The Susan Constant closed out Night #1 of The Daykamp Poster & Photo Show. This band is all heart. Oh, and songs. Heart and songs. This band is all heart and songs.
Eddie Japan @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 10.10.2013
We were honored to have this year’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble winners Eddie Japan as part of The Daykamp Poster & Photo show. This group can entertain like nobody’s business. It’s a pleasure to watch them effortlessly create unique, cohesive songs from their diverse sonic palette.
Parlour Bells @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 10.10.2013
Parlour Bells dazzled the crowd at The Daykamp Poster & Photo Show with their always entertaining mix of glam and grit.
Gymnasium @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 10.10.2013
Need proof that you can be a killer rock ‘n’ roll band while playing more that four chords? Look no further than Gymnasium. This crew made their elaborate arrangements sound downright urgent at The Daykamp Poster & Photo Show. Oh, and Melissa’s “Do It For Johnny” shirt was a nice touch.
Donkeypunch Junior @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 10.10.2013
Davina Yannetty and Phil Wisdom (Butterknife) have performed together before. We’ve also seen Davina jump up on stage with Dave Mirabella and fill in with his band (The Rationales). So when we were putting together The Daykamp Poster & Photo Show at TT’s, we came up with the crazy idea to cram these three friends together into a singularity* of harmonic songcraft. It worked! Donkeypunch Junior was born. It was cool to hear these musicians interpret each other’s songs with this ad hoc trio. They even busted out some Traveling Wilburys. What a great way to start a night.

Announcing The Daykamp Poster & Photo Shows!
We’re putting on a a couple of shows with rock bands, photos and posters at TT’s in October! It’s going to be more awesome than we can put into words. That’s why we had Richard Bouchard do it for us! Here’s a special guest post from the Indie Rock Ranger with the details…
When I was first hired to do booking at TT the Bear’s Place, one of the first things I wanted to do was set up a show with Nicole and Johnny Anguish of Daykamp Creative and Daykamp Music, respectively. I’ve been hiring Nicole to create show posters since back in the Boston Band Crush days, usually giving her no guidance other than the list of bands and the date of the show. She always delivers an incredibly eye-catching, colorful design that doesn’t just provide information; it’s something I want to hang on my wall forever. Then there’s Johnny, always front and center for a rock show before posting amazing photo recaps on his Daykamp Music website. They tirelessly support the music community here, and knowing that I wasn’t the only one to feel that way, I felt that it was high time they present a show. Not just any show, mind you, I wanted them to pick the bands – artists they’ve worked with over the years and bands they’re longtime fans of – but I also wanted to display their work in the club for everyone to see. After some brief discussion, Nicole emailed me back: “We’re thinking we need to do two nights…”
