In this exciting episode of Twin Berlin At The Middle East, we find the band rocking out and frolicking in their skivvies. If you think you’ve seen this one before, wait until they do the Dizzy Piggyback* while sounding like the rambunctious spawn of Dinosaur Jr. and The Pixies.

Western Education released their new album, Let Your Secrets Out, at The Middle East Downstairs this past Saturday. Their New Wave vibe and riff outbursts went over well with the folks that made it to the club on the official 4th of July cookout rain date.
Barricades helped Western Education celebrate their record release at The Middle East Downstairs with a set of accessible, genre-blending tunes.
When I caught The Susan Constant at TT’s a couple of weeks ago, I was impressed by the new songs they’re working on. While that’s still the case, their show at The Middle East Downstairs this past weekend reminded me that “Midwestern You” is a great set closer.
What’s the proper way to usher your new album into the world? Well, Aloud celebrated the release of It’s Got To Be Now with a 19 song blowout of a set at a packed Middle East Upstairs. That seemed to work out pretty well.
The Field Effect are working on a new album. If the songs they played at The Middle East this past Friday are any indication, it’s going to be a goodie. If they’re not an indication, then expect a record of sweet Anne Murray covers.
The Bynars are creating some of the most inventive electro-tinged power pop out there. Each undeniable hook is balanced with a well-timed glitch to keep you on your toes. They were at The Middle East Upstairs this past Friday night.
Where ya been, Parlour Bells? Haven’t seen you around much lately. Oh, you’ve been writing some new tunes like “Celebrities On Ice?” In that case, take as much time as you need.
It’s good to have you back, though…
D-Tension’s Secret Project was recently unveiled at The Middle East Downstairs. Backed by the tight and versatile Secret Project Band, D-Tension hosted a slew of talented collaborators to perform the electro-pop hits of the companion album. Cool idea. Well executed. Fun night.
Do you want inspiration? Do you want joy? Do you want music made with the best intentions gone wonderfully, horribly awry?
