Who’s playing this week. We listen to almost every band playing and pick our favorites. Hopefully you agree.
Stripped-down semi-acoustic performances from some of the best bands from Boston and beyond.
Live and in the wild. Hear bands the way they were supposed to be heard. Loud, live, and in person.
We jam a solid week and a half worth of upcoming shows into this one. Featuring The Duke Spirit, Pants Yell!, The Faintest Ideas, Viking Moses, Apollo Sunshine, Viva Viva, Stephen Brodsky, Doomstar, Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down, Port O’Brien, Emeen Z, You Can Be A Wesley, The Toothaches, Wonderful Spells, Audrey Ryan, Little Trooper, and Ghosty.
You’d be forgiven for thinking The Blank Tapes were a band. Really, it’s just Matt Adams, multi-instrumentalist and incredible songwriter. When he plays live, he usually brings along friends, but the albums are all Matt. And all brilliant. He stopped by during a solo tour, but we got him to accompany himself through the magic of overdubs.
Song List:
We’re back from our longest-ever break. Nice to be back. We’ve been busy. It was Andy’s birthday. Oh, and we got married. Oh yeah, and Jen got a new kidney. No, seriously.
We are so psyched, and happy as all git-out to be back in the e-air! Featuring Pretty and Nice, Deer Tick, Sodafrog, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Hello Shark, Land Mammal, Ealimart, Akudama, and Ryan Lee Crosby.
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:
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!
You are really going to want to be at PA’s this Friday. We have an awesome show lined up. To be honest, we didn’t even do much of the work.
You regular listeners heard Jen’s announcement that she needs a kidney. We kept it under wraps for over a year because we didn’t want to bum you out about it, but we figure it’s important to get the word out about organ donation, since it can help so many people.
When we did finally break the news, Township’s Marc Pinansky put this whole thing together. Because he’s awesome.
So whether you’re there to support a good cause (the money will be going to the Kidney Transplant/Dialysis Association - for patients in financial need), or just some great music, BE AT PA’s ON FRIDAY!!!
Tell me this doesn’t get you pumped:
Drug Rug
Carter Tanton (of Tulsa!)
The Tony the Bookie Orchestra
Marc Pinansky (of Township!)
George Lewis Jr.
Chris Warren (of Viva Viva!)
Robert Rivera
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.
