Special occasions call for special guests. How about The Pills for the On the Town with Mikey Dee 25th Anniversary show? I think Mikey Dee would have approved. I’ve still got “Pop Goes Mandy” in my head.
Aloud @ The Middle East Upstairs 5.9.2014
What’s the proper way to usher your new album into the world? Well, Aloud celebrated the release of It’s Got To Be Now with a 19 song blowout of a set at a packed Middle East Upstairs. That seemed to work out pretty well.
Answerman @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 5.4.2014
