Ajda and Tony from Black Fortress Of Opium stripped back the band’s work for a set at O’Brien’s. The gifted duo slipped into the alternate arrangements with ease, showcasing both the songs and performances.
Another cold night in Allston after a bit of snow. Sounds like the perfect time to hit up O’Brien’s for a wonderfully eclectic bill. The Wrong Shapes were first on the stage. I still can’t believe they make all of their beautiful, textured music with just two people. I love watching them create all of their layers.
Gondoliers. All of their songs are about happiness and birthdays, right? No?
Nice. Coming into the night, my only familiarity with Nervous was through the “Peppermints and Scotch” video. During their O’Brien’s set I got pummeled by everything I like about loud, noisy, ’90s-influenced indie rock. I’ll take it.
Birthday shenanigans continued at O’Brien’s with The Milling Gowns.
OK, that sounds a little weird, but The Milling Gowns’ compelling, darkness-cloaked post-punk fit right into the night’s festivities.

Pile closed out an Allston Pudding night at O’Brien’s with a punishing set. These guys are impressive.
Bunny’s A Swine play fizzy crunchy indie rock with hooks and teeth. This is what that looked like at their recent O’Brien’s show presented by Allston Pudding…
Fat Creeps are deft dealers of fuzzed out anti-bliss. I got to O’Brien’s just as they were kicking off a night presented by the folks over at Allston Pudding. The place was already packed. For good reason. Listening to Fat Creeps’ intertwining harmonies in a sweaty rock club was the perfect remedy to the bitter cold that had descended upon the city.
