Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
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.
Job Creators twisted complex rhythms and intricate bass parts into creative musical moments.
Former teen idol Doug Orey played the songs of The Field Effect* for an adoring TT’s crowd.
* …and an Elliott Smith cover and maybe something else. I’m old and forgetful.
Good things happen when Nate Leavitt plays guitar. I’ve seen it over and over with Parlour Bells, Old Jack, The Blizzard Of 78, Brendan Boogie and Phil Aiken. He’s got a way of leaving an impression. His solo sets are no different. Listening to Nate fingerpick the hell out of his Martin on “The World Today”* made me wish the song would never end.
* From his 2011 solo EP, Inference.
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate Phil Wisdom (here are some songs he wrote with Buterknife in case you’re not sure why this is such a good idea).

OK, I feel better now.
Davina Yannetty’s songs are full of wit and ukulikability. She kicked off a night of fantastic, stripped-down sets at TT’s.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Abbie Barrett And The Last Date — too long for a band this good. Their set at TT’s is making me feel like I’ve been missing something.
Blackbutton burned through an intense set at TT’s.
Three Day Threshold brought their whiskey soaked stomp ‘n’ roll to TT’s.
Have I ever mentioned how great I think Airport’s songs are? Yes, I think I have. My feelings have not changed. They’re still keeping the flame of ’70s AM radio alive. They even did a cover of The Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody” to further endear themselves to me.* Well played, Airport.
* That’s why they did it, right? Right?
