Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
The Milling Gowns’ post-punk aesthetic was warmly received by the Radio audience on a cold Friday night. The growing crowd was drawn in by echos of Joy Division and The Cure. Their set kicked off Artificial Night #1, a celebration of the new releases from Parlour Bells and Lifestyle.
There was some enthusiastic punking and rocking down in Moe’s Lounge this past Friday night courtesy of Mike Woo’s Raging Bone. Fun stuff.
Ever since our Christmas Eve Eve outing to Radio, Big Little One has been asking to go see Roy Sludge again. On Sunday we did just that. He even took some pictures, mostly of shoes. The photo of Roy’s shoes in the set is one of his. I wouldn’t object if going to listen to some Sun Records throwback sounds became a regular thing for us.
How do you celebrate a new record? Do what Cult 45 did for On High. First, get Chelsea On Fire to reunite for the release show. Then get White Dynomite and Slim Lizzy* on the bill. At the end of the night you can take the stage and pummel the crowd with a fantastic set of heavy boogie. Just like Cult 45 did.
Guaranteed success.
* On the anniversary of Phil Lynott’s passing, no less.
Chelsea On Fire let loose with a powerful and emotional set for their first show in ten years. This was high drama.
Ever since I found out White Dynomite exists I’ve been itching to catch one of their sets. These guys are all punk bombast and soulful swagger. I dig it.
It’s Christmas Eve Eve and I’ve taken Big Little One over to Radio for some Roy Sludge. Everyone seems to be in a good mood. Roy mixes in some holiday numbers to keep things festive. Big Little One even got a sticker. I sense some more Sundays at Radio for me and this six year old. Maybe next time his little brother will tag along…
Naked On Roller Skates closed out the December edition of the Brendan Boogie & The Broken Gates residency at Radio with an excitable set. Much fun was had by many.
Brendan Boogie has an ongoing residency at Radio the first Thursday of every month with his latest band, Brendan Boogie & The Broken Gates. It’s a rocking outfit who play well off each other. Most of the material is new, but fear not. Mr Boogie still knows how to write a memorable tune. You’ll have one or two new favorites by the end of the set.
