You probably know the voices behind this interesting cover album with the pretty bizarre name. The title comes from the Talking Heads’ song that they re-created to lead off this batch of songs so they can’t take full credit for that. What Beam can take credit for is his ever changing musical project (but not…
It’s been about a month since I started my EBE sabbatical/road trip/bender and I’ve finally sobered up enough to get back to work. It may not always be pretty but gosh darnnit I’ve got myself a lot to say again. Disclaimer, I haven’t actually sobered up and most of this will be drunken, unintelligible…
Wednesday the 19th: Social Distortion and Lucero @ Festival Pier Festival Pier is what it is and there’s probably going to be about a thousand people there and it’s going to be a total shit show. But when is the next time you’ll be able to see Social Distortion and Lucero in the same…
Thursday the 6th: Banditos @ Bourbon and Branch I was lucky enough to share the stage with these guys awhile back and they fucking kill it. They’ve got a great down and dirty roots rock thing going on. They sound a little bite like Futurebirds but dirtier. Thursday the 6th: J. Roddy Walston & The…
I’ll shoot it straight with you guys. Here at EBE we get contacted fairly regularly from bands, managers or promoters trying get us to push a new single or an upcoming gig. Through a combination of laziness and the fact that most of it just isn’t that good we ignore the majority of these inquiries….
Wednesday the 29th: Jason Isbell @ The Electric Factory Former member of the Drive-By Truckers and a power house in his own right, Jason Isbell has become somewhat of a alt-country heavy weight. Also Black Mills is opening for him… I hadn’t heard of this dude until recently but he’s fucking amazing…. Friday the 31st: St. James…
It’s not every Thursday that I sit on the grass of Boston Common and watch Greek Dancers. Actually, it’s not any day. Ever. And to be honest I wasn’t even sure they were Greek. There was live music playing that I could only describe as “international” and there were costumed dancers, that much I was…
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…
Thursday the 16th: Neil Young and Band of Horses @ Susquehanna Bank Center Neil Young & Promises of the Real and Band of Horses. The chances seem pretty good that he’ll be doing some sort of weird ultra political shit but fuck it…. it’s Neil Young. I’ll be there will you? Friday the 17th: Ruby…
