Here are Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents rippin’ up the rug at The Lizard. They make it look easy.

Beware The Dangers Of A Ghost Scorpion! – Boss Metal Zone (2015)
Beware The Dangers Of A Ghost Scorpion!
Boss Metal Zone
2015
I know we’re well into November, but the city’s finest punk exotica surf rock outfit delivered this Halloween treat that should not go unmentioned. Beware The Dangers Of A Ghost Scorpion! put together the Boss Metal Zone from their time at Rubber Tracks Boston. The four quick-hitters included here are chock full o’ the scorching instrumental goodness you’ve come to expect from the masked musical marauders. Listen if you dare.*
Where to get it:
* Leftover Halloween tagline. Sorry.
Eric Salt & Mike Oram @ Lizard Lounge 11.6.2015
Eric Salt and Mike Oram were on the rug as I settled in for another night of wonderful music at The Lizard. Their set of ’80s tunes included the best cover of The Cars’ “Let’s Go” I’ve ever heard. Well done.
GRCB Supporters as Rage Against The Machine @ O’Brien’s Pub 10.28.2015
The Girls Rock Campaign Boston fundraiser at O’Brien’s ended with a fiery Rage Against The Machine tribute set.
Solo Sexx as Salt-N-Pepa @ O’Brien’s Pub 10.28.2015
Solo Sexx used their infectious energy to channel Salt-N-Pepa for the Girls Rock Campaign Boston fundraiser at O’Brien’s. They even added a few songs of their own for good measure.
AjDIO @ O’Brien’s Pub 10.28.2015
Tackling the works of Ronnie James Dio should not be taken lightly. AjDIO is clearly invested in doing the legend justice. Ajda the Turkish Queen’s vocals were front and center, but it was her uncanny knack for RJD’s mannerisms that turned the set into performance art. The band was locked in. The guitar tones were spot on. On top of that, the whole night was put together to raise money for Girls Rock Campaign Boston. What’s not to love here?
Queens Of Noise as The Runaways @ O’Brien’s Pub 10.28.2015
A few years ago I saw Neon Angel do a set as The Runaways at Radio. This year, the Girls Rock Campaign Boston fundraiser at O’Brien’s brought back a couple of familiar faces for more Runaways fun. Queens Of Noise ripped it up.
GRCB Supporters as Cub @ O’Brien’s Pub 10.28.2015
Three passionate Girls Rock Campaign Boston supporters kicked off a night of Halloween merriment at O’Brien’s with a set of songs by ’90s indie pop band Cub.
Bert And The Manual Transmissions @ The Dante Alighieri Society of Massachusetts 10.24.2015
If Wonder Woman and Captain America got married, you might imagine there’d be some pretty interesting guest at the reception. You’d be right. So when Bert from Sesame Street, Super Chicken, Barry Gibb, Vincent Vega, Buddy the elf, the milkman, a flapper, Mr. Moxie, Matthew Crawley, The Penguin and Brendan Haley J Mascis a wizard guy get up and play some Stones, Cheap Trick, Tom Petty and ‘Mats covers you shouldn’t be surprised. No, instead you should be thankful you have a pocket camera and snap a couple of pictures.
Oh, and you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Bert sing “Here Comes A Regular.”
