The Abbey Lounge Reunion shows at Sally O’Brien’s brought Heavy Stud back together for a rippin’ set. Hot diggity, that was pretty great.
The Decals @ Sally O’Brien’s 4.28.2016
My favorite Boston band ever* had a little reunion and made Sally O’Brien’s feel like the Abbey Lounge. The Decals are the best. Honest.
* This would be true even if I wasn’t married to a member of the band.
The Charms @ Sally O’Brien’s 4.28.2016
The Abbey Lounge Reunion had The Charms cranking out some garage rock at Sally O’Brien’s.
Triple Thick @ Sally O’Brien’s 4.28.2016
Triple Thick kept the spirit of the Abbey Lounge alive at Sally O’Brien’s. I’ve had “All Banged Up” in my head ever since.
Classic Ruins @ Sally O’Brien’s 4.28.2016
Classic Ruins kept the Abbey Lounge Reunion at Sally O’Brien’s rolling with a set of good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n’ roll.
Red Zone Cuba @ Sally O’Brien’s 4.28.2016
Abbey Lounge reunion? I’m in. Red Zone Cuba were first into the rock ‘n’ roll wayback machine at Sally O’Brien’s.
Township @ Great Scott 2.26.2016
Remember that time back in February when Township played a killer set at Great Scott to celebrate the release of Light Years on vinyl? Here are some pictures to jog your memory…
Sidewalk Driver @ Great Scott 2.26.2016
A night with Sidewalk Driver is always magical. Like when they played Great Scott for the Township vinyl release show. Magical. Always.
When Particles Collide @ Great Scott 2.26.2016
Here’s When Particles Collide wailing away at Great Scott, their passion on display with every fuzzed-out stomp.
Guster @ The Verb Hotel 1.15.2016
It occurred to me as I sat on the floor of The Verb Hotel room newly named in their honor that the first time I saw Guster was in a similarly sized space with about as many people.* The difference? This time they followed up with a pair of shows at the House Of Blues instead of trekking off to another college rec room. The band may have only played a few songs, but it was a unique experience that the folks at DO617 put together with the hotel for a few appreciative fans. Neat.
* At Providence College. They were simply known as Gus at the time.
