Tanya Donelly @ Midway Cafe 11.9.2012

Tanya Donelly backed by Buffalo Tom at the Midway? I never thought I’d see this. I’m not going to think about this one too much. It’s a special occasion. Special things happen. I’m just going to enjoy hearing some of my favorite Tanya-penned tunes* (along with a cool cover of “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”) and count my blessings. It is almost Thanksgiving, after all.

* “Slow Dog” anyone? So good.

Honeysuckle Rose @ Midway Cafe 11.9.2012

Honeysuckle Rose found birthday guest of honor Chris Toppin and friends* doing an Anita O’Day inspired send-up of, you guessed it, “Honeysuckle Rose.”

Darling Pet Munkee @ Brighton Music Hall 10.31.2012

Darling Pet Munkee released their new EP, You Better Believe It!, on Halloween. That seems appropriate, doesn’t it? The band celebrated with a show at Brighton Music Hall that showcased their comic-book-ad-inspired-sonic-freakout sound. My only complaint? They should have turned up Bonesy Darling’s backing vocals.
