I swung by TT’s to watch a stripped down version of Streight Angular prove that a good song is a good song, no matter the arrangement. This band has plenty of those good songs to use for evidence. They even used a Phil Collins song. I wish every band had Streight Angular’s heart.
Secret Lover @ The Middle East Upstairs 3.19.2015
Secret Lover wooed The Middle East crowd with a late night set of genre-defying pop.
The Prefab Messiahs @ The Middle East Upstairs 3.19.2015
The Prefab Messiahs went to another dimension with their trippy retro-pop for the release of their new Maxi-EP at The Middle East.
The Barbazons @ The Middle East Upstairs 3.19.2015
They were one of the best bands in town as The Fagettes. They continue to be one of the best bands in town as The Barbazons. What they call themselves and why is their business. I’m just glad they’re a band.
Fedavees @ The Middle East Upstairs 3.19.2015
Fedavees got trippy and raw at The Middle East for The Prefab Messiahs’ release show.
Creaturos @ T.T. The Bearâs Place 3.10.2015
Creaturos closed out a night of rock ‘n’ roll hypnosis in Central Square.
The TeleVibes @ The Middle East Upstairs 3.10.2015
The TeleVibes cranked out the psychedelic, garage-y, surf rock at The Middle East for an Illegally Blind show. Killer.
Beware the Dangers of a Ghost Scorpion! @ The Middle East Upstairs 3.10.2015
There’s nothing I don’t like about Beware the Dangers of a Ghost Scorpion! Their twangy, surf-exotica sound with its horror punk soul rings loud and true in my ears.
Boogie Boy Metal Mouth @ The Middle East Upstairs 3.10.2015
I don’t know if the world is ready for Boogie Boy Metal Mouth, but I’m glad they’re not waiting around to find out. They went all in at The Middle East for an Illegally Blind show.
