*Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling Bonus Time!
OK. First, this not so great thing happened. Then some folks decided to make this really great thing happen. Here are some pictures of Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling being really great for Rosie’s Place…
PorchFest! What a beautiful day to head into Somerville and listen to bands play out-of-doors. Big Little One and I jumped in the car after his swimming lesson* to catch some songs from The Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library. We camped out on the sidewalk and enjoyed the ample sunshine and harmonies. As we walked away, Big Little One informed me that he had enjoyed himself.
“I like the way they sound. They sound the best.”
* There may have been a quick stop for a donut on the way.
Darling Pet Munkee invaded the Braintree Newbury Comics as part of Record Store Day 2013. With kids in tow, we braved the South Shore Plaza so Little Little One could dance and Big Little One could cluck like an Arrested Development character trying to be a chicken. It was well worth it.
Tonight’s show was advertised as having a vaudeville bent, so seeing an oboe and viola up on stage with Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling doesn’t seem that strange. Then again, their performance was preceded by ukulele confessions, gut-wrenching music-as-therapy, a “ventriloquist”, burlesque and Tad McKitterick. My sense of normal might be a bit off right now.
Sophia Cacciola provided a song about monkeys on the ukulele. Porcelain Dalya and Maggie Maraschino provided some burlesque. Vaudeville night at Precinct lived up to its billing.
Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling are an exposed nerve. All of that breath and fuzz goes straight to your head.
Darling Pet Munkee released their new EP, You Better Believe It!, on Halloween. That seems appropriate, doesn’t it? The band celebrated with a show at Brighton Music Hall that showcased their comic-book-ad-inspired-sonic-freakout sound. My only complaint? They should have turned up Bonesy Darling’s backing vocals.
For Radio’s One Year Anniversary Party, Michael J. Epstein and Sophia Cacciola gave the early crowd a crash course in their varied musical ventures. We were treated to stripped down versions of songs that originated with The Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library, Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, The Motion Sick, Darling Pet Munkee and probably a few others that I’m forgetting. We even got to hear the stories behind some of the songs, despite being promised otherwise. Fun stuff.
