I don’t care that WFNX is the competition’s radio station. This is a big problem for Boston music, and here’s why. Continue reading

HUNDRED VISIONS: LAST CAB FROM TUNIS

FOTOBOM: THE BIG PINK + STEREO TELESCOPE @ BRIGHTON MUSIC HALL
The Big Pink + Stereo Telescope = D’AW ADORABLE PHOTO OPS. When they’re offstage, anyway. When they’re ONstage, they’re beasts. Body-shakin’, guitar-slingin’, note-beltin’ beasts. Mick Murray caught their set at the Brighton Music Hall Wednesday night, and the best kind of audible chaos ensued. FOTOBOM! Continue reading

FOTOBOM: GOOD OLD WAR + THE BELLE BRIGADE @ THE PARADISE

This spring, they embarked on a tour in support of one of the most hit-heavy bands of the ’90s and bounded homeward last night for a sold-out show at the House of Blues. I’m still bummed that I didn’t hear “Mr. Jones” (as was my mom, who’s practically worn out her copy of August and Everything After), but it was a lovely evening on the ears all the same.

DEFEND YOURSELF!: FORT LEAN
Before their set opening for We Were Promised Jetpacks tonight at the Paradise, we caught up with guitarist Zach Fried on his band’s quick-n’-dirty (well, not THAT dirty) rise to indie it band status since their breakout CMJ performance last fall. Continue reading
