Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Remember that time back in February when Township played a killer set at Great Scott to celebrate the release of Light Years on vinyl? Here are some pictures to jog your memory…
Township rippin’ new classic riffs is always a sight to behold. Atwood’s was the perfect backdrop for the band’s latest set of timeless tunes.
This is Township. They are are good at rock ‘n’ roll.
You already knew that Township rules, right? OK. Just making sure we’re clear on that. They put on another killer show at The Middle East for the Goddamn Draculas release show.
The Blue Ribbons opened up the Township/Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents dual release show at The Lizard. Boy howdy, can these guys play.
Township are from another time. They may be from the past. They may be from the future. I’m not entirely sure. What I am sure of is that the slabs of riffage and rhyme they were laying down at Redstar Union last week made for one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Good golly.
Where is the mystical fountain of classic riffage from whence Township drinks? The band heaved abundant slabs of rolling rock upon the Brighton Music Hall crowd at the Boston Does Boston benefit. They kicked off their set with the Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents cover they recorded for Boston Does Boston Vol. 1 & 2 and never looked back. Magnificent.
Old Soldiers Of The Prairie War churned out a set of gritty Americana-tinged rock n’ roll at The Middle East.
Bow Thayer And Perfect Trainwreck’s modern Americana took the 2012 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble tiara* on Friday night. It was certainly no easy task. The band faced tough competition on all of their nights. Through it all they won over judges with well crafted songs and an astonishing display of musicianship, both individually and collectively. Swampy, dirty, twangy and heartfelt, these guys can flat out play.
Congratulations to Bow Thayer And Perfect Trainwreck!
* In reality the Rumble tiara is more of an actual crown now.
These guys have to be some of the best musicians in town. Heck, Jeff Berlin’s drum check before the set started would put a lot of drummers to shame. Individually and collectively, the guys from Bow Thayer and Perfect Trainwreck are playing at the top of their game right now. It’s impressive.
Bow Thayer and Perfect Trainwreck take Rumble Semifinal Night #1.
