Nice. Coming into the night, my only familiarity with Nervous was through the “Peppermints and Scotch” video. During their O’Brien’s set I got pummeled by everything I like about loud, noisy, ’90s-influenced indie rock. I’ll take it.
Announcing The Daykamp Poster & Photo Shows!
We’re putting on a a couple of shows with rock bands, photos and posters at TT’s in October! It’s going to be more awesome than we can put into words. That’s why we had Richard Bouchard do it for us! Here’s a special guest post from the Indie Rock Ranger with the details…
When I was first hired to do booking at TT the Bear’s Place, one of the first things I wanted to do was set up a show with Nicole and Johnny Anguish of Daykamp Creative and Daykamp Music, respectively. I’ve been hiring Nicole to create show posters since back in the Boston Band Crush days, usually giving her no guidance other than the list of bands and the date of the show. She always delivers an incredibly eye-catching, colorful design that doesn’t just provide information; it’s something I want to hang on my wall forever. Then there’s Johnny, always front and center for a rock show before posting amazing photo recaps on his Daykamp Music website. They tirelessly support the music community here, and knowing that I wasn’t the only one to feel that way, I felt that it was high time they present a show. Not just any show, mind you, I wanted them to pick the bands – artists they’ve worked with over the years and bands they’re longtime fans of – but I also wanted to display their work in the club for everyone to see. After some brief discussion, Nicole emailed me back: “We’re thinking we need to do two nights…”
Here’s what they came up with:
Thursday 10/10

Daykamp Music’s Top 5 Moments From Aquanutz Playing A Birthday Party
- Trying to guess which line of “I Remember You” would come next.
- There was a hairbrush. On the stage. On a mic stand.*
- Rodd Godd singing “Baby don’t stop / Take me to the top / And eat it like a piece of cake” while eating an actual piece of cake.
- “Bringin’ On The Heartbreak” sounded amazing. AMAZING.
- “You wanted the best… you got Aquanutz.”
* Hint: Look near Rodd Godd’s knees in the wide shots.
The Field Effect @ The Middle East Downstairs 8.23.2013
On this episode of Daykamp Music Goes To See The Field Effect, Johnny follows Doug, Nick, Annie and Adam into subterranean Cambridge for the band’s show at The Middle East Downstairs. The excitement in the room is palpable after compelling sets from The Susan Constant, The Deep North and Velah. The crowd is hungry for a set of energetic, heartfelt and memorable tunes played with great enthusiasm. All eyes are on The Field Effect as they take the stage. This is the moment the band has been preparing for.
Will The Field Effect make it to the surface alive? Tune in after these photos to find out…
Yes.
The Susan Constant @ The Middle East Downstairs 8.23.2013
The Susan Constant are fun to watch. They ain’t bad to listen to, either…
The Deep North @ The Middle East Downstairs 8.23.2013
Riding high on the release of their latest single, The Deep North brought their ardent indie rock to an appreciative crowd at The Middle East Downstairs.
Velah @ The Middle East Downstairs 8.23.2013
I had been looking forward to this one for a while. Velah, The Deep North, The Susan Constant and The Field Effect together at The Middle East Downstairs? That’s a pretty darn good bill. Velah got things going with songs old, new and re-imagined. I think their delay drenched crescendos are still reverberating through the former bowling alley.
It’s Friday. We’ve got videos.
Hi. Daykamp Music TV, here. Just checking in to let you know about all the cool new videos we’ve got on our not-actually-a-television-station music television station. It’s Friday. I’m not saying you don’t actually want to get any work done, but if you were looking to kill some time you could do worse than checking out some of these videos.
First off, there are a bunch of recently released videos we’ve added. Check out the latest from bands like These Wild Plains, Revocation, Lenny Lashley’s Gang Of One and Soccer Mom.
We’ve got some new classic videos in there, too. Feeling nostalgic for Ball And Pivot or Cliffs Of Dooneen? We’ve got ’em.
Keep watching and you may also see recently added vids from J-Po, Sarah Borges And The Broken Singles and this great two-fer from Triple Thick.
Oh, and I just added all of The Cars videos, because they’re awesome…
The Deep North – “Voices” (2013)

The Deep North
“Voices”
2013
The Deep North must be a pretty self aware bunch. They have to know about their knack for polishing up anthemic indie rock tunes. It’s something they’ve done in the past and have refined to near purity with “Voices”. The soaring vocals, relatable lyrics and wall of guitars that hit when the chorus comes around are designed to lodge the song in your head for at least the rest of the day. It’s a proven technique, and one The Deep North execute effectively. Like I said, they know what they’re doing…
