The Field Effect, The Susan Constant (The Middle East Downstairs 8/23)
By Adam Parshall Photos by Adam Parshall All of us involved with the show at Middle East Down in Central Square on August 23 would like to apologize to the world of social media for the amount of posting/ reblogging/hashtagging/promoting/all-around overkill that we partook in during the weeks leading up to the gig…except no, store […]
Baroness and Royal Thunder (Royale 8/11/13)

By Ellie Molitor Photos by Ellie Molitor Paul McCartney blew up the stage with a display of fireworks and pyrotechnics as he ascended to the chorus of ‘Live and Let Die,’ the second-to-last tune before his encore. The whole arrangement was beautiful – an unbelievable way to cap off a nearly three hour set from […]
Brenda (Great Scott 7/31)
By Courtney Swain Photos by Courtney Swain September marks the end of my fifth year in Boston, and after some change of pace in my life this spring, I have been looking to try something new. As a musician myself I wanted to dig deeper into the local scene, and so here I am in […]
