Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
One Night Band! One of my favorite nights of the year. The 4th installment of this event kicked off with a tight and enthusiastic performance from Zumix band The Mosquitoes In Tuxedos. Did we just meet some future One Night Band participants? Don’t count it out.
One Night Band 4 is tonight! That means we’ve got 8 brand new bands scattered around the city writing songs and learning covers for the big show. Once again I was lucky enough to get to shoot the official photos for a few of the acts.* This year we got some classic brick wall action going. Here’s a sneak peek at some of what you’ll see tonight at the Middle East Downstairs!
Big Head Big Ears
Candace Clement, Rice Edmonston, Nicholas Ward, Peter Moore, Aaron Silverstein
Grandfather Time Bomb
Walter Sickert, Jared Egan, Caroline Toth, Evelyn Pope, Annie Hoffman
Lesbian Frankenstein
Molly Zenobia, Steven Lord, Dave Stoops, Bryan Hinkley
* Mary Flatley took the rest. I’m sure they’ll pop up soon. Keep an eye out.
Tomorrow night is One Night Band 4 at the Middle East Downstairs. You should go. Why? Because it’s going to be one of the most fun shows of the year!* In the morning, 40 musicians from bands around town will be thrown into the Cuisinart of Rock.** In the evening, they’ll come come out puréed and garnished with 3 original tunes and a cover for your listening enjoyment. Sometimes it’s amazing. Sometimes it’s a disaster. Sometimes it starts off amazing and ends with a disaster. Any way these fresh baked bands serve it up, it’s always entertaining.
Need some more incentive? Like past years, the money raised from this event goes to some great causes. This year it’s Zumix and Girls Rock Campaign Boston on the receiving end, helping to prepare the next generation of One Night Band participants.
I’ll leave you with a few shots from last year’s event. Try to make it down. It’s a good time.
* OK, there’s no way I can know this for sure. Based on past years, I believe this statement to be true. I regretfully missed the inaugural event, but One Night Band 2 and One Night Band 3 were a blast.
