Band In Boston

Former Officer May frontman and current Viva Viva co-frontman Chris Warren threw together a band at the last minute to stop by and work out some tunes. And work them out they did. They’ll be playing on Friday, May 9 at PA’s for our big benefit show. They’re on first – get there right at 8 and you won’t be kicking yourself later!

Song List:

* Total Eclipse of You

* First Time I Saw Her

* Memory’s a Funny Thing

* At Least a Little Piece of Me

* Where We Are All Going

* Let Me Down

* You’re One in a Million

* Shoes

* How You Feel Today

PS – Thanks to everyone who pointed out my stupidity for putting Total Eclipse on twice. It’s now fixed so you can hear One in a Million.

Short show this week – only a few good shows. Or maybe everything pales in comparison to what we got lined up for you on Friday. So, to hell with modesty, we’re mostly just pimping our own show. Featuring Ladyhawk, Sound of Urchin, Drug Rug, Carter Tanton, Marc Pinansky, George Lewis Jr., The Tony the Bookie Orchestra, Chris Warren, The Double Stops, and Mako. See you Friday!

The Everyday Visuals are smack dab in the middle of an incredible lineup tongiht at the Middle East – it’s them, Cassavettes, Magic Magic, and Girls Guns and Glory for GGG’s CD release show!

Sorry for the lack of an intro or photo/video – we’re rushing to get this kickass session up!

In our first attempt to post video, Kid:Nap:Kin showed us their quiet side. Who knew!? Their CD release party is this Thursday at TT’s.

Wow, episode 100. That’s a lot.

OK, enough fanfare.

The Half Nelsons came in about a year ago, totally rocked the mini-kit, and promptly broke up mere weeks later. So here’s a posthumous release to let you know what you missed. I’m sure we’ll be hearing some great new projects from these talented chaps. Also, their pure rockitude resulted in a warp of the time-space continuum, pictured above.

Audrey does more for Boston music than just about any other musician out there. She came in with James Borchers and showed us what she’s got.

Song List:

* Make Dead

* Nostalgia

* Get Down and Die

* People

* No Difference

* Holden

Robbie Catholic, AKA The Fanged Robot, really knows his way around a guitar.  He’s playing as part of These United States this Tuesday at PA’s Lounge. Be sure to buy whatever solo CDs he might have – this is why.

Song List:

* Sunday Song (Paleo cover)

* El Chupacabra

* The Shape I’m In

* Kickin’ Knee High

* Electricity in the Mountains

* 100 Creatures

Every once in a while, we have a band in that makes me want to greatly expand my limited knowledge of recording and mixing. Aberdeen City is just that kind of band. I tried some new techniques out, and dammit, I think it worked out well. It always helps when you have an awesome bunch of songs to start with. They play tonight at the Middle East!

Song List:

* Whose Blood is It?

* Thousands and Thousands

* Pretty Pet

* Mercy

No realy meaning to the title this week. Just been a good few days. So it was that or mention this godforsaken weather. Yeah, let’s not do that. Featuring The Self Righteous Brothers, Albumen, Murder by Death, The Spanish Armada, New Radiant Storm King, These United States, The Duke Spirit, and Hymns.

Ever wonder why we’ve been a bit sporadic with the shows lately? Now you get to find out why! Lots of great tunes this week. Featuring Blitzen Trapper, Fleet Foxes, Glorytellers, Girls Guns and Glory, Teenage Prayers, Wussy, Faces on Film, The Beau Roland Band, Tulsa, Antiques, Gunfight, Tracy Morrow and the Magi Chippie, Beach House, Howlin’ Rain, and Papercuts.
