I have a music confession to make. In honor of my first contribution to Allston Pudding, viagra 100mg I’m going to divulge my source for all things under the indie-rock radar: Australian radio station Triple J. Rewind back to last October in New York City. Industry insiders were all abuzz about San Cisco, capsule the […]
When Kishi Bashi’s mid-February show at The Sinclair was cancelled in the wake of the dreaded snow storm Nemo, pharm a chorus of sighs erupted across the greater Boston area that was likely audible from the International Space Station. Buried under twenty-nine inches of snow were the effervescent violin and electronic melodies, prescription the operatic […]
The day of the Lucy Rose, Ariel and the Undertow, and Chris North show had, of course, the worst weather I’d ever experienced since I’ve been in Boston. It was raining, or snowing, or sleeting, or something. I hesitated a bit, but decided that a bit of rain shouldn’t stop me. So I got myself over to the Middle East around 7 pm, just when the doors…
It could have easily been just another late-winter Tuesday night—the streets sloshy and cold, cars buzzing down Comm Ave. in a hive-like drone—but within the walls of Great Scott, a dreamy dance party was brewing. Javelin, a rainbow-colored electronic duo…
Thank God for British exports. And by British exports I mean the brothers of Disclosure. The siblings Guy and Howard Lawrence performed in Boston for the first time March 18th. Disregard the fact that the location is technically in Cambridge (Sinclair); Boston’s going to go ahead and take this one. The boys claimed to feel […]
Sitting at the bar in Great Scott at Saturday night all I could hear around me was the sound of everyone talking about how excited they were to see Tim Kasher. I was there to see Sinnet and I thought it strange that everyone would be so excited about the opener. It wasn’t till I […]
It’s 9pm on 3/11, the second night of the Old 97’s two-night engagement at The Sinclair. The crowd—not sold-out, as it was the night before, but still sizable and enthusiastic—is massing expectantly at the front, the roadies have finished prepping the stage, and the headliners, the legendary Old 97’s, who celebrate their 20th birthday this year, […]
Last Monday night, an eclectic crowd of Bostonians gathered at Paradise to see Night Moves and Django Django perform. Although it wasn’t a sold-out show, the venue was filled with a diverse gathering of fans…
Marissa Nadler‘s set at 826 Boston this last Friday was short but hauntingly beautiful (like one of those little spinning ballerina things your Mom had in her room as a kid). Her two song set was at the tail end of an evening of literary entertainment put together by McSweeney’s and The Rumpus as a […]
My co-worker urged me to take the time to listen to Vintage Trouble, a soul jive band that had recently opened for a Joss Stone concert that she went to. “Listen to this band. You’ll love it. They are playing TT the Bear’s in three weeks – come with us!” Two thoughts went through my […]
