Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
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.
Richard Bouchard has been putting together some pretty great shows over at TT’s lately. This particular Thursday night kicked off with Parlour Bells filling the club with charisma, wit and moody pop tunes. Their tactful mix of songs and showmanship never gets old.
I had only seen The Shills a couple of times before seeing them open for Spacehog. My band squared off against them in the 2008 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble prelims. Neither of us advanced. I saw them again a couple of years later at a Rock n Romp event. The kids and I enjoyed them. It had been 3 years since our paths last crossed. You’ll forgive me if I wasn’t prepared for what I saw at Great Scott. These guys are playing in a whole new league now. The Shills are impressive.
Oh, look! It’s Sidewalk Driver opening for Spacehog at Great Scott. No big deal.*
* Yes, it is.
Gozu just released The Fury Of A Patient Man. The band took over Radio for a whole weekend to properly introduce it to the world. These guys are really good.
While there was a quick break in the action upstairs at the Gozu show, I bopped down to Moe’s to see what was going on. Guilty Party was rocking Freak Flag First Friday. Nice.
My life would be less good without Mellow Bravo. It’s just that simple.
