Sitting on the outside patio of a country-western themed bar across the street from historic Fenway Park, a loud commotion appeared to be happening in the middle of Lansdowne Street. Typically a place for people to grab a sausage, and if you’re lucky, a batting practice home run flying over the Green Monster, there would…
Tonight 7/16- One Night Only – Billy Joel @ FenwayPark – 7:30pm – Not a typical recommendation and I’ll be the worst to admit “Uptown Girl” is one of the worst songs of all time. But I’ve never seen him live before, I’ve never seen a concert at Fenway, and I’m in the mood for…
After speaking with Beef Wellington last night, we’ve decided that getting drunk is a piss poor excuse to not write anything. So in the spirit of professionalism and alcoholism, these thoughts are provided to you by our sponsors at $12 bottle of rum at our local liquor store. Why rum you may ask? Because it’s…
Is this what happened to the Dinosaurs? Not the ones in Jurassic World, but the ones who buried themselves in a never-ending Hoarders episode where their Vinyl collection took up so much space at home that they suffocated under fallen piles of flat discs enclosed in cardboard. It’s not easy to change formats, even if…
I’ve been away from my computer as I’ve been traveling across the country and I don’t know how to write on a phone because I’m too old and my fingers are too fat. BUT I was able to listen to music on the way as I drove past cows, cows, and more cows. Seriously. Avoid…
Seeing this band live last month was a pretty good preview for what this album was going to sound like. It’s bigger, darker, and moodier than their debut My Head is an Animal. Also, they stopped talking about the woods so much. I loved the catchy indie-folk-pop sound of their first album, but it did…
Almost time to leave Boston behind for the colder pastures (lakes?) of Minnesota. I’m not sure how much live music I will get to see there unless Bob Dylan does some sort of hometown throwdown type of thing. Still I’m sure I’ll troll the shadiest parts of Duluth looking for music (and booze (and anonymous sex)…
What’s the only thing weirder about a hardcore band from LA calling themselves The Bronx? The fact that they double as a mariachi band called Mariachi El Bronx of course. Their alter ego opened this night of weird but great music to an even stranger crowd: age range from 2 years old to 80, old…
Friday – 6/19 Flogging Molly and Gogol Bordello @ Blue Hills Bank Pavilion – 7PM – If you think punk is boring try mixing it with traditional Irish or Gypsy Music and see where that takes you. I’ve seen Flogging Molly live before and they are amazing and I hear everyone should go see…
Dawes is a hard band to pin down. Sometimes I love listening to them and sometimes they put me right to sleep. They also seem to be a hard one for a larger audience to fully embrace, with part of their sound displaying strong influences of 60s and 70s rock, while also leaning heavily…
