Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
It’s been some time since Miskatonic last played a show. They came back with a fistful of new songs to debut for an enthusiastic crowd at The Rosebud.
Razors In The Night leveled The Rosebud. Flat out leveled it.
Sourpunch is from Providence. They had their debut show at The Rosebud the other night. Twice.
Don’t mess with Tijuana Sweetheart. They want what they want and they want it now. They might even know karate. I’m not kidding. You’ve been warned.
This is Naked On Roller Skates. They’re a real spark plug of a band.
Abbie Barrett came out with dark grey clouds hanging over her set. She was up to some serious business. This was quite a shock to me, as my only previous knowledge of Abbie’s work was the song she wrote and recorded (oh, and performed on this very night) with Brendan Boogie that includes a reference to clubbing baby seals. I wasn’t exactly ready for the brooding songstress that came out with her band, The Last Date.
All storms eventually pass, and such was the case at The Rosebud. Midway through her set, Abbie and her band ventured into some more lighthearted material. The transition made me appreciate both the cloud and its silver lining.
Brendan Boogie is a man with a plan. His plan was to release six EPs in the first half of 2011 with a celebratory shindig thrown every month. He just successfully completed* this cycle with another fun night at The Rosebud in honor of Songs From The Armory Vol. 3.
The opening featured Brendan Boogie and his latest co-conspirators playing the songs from the new EP. It was loose and fun for just about everyone involved.**
The second part of the set had Brendan and The Best Intentions ripping through some of their finest material. I know there was a lot of (probably well-deserved) hype about a certain catch-us-before-our-reunion event elsewhere in town, but Brendan and his gang were putting on a memorable show of their own. No regrets here. It was a blast.
* Well, he did take April off, so the sixth EP didn’t come out until July. For some reason I feel the need to mention this (again). I don’t know if this is because I don’t want people to think I don’t know how to count or if I just like giving Brendan a hard time. It’s most likely the latter, but the former gives me a plausible out.
** Seriously, almost everyone had fun with this part. Almost…
Leo Blais opened yet another night of high quality music at The Rosebud. We’re spoiled around these parts.
The Tenafly Vipers fired riff after riff at the late night revelers who made their way to The Midway for the Idle Baron’s Ball. They even inspired some unusual, uh… dancing, I guess. For these photos, we’re sticking with the loud, fast, action rock side of things…
Jay Allen and his cohorts created a rock n’ roll ruckus at the Idle Barons Ball.
