The Decals @ Radio 10.11.2012

The Decals played their first show in 10 years at Bands For Babs. I was right up front watching my favorite Boston band of all time playing some of the best you-done-me-wrong punk tunes this city has ever seen. Just as I was thinking that I must be the happiest person in the room, I looked over and saw Barbara “Babs” Walsh herself standing up, singing along to every song.

OK, Babs, you win this time.

Full Disclosure: I’m married to a member of The Decals. I still think it’s safe to say that their set was awesome.*

* Because it was.

Eric Salt & The Electric City @ Moe’s Lounge 10.11.2012

I was really anxious on October 11th, the first day of the Bands For Babs benefit. Having “Never Intended” by Eric Salt & The Electric City stuck in my head all day helped to calm me down. After being upstairs at Radio for The Modifiers and AM Stereo, I bopped down to Moe’s Lounge to catch as much of Eric Salt and his band as I could. Just as I walked into the wood-paneled sanctuary, The Electric City kicked into “Never Intended” and everything was right in the world.

The Modifiers @ Radio 10.11.2012

I can’t think of a better band to kick off the Bands For Babs benefit than The Modifiers. Barbara Walsh and The Modifiers go way back. Their set was like the first robin of the spring. It was going to be a fun couple of nights at Radio helping out our dear friend.

That Beatles Band @ Radio 10.6.2012

Here we’ve got some members of local rock acts taking time to pay tribute to The Beatles. We’re always looking for ways to expose the little guys to live music, so we took the kids down to Radio on a Saturday afternoon to catch some tunes from That Beatles Band. The kids treated the club like a gymnasium while we all enjoyed band.

Razors In The Night @ Radio 10.5.2012

Razors In The Night bring it fast, heavy and tight. They owned Radio for their set at Nicole Tammaro’ book release party.

Full Body Anchor @ Radio 10.5.2012

Full Body Anchor ripped it up as a four piece on the Radio stage for Nicole Tammaro’s book release party. I’ve never seen a band as intense as Full Body Anchor have so much fun. Normally, that’s a delicate balancing act. Full Body Anchor flat-out levitates.

AM Stereo @ Radio 10.5.2012

I love AM Stereo. How much do I love them? I just saw them twice in a week and if they played again tonight I’d be there. This set of disaster rock* was to celebrate the release of Nicole Tammaro’s new rock photography book. I’ll have pics from Bands For Babs coming up soon.

* Boston’s finest since 1998!
