AC Slater Releases New Album, Playing Middlesex Tonight

My friends and I celebrated the release of AC Slater’s Jack Got Jacked EP Friday night at Otherside Cafe. We drank several pitchers and ate an overpriced basket of chips. Red Foxx who is part of Palms Out (they released the EP) and one third of Hearthrob showed up for the celebration and ate a […]

Monday and Tuesday Are For Partying

Monday and Tuesday are going to be tiring. Monday is MSTRKRFT with LA Riots, Felix Cartal, and Congo Rock at the Estate. Tickets are $20, which is pretty steep but it might be a necessary $20 to part with. Buy tickets.
Then on Tuesday AC Slater and B Rich join Hearthrob at Middlesex. As usual, cover […]

Spendin Days **Updated with Video**

During undergrad one of my roommates used to always convince me to go surfing before classes with him. We would get up at first light, forget to anticipate that his Jeep’s doors would be frozen shut and then stand in the cold for too long while he stabed at the ice with his keys. Eventually […]

Fleet Foxes Love To Disappoint (Live @ the Somerville Theater, 10.6.08)

Monday October 6th, 7:00pm:
I walked into Somerville Theater wanting the Fleet Foxes show to be bad. There were various reasons, most notably the cold Monday October night I had just walked out of. Frank Fairfield opened the show with a short set that, while having potential for country-folk goodness, lost its way to me […]

Addendum: Yeasayer Will Play Paradise October 22nd

Yesterday I reported that Yeasayer and Chairlift had canceled their October 22nd performance at Paradise. This is not the case. Yeasayer will still play at the Paradise on October 22nd. However, Chairlift will not be at the show. Suckers will replace Chairlift as opener for Yeasayer.
I apologize for the confusion and wanted to make the […]

Choose or Lose: Why Was I at a Locksley Concert?

I was instantly skeptical of what I had gotten myself into Monday night at Cafe 939. Girls, and lots of them. Not just any kind of girls, but teenage girls filled 939. Only a sparse few men were in attendance and more than one was a father most likely accompanying his daughter to the show. […]

**Updated** Chairlift Cancel October 22nd Paradise Show (Another Reason Paradise Worse Off Now)

**Updated**
I misreported that Yeasayer has canceled their performance - they have not. Chairlift will not be opening for Yeasayer, but Yeasayer will still perform October 22nd at the Paradise.
Yeasayer and Chairlift have canceled their upcoming show at Paradise. The band was scheduled to play on October 22nd, but will forfeit their scheduled stop in Boston […]

Baltimore Round Robin (Feet Night) @ Mass Art, 10.03.08

The first Feet night of Dan Deacon’s Baltimore Round Robin brain child was Friday night at Mass Art’s Pozin Gymnasium.
Before expounding on how the entire affair went down, one must understand how the concert was set up. As promoted, bands set up in an almost complete circle around the gym. Since the space was inadequate […]

TK Webb To Tour With The Secret Machines

I was all set and to write a very brief paragraph about how I had a little Friday treat for you all. The present would be TK Webb tour dates and a free TK Webb & the Visions download from their recently released full length, Ancestor. But then I went ahead and read the email […]

EC Interviews O’Death

O’Death is set to release their next full length, Broken Hymns, Limbs & Skin, on October 28th. They’re currently touring to promote the record and will be in Boston on November 2nd at TT the Bear’s. Full tour dates are available after the break.
Perhaps the most telling pieces of the interview come in their […]
