Gorillaz have been pulling out all of the stops for the tour of their latest album, ‘The Now Now.’ Rolling into Boston there were high expectations after the group delivered a stacked show in NYC the night before.
Last Thursday night, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators played the House of Blues in Boston as part of their “Living the Dream” tour.
Boston was buzzing last Wednesday as the Red Sox defeated the Yankees, and White Denim played an out of the park performance at Brighton Music Hall with New York jazz-fusion trio, Rotem.
Last Friday, The Frights played an early show at Royale with Epitaph label-mates HUNNY and San Francisco five-piece Hot Flash Heat Wave.
Bully and Honey Cutt put on a truly memorable gig at the Sinclair.
Last Friday, FIDLAR made their return to Paradise Rock Club with Canadian openers Dilly Dally and NOBRO.
Last Sunday, Summer Salt played a sweltering hot and tightly packed Great Scott with first time Boston performers Hot Flash Heat Wave and returning Chicago rockers The Symposium.
On Sunday night, King Tuff played Brighton Music Hall with Cut Worms and Sasami Ashworth in support of their latest record, The Other. Overall, the band played mostly new material, but ended the night with a three song encore of old material including “Eyes of the Muse,” “Sun Medallion,” and “Bad Thing.”
Last Wednesday, The Black Lips returned to Boston to open for The Black Angels at Royale Boston, playing a different but equally entertaining show as last May’s wild performance with Surfbort at Brighton Music Hall.
Last Saturday, Anamanaguchi and Meesh played night two of Game Over, a social gaming event put on by Game Over Entertainment, at the Boston Center for the Arts. Flickering screens from the dozens of arcade games helped set the playful and colorful atmosphere, furthered by the band’s glowing neon lights, flashing visuals, and cascade of balloons during “Pop It,” making it a unique and thrilling show for the crowd of nerds, gamers, and music lovers.
