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: UNDER THE BACK TO SCHOOL COVER

spiritkid

The whole “picture worth a thousand words” thing doesn’t really apply to this week’s cover as we were a liiiiiiittle speechless when the proofs came back from Mike Basu. The bands on set — Spirit Kid, The Organ Beats and Stereotelescope — got a little rowdy with the beautiful models. Evidence below. Continue reading

STEREO TELESCOPE @ GREAT SCOTT

sterotelescoe

Hey, Stereo Telescope, how was the tour? Man, it’s fucking nuts that less than 48 hours ago, you were Moog-ing up Brooklyn, and now you’re onstage at Great Scott! What’s your secret? Do you two take Red Bull intravenously, or are you some sorta indefatigable Atari-cyborgs? Well, at least the latter would explain how that sweatband synthpop you guys rock so hard comes so naturally. Well, as “natural” as anything that sounds like a robot’s ringtone can be. So yeah, it looks like you’re playing music now, so we’ll just leave you alone. Go and dance or something. Cool.

CALLING ALL ANGELS @ TT THE BEAR’S

Yo, seen any seraphim or cherubs hereabouts? Shit. Well, if you do, tell them to haul their winged asses over to the Calling All Angels Benefit over at T.T. The Bear’s Place. Boston Band Crush put together this day-long who’s-who of local tune-beltin’ do-gooders, from the spacefunktackular future sounds of Lovewhip and Stereo Telescope, to the skin-blistering cock-out rock-out of Sidewalk Diver and Bang Camaro, with all proceeds going toward the Friends of Emilia organization and the Beth Israel Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. We’re not saying that you have to go, just that you’d better have a damn good excuse. [10 Brookline St., Boston. 646.217.4715. 12:30pm/$12. ttthebears.com]
