Band In Boston

Caitlin’s playing tonight at the Abbey Lounge. She was kind enough to deal with the neverending dog-onslaught in our living room and record some of the most beautiful songs you’ll hear today.

Song List:

* Tough as You

* Radio

* Alaska

* A Gun

* Not About You

* Give In

* Green Hills

Here we are with our first BiB since switching hosting companies. Hope you like the new look!

This week features Caitlin Frame, Kahoots, Apple Betty, The Singles, and exclusive new demo from Tulsa, Ra Ra Riot, a live track from The Teenage Prayers, Girls Guns and Glory, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Chin Up Chin Up, The Wonderful Spells, Mahogany, Relay, and the In/Out.

As you can see, it was hard enough fitting these guys into one room, let along the photo. Or even the 8 tracks we have available. But by some sort of divine intervention, it worked out. And you will love it. Kinda trippy, kinda country-fried, kinda one of my favorite bands right now.

We were going to hold off on putting this out til their next show, but by popular demand, here it is!

Song List:

* Codeine

* Note to Garland

* The Third One Tried

* Waking

* Holy Shit, I Got the Blues

* S.F.P.

* View Into Wall Scars

* Chinatown

See? And you thought nothing hilarious ever happened in Boston. This week, we’ve got the great Ultimate Residency at PA’s Lounge, as well as plenty of other great music.

Stay warm, ya hear?

If you’ve ever heard Keys before, well, prepare to pass out. They took “stripped-down” to a whole new level. And you’re the lucky witness. They also do a pretty kickass cover of our favorite Hands and Knees song.
