A Preamble Through The History and Stage Show of Irish Alt-Poppers Pugwash (T.T. The Bear’s 10/7)
I’m going to tell you about it because it was an amazing show. But also, full disclosure, I’m pretty obsessed with this band.

Converse Brings Color Channel & Ra Ra Riot/Dancing to Sinclair (9/24)
By Nick Canton Converse Rubber Tracks put on another of their monthly(ish) free shows at the Sinclair. This time it was locals Color Channel and world-wides Ra Ra Riot. Color Channel is a bunch of people and even more percussion instruments. Their sound is a spacey, synth-inspired, dreamy and washy discoish trip, very reminiscent of […]
Dylan Ewen, Gymshorts, & Free Pizza Shake Lilypad/Get Noise Complaints (Lilypad 8/29)
By Nick Canton Boston Hassle put on a punk rock show at The Lilypad in Inman Square last Friday night. While things didn’t get started until 10:30, the small club (which has no stage, only an area where the ceiling was slightly lower stacked with speakers) quickly filled up with loyal fans. Dylan Ewen and […]
Hot Tears & Malportado Kids Throw a House Party (8/20, Allston)
By Nick Canton Last Wednesday there was a house show featuring a lot of talent from around the country. It was a super early show and, unfortunately, I was only able to catch the second half of it. I arrived in the middle Tomboy‘s set, unable to see them around the basement set-up, but totally […]
WERS Celebrates With Air Traffic Controller, Parks, & Friends (Sinclair 6/27)
By Nick Canton Photos by Rebecca Hildreth WERS, Emerson College’s awesome student-run radio station, celebrated its 65th birthday last Friday at the Sinclair by having some great (and not) Boston bands, who’ve been on their station a bit, come out and play them a show. They gave out free bladder canteens! Bentshapesbentshapesbentshapes, I probably don’t […]
Yale, MA, Kittyhawk, and Friends DIY’d It (The Shame Cube 6/11)
There was a full bill set to play at Roggie’s in Cleveland Circle last Wednesday night. If you’ve been paying attention to Boston gossip, you won’t be surprised to hear that it didn’t happen…
Sleepy Kitty Wake Up Cambridge on Sunday Night (6/8 T. T. The Bear’s)
By Nick Canton Power duo Sleepy Kitty, hailing from “St. Louis via Chicago” according to their Facebook, are touring the United States and Canada and were kind enough to play a set at T. T. The Bear’s Place this past Sunday. Right off the bat, their setup was pretty unfamiliar: recently I’ve seen a lot […]
Pandora Presents Delta Spirit at Middle East Down (5/27)
By Nick Canton Photos by Graham Zinger Cambridge has been getting a whole lot of corporate-sponsored-free-concert-love and I couldn’t be happier. This one wasn’t put on by a shoe company as we’ve come to expect, instead sponsored by Pandora Presents. It was smaller in scale from House of Vans’s week-long and tons-of-bands residency, but like […]
In Defense of…The Worst Music
By Nick Canton We’ve had these features on the blog called “In Defense of…” where we stand up for something music-related that we feel needs it. In the past it’s been a band, or an audience opinion, or an unpopular feature at concerts. But I just discovered that Wikipedia has an article titled “List of […]
