Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Still buzzing from their show at The Sinclair last month, I excitedly made my way to TT’s to catch Cask Mouse. They were wonderful. Again. Even more wonderful was that the night was a benefit for Revolution of Hope organized by Ryan’s Smashing Life and Boston Tweet. Well done, everybody.
This is how you play rock ‘n’ roll, folks. It’s heart, soul, guts and sweat. Aloud know it. It’s how they do it every time.
File this one under things we’ll probably regret, but we’re letting Mellow Bravo pick the Video of the Day all week on Daykamp Music TV. Why? Because they’re awesome and maybe they scare us a little bit. Hey, sometimes being scared is a good thing. Especially when the band picked “More Than A Feeling” as today’s Video of the Day.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that there’s another reason for this video takeover. You see, Mellow Bravo is playing a gigantic Indie Rock Ranger Presents show at The Middle East Downstairs with Sidewalk Driver, Goddamn Draculas, The Silks and Watts on Friday night. That’s a great bill. You should go.
Crazy good Mellow Bravo show event page
Airport are one heck of a band. Their songs are timeless. Their performances are spot on. These guys are real desert island material. Redstar Union is the perfect venue for them. Richard Bouchard deserves some kind of award for presenting Airport in such a fantastic space.
Ryan Schmidt is moving to Nashville. Actually, he may already be there. Or maybe he’s in a car driving there right now. Hold on. Now I’m curious. Anyway, Ryan has been making noteworthy music in these parts and will be missed. Before leaving*, Mr. Schmidt managed to sneak onto one last bill at Redstar Union. As a going away present, just for me, he played “White Horse.”** Thank you, Ryan. Good luck.
* Have we determined if he’s gone yet?
** Not just for me, but I may have been a little more excited to hear that song than I should have.
Prog! Sparhawks closed out a night at TT’s with their mighty, modern music.
The sounds of pensive exuberance, aching and wise, ride the waves of delay emanating from Garvy J. And The Secret Pockets Of Hope And Resistance…
Oh, hey Endation! What are you up to? Wait, is this a bad time? Are you in the middle of something? Uh oh. No need to get so worked up. Take deep breaths. You seem like you’ve got something you need to get off your chest. Careful! Don’t hurt yourself! I’ll just wait over here until you finish your set.
My 2014 started off with another wickedly diverse bill presented by Park Slug. First up was a densely sparkling set from Beauchene Skulls.
Well, here we are again. I’ve finally gotten through all of my photos from 2013. Time for another list-free, favorite-free, best-of-free recap. Just one photo from each of the 277 sets I caught during the year. In order.
So, how was the year that was? Pretty great. I saw a bunch of amazing shows. I probably missed even more. I had a lot of fun. Thanks for that. It’s impossible to put into words how vast and wonderful our music scene is here in Boston. That’s why I bring my camera with me. I hope you like the pictures.
