Animal Talk @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.2.2012

Animal Talk closed their Rumble set with a killer version of their song “Into The Sun”.* It was an early Rumble highlight for me. They may not have won the night, but their rock/pop/dance hybrid got some bodies moving. That seems like a win to me.

Preliminary Night #2 Winner: Garvy J. And The Secret Pockets Of Hope And Resistance

* A song I love so much I put it on my most recent Spotify playlist (which you can listen to here).

2012 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Preview

Well, it’s that time of the year again. The Rumble is upon us. Sunday night will kick off the 2012 edition of this rock n’ roll institution. I called the 2011 version “a crash course in Boston awesomeness”. I have no reason to think this year won’t be the same. Having been to many a Rumble show (and participated in a couple) I can tell you these are always a lot of fun.

For the past few years The Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble has been curated by Anngelle Wood. She’s done a fine job, hasn’t she? This year will be no exception. I’ve managed to document exactly half of this year’s participants in the wild. I look forward to checking out the other half. Below is the complete schedule with some links to the bands’ shows I’ve caught in the past. If all goes according to plan, you’ll be seeing lots of Rumble pics up on Daykamp Music over the next few weeks. Check back often. More importantly, go see some of the shows!

Animal Talk @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 3.8.2012

By the end of Animal Talk’s set at TT’s, I was hooked. These guys seem to have stumbled upon same magical concoction of rock, pop and dance music that allows each aspect to shine. I look forward to catching these guys again at The Rumble…

Oh! Animal Talk also did a spot-on cover of “Easy Lover”.* I feel like that should be mentioned.

* Brendan Boogie was, perhaps, more excited about this than any adult should have been. Good for him.
