Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Tallahassee have big, big hearts. The holiday show that they put on at The Sinclair was the kind of event that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. They even brought along Mellow Bravo, The Field Effect and Cask Mouse to make sure I was entertained all night. Thanks, Tallahassee. That was a great way to end 2013.
I couldn’t let one more chance to see Mellow Bravo in 2013 slip away. They’re the root’n toot’n-est. They blew the roof off The Sinclair with another humdinger of a set.
These are photos I took of The Field Effect at The Sinclair. The show was right before Christmas, so they played their cover of “Blue Christmas.” They were attired in some quickly discarded festive garb. Hmmm, what else. Oh, it was a Field Effect show, so there were a bunch of catchy tunes played with precision and exuberance. Doug did not fall down. He did jump. Adam pretty much destroyed the drum hardware. Nick successfully churned out guitar lines while avoiding whiplash and Annie actually managed to stay still for .001% of the time.* All in a night’s work for The Field Effect.
* This is a scientific calculation. Wait, no it isn’t.
Here I am at my final show of 2013 and Cask Mouse may be playing the best set I’ve seen all year. They’re impossibly good right now. The Sinclair is teeming with energy, harmonies, hoots, hollers, twang and grit. It’s pure joy. I love this band. I love, love, love, LOVE this band.
All of New Parade, a Top 40 cover medley with Davina Yannetty and a holiday hoedown? The Sheila Divine gave us all an early Christmas present during OldJack’s Holiday Homage at The Sinclair.
For the second year in a row, OldJack’s Holiday Homage has brought a fantastic slate of local bands to the stage of The Sinclair. For their set (at their party), OldJack played all of the songs from their new What Is Home To You? album. What a wonderful night of music. Well done, OldJack.
The Rationales always have a way of putting a smile on my face. At OldJack’s Holiday Homage, the band covered “Do They Know It’s Christmas” to close their set, changed up the words to one of their own tunes to make it a holiday number and released a new five song EP. See what I mean?
OldJack’s Holiday Homage at The Sinclair is back! Last year’s event found OldJack and friends being the first Boston acts to grace the stage of the shiny new venue. This year, three of the acts are releasing new music. Splendid! Nate Leavitt has the honor of kicking off the festivities, showcasing the songs from his new album, You, Me and The Silence. Nate and his band are in fine form.
The Easy Reasons ripped through a set of hooky rock ‘n’ roll to close out a pretty cool night at O’Brien’s.
Endation are pressing on the nerve. They won’t stop. They want your attention. They need your attention. Now that they have it, they’re not letting go.
