The Irreverends @ The Rosebud Bar 3.18.2011

The Irreverends have another of their semi-regular reunions, this time to kick off a birthday celebration in honor of The Rosebud’s Aimee McGrath.

These guys lay it all out there. Adam White is focused as he spins his tales. Chris Keene is absolutely on fire behind the drums. John Brookhouse is a guitar monster, bleeding solos out of his 335. Jason Murray, lead guitar player for The World Famous Dirt Mall Rock & Roll Band, doesn’t miss a beat filling in on bass (with a torn ligament in his thumb, no less).

Well done, gentlemen.

Hopefully The Irreverends will continue this tradition of getting together every now and again to remind people how good they are. Now if only they’d release that unfinished album…

Brendan Boogie And The Best Intentions @ The Rosebud Bar 3.12.2011

Mr. Boogie decided he was going to release one new EP a month for the first six months of 2011. He’s ambitious. This show at The Rosebud Bar was the release party for the third of those. He’s also a slacker and is skipping the month of April. Look for the next three EPs in May, June and July.

The Figgs @ Precinct 3.4.2011

The Figgs have been playing together for nearly 24 years. To say they are a tight outfit would be an understatement. I know The Figgs aren’t technically a Boston band, but their ties to the area are very strong. I’m going to allow it.
