Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Endless Wave chose this Friday night at TT’s to celebrate the release of their new LP, Notes From The Compound. I want to call their set “cosmic” for some reason. Hmmm. Seems to fit.
Endless Wave’s set was cosmic.
Soft Pyramids are cool. Really cool.
Vary Lumar brought their modern indie rock sounds to the TT’s stage.
OK, I’ll admit that I know very little about Emily Peal. She mentioned she drove up from New York for this show. I believe she lives there now. A quick search indicates strong ties to the Boston area. Looks like she may have lived here. That’s good enough for me.
One thing I know is that Emily Peal opened the Static Of The Gods EP release show at TT’s this past Friday. I also know I liked her set. I took some pictures. I will share them with you.
Here we are at the end of a most pleasant evening. The Rationales have released a wonderful new album, The Distance In Between, and we all came out and celebrate.
After The Rationales opened the night with a laid back acoustic set, we were treated to the power pop stylings of The Future Everybody. Before long we found ourselves enthralled by OldJack’s performance. Now The Rationales were coming back out to give us a proper send off. Their performance was heartfelt and determined. They were not about to let anyone leave disappointed. The Rationales sent us home smiling.
I think I’m still humming “No Guarantees”.
I’m sitting here trying to describe how I felt during OldJack’s set at the underground den known as Lizard Lounge this past weekend. I write and rewrite, my words always coming up short. It’s frustrating, because I want to find some concise way to convey how wonderful it is seeing OldJack play. If you haven’t had a chance to see them, I want to tell you that there’s a good chance you are missing out on something that may bring you great joy. Did you see them in The Rumble? Unreal. OldJack breathes life into whatever room they inhabit. There is something special about the moments when Dan Nicklin, Kelly Davis, Christie Beaulieu and Emily Belastock all sing together. I want to grab you by the scruff of your neck and drag you to an OldJack show so you can see what I’ve been fortunate enough to see.
Oh, I guess I feel lucky.
Here is The Future Everybody.
The Rationales opened and closed their own CD release show for The Distance In Between. They booked a great bill with friends OldJack and The Future Everybody. They had special guests join them during their sets. The Rationales did it up right.
The first set was a stripped down acoustic affair featuring mandolin, cajón and melodica. Good stuff.
Davina Yannetty is a dynamo. She has a big voice and a small guitar.* She loves Billy Squier, prog rock and long walks on the beach.** Oh, and her last name rhymes with spaghetti.
*Not really. It’s a ukulele.
**I know 2 out of 3 of these things to be true. The third could be conjecture or a blatant lie.
I had never heard of Melvern Taylor before this night at TTs. Over the course of the evening a few different people asked me if I had ever seen him perform before. They knew. Now I know. Melvern Taylor And His Fabulous Meltones are amazing.
