Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Whoa. This isn’t rock music; this is beat poetry set to manic outbursts of distorted disobedience. Shoney Lamar & The Equal Rights just floored me.
You know what I always say: “When it snows, I need to boogie!”* Well, it’s snowing, so I’m off to Radio for Brendan Boogie’s first-Thursday-of-every-month-until-the-end-of-time residency. The band is good great. The puns are bad terrible. It’s exactly what I had hoped for.
* I never have and never will say this. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever. Ever. Never.
The Field Effect! The Pill! Richard Bouchard’s birthday! Bowie cover! Tad! Doug Orey without a hoodie!Boucharding masks! Pictures! Cake! Done.
The Daily Pravda’s set at TT’s last Tuesday was the best I’ve seen from the band. They’re ready to Rumble.
Lifestyle is in The Rumble. That means they’ll be back on the TT’s stage in early April to do what they did there last Tuesday night: smash people in the face with sweet synth sounds and lavish pop hooks.
Aloud is one of those bands that kills it every time they take the stage.* Even when they play first on a Tuesday night.** What more could you ask for? A set full of gutsy pop hooks? Done.
* You know, a good band.
**Especially when they play first on a Tuesday night? Possibly. This is a band that does not take for granted that people came out to see them.
The Frost Heaves closed out a Monday night at TT’s with a blustery set.
Indiana Handshake came up from Providence to display their finely-honed, modern rock wares for the people of T.T. The Bear’s.
The Milling Gowns just put me on notice. I caught them for the first time earlier this year when they won over a Radio crowd. I enjoyed that set. The band’s set at TT’s last week was something else entirely. It was vital. There was urgency. The Milling Gowns are building toward something big. Let’s see how this plays out.
You People have just jumped on to my imaginary list of favorite bands around town. I missed the trio’s first few shows. The fourth time was the charm. Their angst-addled fuzzfest has got me buzzing.
