Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Last month I got to see OldJack and Cask Mouse on back to back nights at The Sinclair. This made me happy. Last week I got to see OldJack and Cask Mouse together at TT’s raising money for Revolution of Hope as part of a show organized by the good folks at Ryan’s Smashing Life and Boston Tweet. More happiness. This time around, OldJack played their new record in reverse order. These new songs are really starting to hit their stride in a live setting.
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.
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.
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.
Nate Leavitt plays with everyone. Now everyone plays with him! Nate and his band were in fine form at TT’s to celebrate 5 years of Boston Emissions with Anngelle Wood. I’m very much looking forward to his upcoming solo record.
TT’s was home to OldJack’s coming out party. OldJack returned the favor with a smoldering set for the club’s 40th Anniversary.
I didn’t get to see much of OldJack’s set on Georges Island. I had tickets for the next ferry home. Still, I couldn’t leave without hearing something from Boston’s eternal underdogs. I like ’em too much…
