This year we get to kick off the month with the upbeat pop folk band Amy & the Engine headlining their first Boston show at Church on April 2 along with Grey Season and Providence-based The Silks.
We got to talk to Lia Ices about her new album, her psychic twin brother, and her love of Pink Floyd
Win tickets to see Wampire, TOPS (Montreal favs), Coke Weed (local favs), and LA Jeff play Church on 10/16! And watch a vid from TOPS featuring Mac Demarco’s balls (aww ye)
Not only are we co-presenting this show, we’re also giving away a pair of tickets to see Vundabar, Sneeze, Kid Mountain, Coke Weed, High Pop, and Cult Fluorescent at Church (9/21)
by Tyler Burdwood Illegally Blind put on a great show last week and we want you to know about it. Gymshorts, winning most-punk and most-jumping, played a fluid opening set. Their fast songs were interrupted by the occasional slow-motion breakdown, which saw Sarah Greenwell switching from shriek to guttural growl. Sharp, surfy guitar leads rang […]
by Tyler Burdwood As Plantas Que Curam by Boogarins Guess. What. Boogarins will be at the Church of Boston this Thursday night. They’re touring from Goiânia, Brazil on the strength of their Burger Records/Other Music debut, As Plantas Que Curam (translated: “Plants that Heal”). The album was primarily recorded when Boogarins were just a duo […]

Anyone that didn’t go to Church on Thursday missed out on a wild experience, and I’m not talking about a religious awakening. Boston Hassle and Illegally Blind presented Ed Schrader’s Music Beat, who brought their unquestionable energy and finesse to the night.
Big Black Delta is the one-man electro-pop outfit of Jonathan Bates. Bates, formerly of LA band Mellowdrone, was also once a Boston guy too. Having lived in Brighton and studied at Berklee, the bassist worked his way out to the West Coast and more recently began recording music as a solo act. This year, he released his eponymous full-length to favorable reviews, and now he will be making a stop at Church of Boston on Thursday with Superhumanoids…
Chicago’s whysowhite aren’t the type of band that we typically write about on Allston Pudding, but then again, there’s nothing really typical about them at all.
