Eddie Japan @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.26.2013

It’s no secret that Eddie Japan is one of my favorite bands in town. Their run in the 2013 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble showed exactly why that is. Their wasn’t a single moment during any one of their sets in the year’s event where I thought they were anywhere but at their best. From the songs to the showmanship, the folks in Eddie Japan refused to let each other down. This was their night. This was their year. Eddie Japan won the 2013 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble.

Parlour Bells @ Radio 1.18.2013

Oh, Parlour Bells, how you enchant. Sometimes you rumble. Sometimes you croon. You always entertain. The dynamic set you performed for an adoring crowd at the Thank God For The Night release show was one more chapter in this rock ‘n’ roll fairy tale.

The Field Effect @ Brighton Music Hall 12.14.2012

Friday night was a big one at Brighton Music Hall. Boston Band Crush presented their final show. Richard Bouchard put together one heck of a bill for the Boston Band Crush Holiday Spectacular. After a compelling opening set by Emily Peal And The Band Of Skinny Men, The Field Effect took the stage to release their new CD, Cartography. The band tore through a bunch of tunes from that record before busting out their Wham! cover.

Oh, one more thing. The Field Effect took the stage in holiday sweaters.* I feel like I should warn you about that before you look at the pictures.

* Which they quickly shed due to the warmth of the stage lights. At least that’s the excuse they’ll use.

The Field Effect @ Radio 11.16.2012

We should all be lucky enough to approach one aspect of our lives with as much enthusiasm as The Field Effect have for playing their songs* for people.

* And the occasional Weezer cover. They reprised “My Name Is Jonas” from their Halloween set for this show.
