We’re thrilled to be celebrating Fenway Recordings‘ 10th Anniversary at the Beachcomber in Wellfleet this Sunday.

FACES ON FILM @ GREAT SCOTT

Posted on December 9, 2010 by J. PAT

Now, don’t get us wrong, we do love us some Mike Fiore, the singer-songwriter behind the deep-thoughts-and-haunting-melody outfit Faces on Film. But Christ, that dude can be hella depressing. Granted, gothic rock ballads do trend toward the weightier side of things, and you’re not going to get your epic portraits of anguish and suffering without pouring on a bit of the dour … ah, fuck it. You sound that good broke, then the last thing we’d want to do is fix ya. Wouldn’t want to see Fiore at Great Scott breaking out in Turtles covers, now would we? [1222 Comm.
