Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
The Walter Sickert And The Army Of Broken Toys album release party at Brighton Music Hall is giving me my first opportunity to catch Ruby Rose Fox with her full band. I was impressed when she played a stripped back set for Lounge Act. I’m doubly impressed here. The sound is timeless and the show is tight. When does The Rumble start again?
On a night when a lot of things were out of the ordinary, Doom Lover pulled off something extraordinary. While Jeffrey Vachon sang his heart out, two of his bandmates performed a shadow puppet show that demonstrated the kind of heart this band has. I’ve never seen anything like it in a rock club. I won’t soon forget it.
Oh, Doom Lover can rip it up pretty good, too…
Hi. We love the Boston music scene here at Daykamp Music. We love it so much we made it a present. It’s called Daykamp Music TV.
OK, it’s not really TV. You’d probably figure that out on your own. We just saw all of these really cool music videos being made and we wanted some way to watch them one right after the other. You know, like the good ol’ days of music television. Is that so wrong? So we built this. Then we found that we kept watching it, like, all the time. So we figured maybe someone else would want to watch videos this way, too.
There’s not a whole lot to it. Go ahead, click the play button. Watch some videos. Like a video? Give it a thumbs up. Better yet, share it with your friends. Not digging a song? Skip it. Dont worry, there’s no penalty for skipping a song. Keep an open mind, though. Maybe we’ll help you find your new favorite band.
We hope to make Daykamp Music TV something you will love. We’re still in beta, so you may find a feature here or there that doesn’t work quite right. Feel free to drop us a line if you have any issues. Or maybe there’s a video you think we should know about. We’d love to hear about that, too.
Boston bands inspired this. We built it. Daykamp Creative made it look good. It was a team effort.
Tonight’s show was advertised as having a vaudeville bent, so seeing an oboe and viola up on stage with Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling doesn’t seem that strange. Then again, their performance was preceded by ukulele confessions, gut-wrenching music-as-therapy, a “ventriloquist”, burlesque and Tad McKitterick. My sense of normal might be a bit off right now.
Sophia Cacciola provided a song about monkeys on the ukulele. Porcelain Dalya and Maggie Maraschino provided some burlesque. Vaudeville night at Precinct lived up to its billing.
Harris Hawk is a volatile collaboration. It threatens to tear itself apart as some sort of defense mechanism. Survival of the shrewdest.
Hi! I’m Daykamp Music. I’m two years old today! Happy birthday to me!
Before I get to some pictures, I want to take a moment to thank you for supporting the site. It means a lot to me that you take the time to stop by and share the photos and blurbs with your friends. So, thanks for that.
OK! On to the pictures! Good work this year, bands. There were some great memories being made out there. I couldn’t possibly share them all here. Keep it up. I’ll bring my camera.
JoJo The Disarmingly Endearing And Incredibly Insightful Poetess* opened a night of vaudeville style entertainment at Precinct.
* Truth in advertising.
It can be tough having a late slot on a school night. You have to dig a little deeper to keep yourself going. It ain’t glamorous loading out late and getting up early. Some bands can’t cut it. They pack up and go home. Other bands put on their shiny jackets and step onto that stage like there’s no place else they’d rather be.
Parlour Bells…
