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.



Tim McCoy & The Papercuts @ Precinct 3.4.2011

Ok, so these guys and gal aren’t from Boston. They’re from New Hampshire. Close enough. Don’t hassle me.

Tim McCoy & The Papercuts put on a frenetic set at Precinct. The driving bass lines and boy/girl vocals provided a potent one-two punch. They put on quite a show.

How can a band that draws so heavily from the past sound so thoroughly modern? Scott Janovitz and his comrades in The Russians seem to have figured out how to do just that.

Damn, these guys are good…
