Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
The Girls Rock Campaign Boston fundraiser at O’Brien’s ended with a fiery Rage Against The Machine tribute set.
Solo Sexx used their infectious energy to channel Salt-N-Pepa for the Girls Rock Campaign Boston fundraiser at O’Brien’s. They even added a few songs of their own for good measure.
Tackling the works of Ronnie James Dio should not be taken lightly. AjDIO is clearly invested in doing the legend justice. Ajda the Turkish Queen’s vocals were front and center, but it was her uncanny knack for RJD’s mannerisms that turned the set into performance art. The band was locked in. The guitar tones were spot on. On top of that, the whole night was put together to raise money for Girls Rock Campaign Boston. What’s not to love here?
A few years ago I saw Neon Angel do a set as The Runaways at Radio. This year, the Girls Rock Campaign Boston fundraiser at O’Brien’s brought back a couple of familiar faces for more Runaways fun. Queens Of Noise ripped it up.
Three passionate Girls Rock Campaign Boston supporters kicked off a night of Halloween merriment at O’Brien’s with a set of songs by ’90s indie pop band Cub.
Nate Leavitt sings songs about heartbreak and lost love. Thankfully, he does it in a way that makes you want to listen and actually feel pretty good. It’s a gift.
Ruby Rose Fox and her band made a big and soulful noise at O’Brien’s last weekend.
Watching an Airport show makes me feel like Benny from the Lego Movie. Just substitute “Airport!” for “Spaceship!” These guys draw from an endless well of perfectly crafted songs about modern life filtered through a ’70s AM Radio transmission.
I’ve seen Magen Tracy perform with Parlour Bells, Nate Leavitt, OldJack, St. Helena, Brendan Boogie, The Phil Aiken Army, The Sheila Divine and Bright Lights, Big Rod.* Friday night was the first time I had the pleasure of seeing her perform her own songs. Accompanied by Nate Leavitt on guitar or alone with her piano, Magen delivered powerful vocals, dynamic melodies and mature arrangements. I like where this is headed.
* Oh, man. I just got all nostalgic for the MixTape shows.
There was a typical early show bustle at O’Brien’s as Dan Nicklin strummed his first few chords. A moment later the crowd would be silent. Dan’s voice commanded and received the undivided attention of the crowd from the moment he began to sing.
