BOSTON ON BOSTON: ELLIE MOLITOR | ALLSTON PUDDING

Posted on April 6, 2013 by ELLIE MOLITOR

FAVORITE FRESHMAN: FINS. “Baby in Blue” is incredible,

and even more so because these dudes are still in high school.

FAVORITE LOCAL MUSICIAN: Krill. They operate as a single entity more so than any other band in the world.

FAVORITE NEW RELEASE: Fat History Month‘s Bad History Month.

I don’t really want to tarnish this with words, so just go listen: and then buy it, so you can listen to it forever, wherever you go.

FAVORITE MEMORY FROM BOSTON SCENE: Shamelessly, I’ve got to pick Allston Pudding’s 2012/13 New Years Eve pizza party over at Reginas. It was the first time I saw Boytoy play, The Migs and CreaturoS both absolutely slayed as always, and You Can Be A Wesley brought it all home at midnight -- all whilst eating lots of pizza and accidentally drinking the wine they had on display.

ALLSTON PUDDING NYE @ REGINA PIZZERIA

Posted on December 15, 2012 by DIG STAFF

Photo from YCBAW’s final show in Boston at Great Scott before the band took a hiatus.

Allston Pudding’s New Year’s Eve at Regina Pizzeria—$1 slices! $2 tallboys! It’s like the best part of your childhood (pizza parties) mixed with the best part out your adulthood (drinking)! Also some bands (like, You Can Be A Wesley) are playing or something, but let’s be honest:

we had you at pizza and beer.

FOTOBOM: THE CONCRETES AT GREAT SCOTT

Posted on January 21, 2011 by CADY DRELL

It’s hard to know who really stole the opening line-up at Great Scott last night: the undeniably-melodic Hooray for Earth are tied with the precocious guys and gal of You Can Be a Wesley. What is certain is that the sexy sounds of headliner The Concretes will be keeping us warm for the rest of these cold, cold winter months. Continue reading →
