The Shods. Rock ‘n’ Roll. 25 years of On the Town with Mikey Dee. Good people. Good times.
The Shods @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 5.29.2014
The Pills @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 5.29.2014
Special occasions call for special guests. How about The Pills for the On the Town with Mikey Dee 25th Anniversary show? I think Mikey Dee would have approved. I’ve still got “Pop Goes Mandy” in my head.
Muck And The Mires @ Precinct 8.17.2012
Muck And The Mires owned Precinct on Friday night. The closest thing Boston has to The Cavern Club got shaken and stirred by the closest thing this town has to the Merseybeat sound.
Muck And The Mires @ Great Scott 6.2.2012
Hearing Muck And The Mires play “Saturday Let Me Down Again” on a Saturday night will never get old.
Muck And The Mires @ Radio 5.4.2012
Muck And The Mires. The songs of ’64 meet the spirit of ’77. This band never disappoints.
Muck And The Mires @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 11.18.2011
Muck And The Mires put on one hell of a show to celebrate the release of their new album, A Cellarful Of Muck. I think we take for granted that Muck and the gang are always around town banging out their amazing British Invasion meets ’77 NYC tunes. We shouldn’t. They’re too good for that. This was one of the best sets I’ve seen all year.
Corin Ashley & Dave Aaronoff @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 9.20.2011
Corin Ashley and Dave Aaronoff play together quite a bit, so it was no surprise to find them closing out this bill. Watching them, I got the feeling that if they weren’t on stage at TT’s that night they very well could have been playing these songs on somebody’s couch. It’s just what they do.
The Shods @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.22.2011
This was The Shods’ second appearance in a Rumble Finals. Most bands aren’t so lucky.
The first time, back in 1999, The Sheila Divine won it all. I wasn’t there that night, but I can almost guarantee that there were many in attendance who felt The Shods were robbed. It happens every year. Such is The Rumble.
In 2011, The Shods returned to The Rumble Finals. This time, Anngelle Wood brought them back as the special guest band. Good call, Anngelle.* A raucous and rowdy set from The Shods was a great way to end a Rumble that truly was a celebration of Boston rock ‘n’ roll.
*Seriously, how great of a job did Anngelle Wood do putting this thing together? It boggles the mind.
The Corin Ashley Rock Band – “Ladybug” @ Precinct 3.4.2011
La-la-la-la-la-la-la ladybug!
The Corin Ashley Rock Band @ Precinct 3.4.2011
Another fantastic show at Precinct. This one started off with The Corin Ashley Rock band showing off their hook-laden wares.
