Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
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.
How do you sell out a show at Radio? Well, starting the night with Slim Lizzy certainly doesn’t hurt. Watching these guys nail the Thin Lizzy sound on the anniversary of Phil Lynott’s passing was pretty special.* Oh, how I love guitarmony.
* I guess when the show was booked no one realized the significance of the date. Sometimes awesome things happen by chance.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s my 273,000 word essay on the Boston music scene in 2012. I kept it simple. No favorites. No “best of” lists. Just one picture from each of the 273 sets I caught this past year. In order. They’re all here: The Rumble, One Night Band, Bands For Babs, Radio’s first anniversary show, birthday shows, holiday shows, record release shows, cover sets, solo sets, themed shows and your every day run of the mill kick-ass rock shows.
Thanks for all the great memories. Let’s make some more.
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…
Gentlemen Hall closed down OldJack’s Holiday Homage by giving fans of their flute/synth pop hybrid everything they could hope for at The Sinclair.
