Oklahomans in Boston: Broncho & Low Litas at Great Scott, 9/17
by Tyler Burdwood BRONCHO and Low Litas played their Boston stop last week. A decent crowd turned out for a gig 1,500 miles away from their home-state of Oklahoma and without a local opener. Good thing. I like a two-band show––my ears get tired. Low Litas played a tight opening set. Their locked, straight-forward bass […]

Bent Shapes, Houseguests, Yeehaw!, and daphne played to a crowd of many friendly and familiar faces at TT the Bear’s in Cambridge. It felt like I was there […]
Jack White (9/17)
What might go down as a show known for an over the top rant, was also an epic rock show.
