Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
The Interrobang brought a block party feel to PorchFest. Their feisty indie rock provided the soundtrack. They even threw in some Radiohead in preparation for their Brit Night at Radio.
PorchFest! What a beautiful day to head into Somerville and listen to bands play out-of-doors. Big Little One and I jumped in the car after his swimming lesson* to catch some songs from The Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library. We camped out on the sidewalk and enjoyed the ample sunshine and harmonies. As we walked away, Big Little One informed me that he had enjoyed himself.
“I like the way they sound. They sound the best.”
* There may have been a quick stop for a donut on the way.
OldJack at Radio is comfort food for my ears.
I’m becoming a big fan of Slowdim’s dreamy pop. Everything about it just sounds right. Sometimes it’s that simple.
Brother Fight are only a couple of shows into their existence and they’re already making some big noise.
The Lights Out aren’t afraid to take chances. This is a band that covered Queen this past Halloween and did “Bohemian Rhapsody” in its entirety. Stripping back their usual big rock aesthetic into a compelling semi-acoustic set probably seemed like a walk in the park after that. Good stuff at Radio last Friday…
I do so enjoy the music of Dave Mirabella. He can do a full on rock show with The Rationales or play solo with his acoustic guitar and I will be happy. This past Friday night at Radio was the latter. I had missed a chance to see him play earlier in the week. I wasn’t going to make the same mistake again.
The Watch City Festival descended upon Waltham last weekend. I took Big Little One down to the Waltham Common to check out some of the music. We caught What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? and strolled around for a bit. Hooray for free, open-air music events!
The Year Million are closing out a Thursday night at TT’s with a set of modern alternative rock that sounds ready for stages much bigger than this one. This is some well-honed stuff.
The Luxury do majestic indie rock in a big way. Their set at TT’s featured some new faces and new tunes, but the sound was was as grand as ever.
