Charlie Slick’s a real showman. Energetic. Unapologetic. And always the first one on the dance floor with moves that often explode in a barrage lights and glitter. Continue reading

GIMME SHELTER: SCOUTER
The boys of Scouter clearly spent their high school careers doing three things: playing guitar (naturally), playing video games (definitely) and getting laid more than Slave Leia at Comic-Con (maybe). Continue reading

GIMME SHELTER: GEFFIKA
Chicago’s own Geffika stormed through Allston last week dumping gallons of thirst-quenching slow & heavy all over us and that hellfire should subdue my yearning, at least for a little while. Where as a good basement show can be determined by the amount of condensation sweating off the pipes, Geffika’s Jessica Calvanico (guitar, lead vox) and Geoff Thai (drums, backing vox) might as well have made the pipes cry blood. Continue reading

GO SKATEBOARDING DAY
The summer solstice is here! Our earth has hit its maximum 23 degree tilt towards the sun giving us longer daylight hours and idyllic weather. For Boston, the first day of summer symbolizes a transition from complaining about the cold to complaining about the heat, but for an international microcosm of thrill seekers, it’s international Go Skateboarding Day.

GIMME SHELTER: THE FAGETTES
Their name is certainly attention grabbing, if not hilarious and mildly offensive, and conjures up a vision of some cartoony, sweaty, red balloon-of-a-minister screaming hellfire somewhere below the Bible Belt. At the very least, when “The Fagettes” started appearing on show fliers last November, it was intriguing. Continue reading

GIMME SHELTER: DA COMRADE!
When it comes to channeling an appreciation for locals and traveling acts alike, in and out of non-traditional and economy free show spaces, there may not be a more relatable city than that of brotherly love, Philadelphia. There’s a connection forged between both our fair cities rooted deeper than sports teams … and it’s certainly at the forefront for do-it-yourselfers. One prime example of a Philly-based ambassador to Boston: Da Comrade! Continue reading

GIMME SHELTER: RIDGEMONT
From the core to the surface, Allston’s Ridgemont are punk-as-f*ck, loud and proud of it. They dress the part (if that matters) and they certainly have that carefree, fun-loving, beer swilling, feel good impulsive attitude which was exhibited through our time talking together. There was less of a formal interview and more of a bunch of rowdiness with a mix of jokes, group sing (yelling), lewd gestures and shenanigans topped off with fire. Continue reading

SOUTH PARK: THE COMPLETE FOURTEENTH SEASON
If only to continue your obsessive-compulsive collecting of TV season DVD box sets you’ll watch once—and then never pick up again, only to let them sit on the shelf chronologically as trophies of first place consumerism—here’s South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season! Continue reading

GIMME SHELTER: HUNNIE BUNNIES
Mark and Jeff Johnson of The Hunnie Bunnies aren’t brothers, but they might as well be. It’s often assumed as they coincidentally sharing the same last name. They slightly look alike, enough for Mark to be complimented for Jeff’s bass playing in garage-psych monsters, Doomstar! on several occasions. For what it’s worth, they also finished each other’s sentences a lot, so we may still have one of those separated-at-birth 20/20 specials just waiting to happen. Continue reading

GIMME SHELTER: DAVID LIEBE HART
Being most recognized for his role on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as the old guy with the puppets and songs about aliens, David is one in the same with his TV personality. Currently touring along side musical collaborator, Adam Papagan, and free of Adult Swim affiliation, his following lies somewhere along the lines of cult and novelty. Continue reading

GIMME SHELTER: THE NEW HIGHWAY HYMNAL
There’s something storming out of Haverhill right now that’s reinventing the music of yesteryear in the welcoming modern age. With full sound deeply rooted in delta blues and country with a kicked up flair of psychedelia, The New Highway Hymnal are rewriting the good book to be worshiped on the alter of all things reverberated rock.
