Sean T. Drinkwater said Lifestyle was created to provide an escape. We could use some more of that around here these days. Their Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Semifinal set was a temporary and much needed distraction from reality.

The Daily Pravda are grand. Their set in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Semifinals was majestic. These guys have become one of the best in the city.

The wildest band of this year’s Rumble didn’t sacrifice any pillows to the gods of rock ‘n’ roll in the semifinal round, but that didn’t stop them from raising some hell on the TT’s stage. These guys are just plain awesome.

Before things got crazy crazier mind-bogglingly out of control on Thursday night, a little thing called the Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble kicked off its semifinal round. That honor went to Glenn Yoder And The Western States. With a set that had a slow steady build, the band showed off how dynamic they can be. They won over the judges. Glenn Yoder And The Western States are headed to the Finals.

Mean Creek @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.16.2013
I’ve never seen Mean Creek. Seems like a glaring omission on my part. Thanks to a last minute show put together by Richard Bouchard and Michael Marotta I was finally able to do that. Did I mention that this little quickie show raised $7,740 for the Mass General Hospital EMS Department in the wake of Monday’s tragedy? In a mere few hours, the For Boston benefit show was put together with a great bill and a sprawling raffle. People stuffed the pay-what-you-can donation box and raffle baggies. The bartenders donated their tips. Bands donated merch sales. TT’s owner Bonney Bouley made a personal contribution, as did Rumble sponsor Defunt Tees. You can read all about how all the money was raised over here. You done good, everybody. Thanks.
Oh, yeah. Mean Creek was pretty cool.
The Field Effect @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.16.2013
The Field Effect lift spirits every time they play, which made them an obvious and welcome addition to the For Boston benefit at TT’s. I’m glad they’re around.
Earthquake Party! @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.16.2013
A night of great music for a great cause continued with Earthquake Party! rattling the TT’s foundation at the For Boston benefit.
Endation @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.16.2013
Anthony Conley took the stage for Endation’s set at the For Boston benefit with “Martin” scrawled across the front of his t-shirt in memory of 8 year-old Martin Richard. Then he and Matt Graber played their hearts out for the little guy.
Dan Nicklin @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.16.2013
Dan Nicklin doesn’t play many solo acoustic shows. That’s the kind of special event the For Boston fundraiser was. Emotional stuff.
