Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Good things happen when members of Aloud and OldJack team up to benefit the DCF Kids Fund. Lemon Merchant Allstars were just plain wonderful, ripping through their bands’ backlogs and playing music for the joy of it.
Also, more photos of Dan Nicklin in a Santa Hat.
Look, I know this show at Atwood’s is a tie-in to Jed Gottlieb’s wonderful series of guitar videos, but when Jen & Henry from Aloud take the stage it’s all about the harmonies. And the songs. OK, and the guitars, too.
I’m not sure there’s a better band in town at consistently taking the stage and laying down a sweaty set of rock ‘n’ soul than Aloud. They did it again this past Friday at TT’s for the Vary Lumar album release show.
What’s the proper way to usher your new album into the world? Well, Aloud celebrated the release of It’s Got To Be Now with a 19 song blowout of a set at a packed Middle East Upstairs. That seemed to work out pretty well.
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.
Aloud blew people away with their set at Great Scott. Chocolate tastes good with peanut butter.
Aloud is one of those bands that kills it every time they take the stage.* Even when they play first on a Tuesday night.** What more could you ask for? A set full of gutsy pop hooks? Done.
* You know, a good band.
**Especially when they play first on a Tuesday night? Possibly. This is a band that does not take for granted that people came out to see them.
If Parlour Bells got things steamy, Aloud got things sweaty! Talk about a band that leaves it all on stage. The music flows from every pore of their body. Aloud put on a powerhouse performance to cap off an amazing night of music at TT’s.
A huge thanks to Aloud, Sidewalk Driver, Dirty Wings (who came up from NY), Parlour Bells, Boston Band Crush and Daykamp Creative for a wonderful evening. We were so happy to be a part of it.
Here’s Aloud blowing through “Fan The Fury” at Radio.
There’s a fire here. There’s a genuine desire to play the hell out of their songs. Aloud wants your attention. Once they have it, they won’t let go.
