Boston Concert Picks: 6/26 – 6/28

Posted in Music

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) ) Does Duluth, MN have shady parts? Well, we will see. But first, what else is worth seeing live in Massachusetts?

Friday 6/26

The Weepies @ The Wilbur Theatre – The married (ew) indie-folk-pop duo hits Boston Friday night. Despite the cool looking clay motion above man this is some sad stuff. I’m crying

Tigers Jaw @ Centers for the Arts at the Armory, Somerville – I don’t know, maybe I’m just going to miss this place but I’m feeling a little emo this week. I’m balling now.

Flock of Assholes @ Rock On Concert Cruise – Normally I wouldn’t recommend an ’80s cover band floating around Boston Harbor but when you have a great name you can win me over pretty easy.

Saturday 6/27

The Melvins @ The Paradise Rock Club – Somewhere between punk, Metallica, and Nirvana their sound lies. That should tell you just about nothing. But screw it, If I’m being honest I never really got into this band too much, I’m just impressed they are still playing shows.

The Damnwells, Gasoline Heart, and The Cringe @ Brighton Music Hall – A lot of people are fans of the indie band The Damnwells but I hope I’m able to go to see Gasoline Heart. I’ve been a big fan of them since their debut You Know Who You Are. Just some great straight-forward Springsteen-esque rock . Check out “Move Along”, “Meet me In Georgia”, or “Paralyze“. If you like that album there’s at least 2 1/2 more albums worth listening to.
