Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
To celebrate the vinyl release of Shadow Hymns, Worshipper played their album front-to-back at the Norwood Newbury Comics location during daylight hours. Pretty sweet.
Here’s your 2015 Boston Music Awards “Metal Artist of the Year” blowing minds at The Sinclair. Worshipper rules.
The baddest bunch of Boston-based dudes to don white wearables while blasting their boogie just floored their fans* at Once to lend a helping hand. White Dynomite!
* Technically, they floored a bandmate.
It’s Monday night. I’m at TT’s. Because Worshipper.
And then there was Worshipper. There are stories from the time before they awoke. Hollow stories. Tales of emptiness and woe. No more! For having witnessed this glorious beast displaying its fiery plumage on stage at The Sinclair, I am here to tell you that the darkness comes. It wields a mighty riff and rides a thunderous groove. Prepare yourselves. It is wonderful.
As I was editing these photos I got word that Mellow Bravo guitarist Jeffery Fultz is moving to Boise, Idaho. We wish him the best, but this is a huge bummer for ‘Bravo fans. Sad face. The band will soldier on, of course, but we’ll miss Jeffrey’s riffs and showmanship. At least we’ve got some great memories of his time with the band, like Mellow Bravo’s set closing out last month’s big Indie Rock Ranger show at The Middle East Downstairs…
Watts are a really good band. You know that, right? The big guitars are just the right size, drawing from Nielsen, Petty and The Brothers Young. The songs are equally at home over the radio or PA. Oh, and these guys know how to put on a show. It had been far too long since I had last seen Watts. Thankfully, Richard Bouchard came through with a stellar bill. Watts kicked off the night at The Middle East Downstairs.
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.
If you need a special guest band to put an exclamation point on an amazing night (that kicks off an amazing week) of music you could do worse than Mellow Bravo. In fact, if you picked anyone else you probably are doing worse. Proof? Mellow Bravo’s set to close out the first night of TT’s 40th Anniversary week…
My life would be less good without Mellow Bravo. It’s just that simple.
