Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
With a big voice, a big band and a big sound, we’ve come to expect big things from Ruby Rose Fox and her crew. A knockout performance at The Sinclair this past weekend shows they don’t intend to let us down.
Doomriders roared through their set at The Sinclair like a vicious V8 powered by the beautifully blackened souls of those assembled for this historic show. That’s what you’ve got to do when you’re opening for Slayer.
Rozamov brought the heavy, grinding sludge during their set opening for Slayer and Doomriders at The Sinclair. What a great way to get things going early.
Converse Rubber Tracks Live brought Dinosaur Jr. to The Sinclair with The Replacements and The Young Leaves. Unbelievable. The iconic trio did their part to make the evening memorable. They dug into old favorites, their fantastic new material and a few songs even people who don’t know who Dinosaur Jr. are would recognize. All songs were delivered at maximum volume for maximum impact. Did you expect anything less?
What’s up, Holliston? Looks like The Young Leaves and I share a hometown. The band’s big sound and dynamic presence easily make them the best band I’ve ever seen from the quaint New England suburb.* What’s not to like about loud, fast, roughed-up sonic blasts? Watching them open for The Replacements and Dinosaur Jr. made me happy.
* Downtown Holliston has a general store. Fiske’s. It’s a landmark. Also, this show is named after the town.
Jed Gottlieb over at the Herald nailed it when he wrote “Sidewalk Driver eliminate the psychic space between audience and band with self-deprecating humor, simple love songs and humility.” Through all of the off-beat anthems and confetti bombast, Sidewalk Driver prove the heart of a really great show is having fun and sharing that fun with the sold out crowd that packed The Sinclair to see if this show can be even better than the last. It can. It was. I love this band.
Conjuring up some magical blend of power and melody, The Organ Beats lit up the Sinclair stage with a vibrant sound.
And then there was Worshipper. There are stories from the time before they awoke. Hollow stories. Tales of emptiness and woe. No more! For having witnessed this glorious beast displaying its fiery plumage on stage at The Sinclair, I am here to tell you that the darkness comes. It wields a mighty riff and rides a thunderous groove. Prepare yourselves. It is wonderful.
An extraordinary night of music is getting underway with LeoLeo bringing their genre-blending sound The Sinclair stage.
Lake Street Dive closed out 2014 with a three night stint at The Sinclair. This particular frigid winter evening featured a homecoming theme. It was a fitting celebration for a band returning to the city where they formed after scoring big at this year’s Boston Music Awards.
