Have you ever heard of a little show house called The Womb? Well if you haven’t it was home to some of the best basement shows for the past few years Allston had ever seen. Sadly, the days of stumbling down the basement stairs, tracing your fingers along the naked ladies plastered on the walls to lead you down to the disco-ball-lit-floor are done. Even if the new owners reprise the house’s role, they’ll have some super-sized shoes to fill.

And yet, the basement boys are still around and some of them are taking over the House of Blues Foundation Room this Friday September 11, 2015. Alex Judd, lead singer of Brazil (and one of the nicest people you will ever meet), used to live at The Womb where he frequently hosted bands like Vundabar, Dent, and Palm Spring Life.  Brazil is bringing their experimental indie rock and folky interludes to The House of Blues Foundation Room, check out their song, “Machine” with techno keyboard and layered jangly guitar riffs sure to get anyone nodding their head along to the beat. Honeysuckle will be bringing some downright folky Americana to the show on Friday, with Holly McGarry’s soulful voice carrying over delicate banjo-laced ballads. Check out, “Josephine” for some heart-wrenching lyrics and again, some killer banjo. Mark Gilday Jr. is like a more country Conor Oberst but way way less depressing. Check out “Tiger’s Grin” for his take on lyric-heavy, storytelling songwriting, and catch him tomorrow night opening for Brazil and Honeysuckle.

Unlike many other show houses, The Womb didn’t enforce a strict $5 cover, they were just nice kids who wanted to share music and give their friends in small bands a venue and a crowd to play to. But if you do have an extra $5 to spare tomorrow night, support your local scene and head over to The Foundation Room.
