Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
The Watch City Festival descended upon Waltham last weekend. I took Big Little One down to the Waltham Common to check out some of the music. We caught What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? and strolled around for a bit. Hooray for free, open-air music events!
The Year Million are closing out a Thursday night at TT’s with a set of modern alternative rock that sounds ready for stages much bigger than this one. This is some well-honed stuff.
The Luxury do majestic indie rock in a big way. Their set at TT’s featured some new faces and new tunes, but the sound was was as grand as ever.
Richard Bouchard has been putting together some pretty great shows over at TT’s lately. This particular Thursday night kicked off with Parlour Bells filling the club with charisma, wit and moody pop tunes. Their tactful mix of songs and showmanship never gets old.
In an effort to make Daykamp Music TV as inclusive as possible, we had the idea to occasionally let other people pick the Video of the Day. This starts right now! To kick things off we turn the reigns over to Richard Bouchard for the entire week. That’s right! The Indie Rock Ranger himself will be choosing the Video of the Day through Friday. Have we made a huge mistake? Possibly. His first pick is “The Land Of Hopes & Dreams” by Mean Creek, though. Maybe this will work out after all.
I had only seen The Shills a couple of times before seeing them open for Spacehog. My band squared off against them in the 2008 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble prelims. Neither of us advanced. I saw them again a couple of years later at a Rock n Romp event. The kids and I enjoyed them. It had been 3 years since our paths last crossed. You’ll forgive me if I wasn’t prepared for what I saw at Great Scott. These guys are playing in a whole new league now. The Shills are impressive.
Oh, look! It’s Sidewalk Driver opening for Spacehog at Great Scott. No big deal.*
* Yes, it is.
Gozu just released The Fury Of A Patient Man. The band took over Radio for a whole weekend to properly introduce it to the world. These guys are really good.
While there was a quick break in the action upstairs at the Gozu show, I bopped down to Moe’s to see what was going on. Guilty Party was rocking Freak Flag First Friday. Nice.
Oh, hey! I didn’t see you there. Thanks for stopping by.
Have you checked out Daykamp Music TV lately? It’s rolling along quite nicely. We’ve got over 200 videos by more than 100 different Boston/New England acts in there right now. It’s growing every day. We’ve added 69 73 videos in the last 10 days alone! Videos like the new ones from John Powhida International Airport and Gentlemen Hall. Or today’s Video of the Day from Whitcomb. How about classics from bands like Belly and this year’s Rumble special guest band The Dogmatics? Oh, and have you seen this trippy MMOSS video? So cool.
We hope you’re digging what we’re doing. Feel free to hit us up with ideas and feedback. We’re just getting started. This is fun.
