FOTOBOM: THE WHO, TAL WILKENFELD @ TD GARDEN, 3/6
The passion and fury that catapulted The Who to controversy and stardom still burned fiercely within Daltrey and Townshend as the band celebrated 50 years at TD Garden.
FOTOBOM: TY SEGALL AND THE MUGGERS, CFM, MIDRIFFS @ ROYALE, 3/1
Ty Segall is a rock star. There’s no other way around it. Not in the “don’t spill the beluga and Cristal in the back of the Rolls-Royce” sort, but more in the approach of doing exactly what he wants to, and having a large (and getting larger) audience ready to receive ...
ALBUM PREMIERE: KID MOUNTAIN – TRINKLES
Bright, shimmering, almost glittering--"Trinkles" is a testament to Kid Mountain's staying power in the Boston scene. A worthy followup to Happies, let it be your soundtrack to the first foray into spring.

Sure, the fans want to hear some new material, but they also want some well-worn chestnuts that have nestled into their lives like a comfy pair of slippers, not some boots you have to break ...
FOTOBOM: GRAVEYARD AND SPIDERS @ THE MIDDLE EAST, 22JAN16
A while ago I read some factoid about Sweden having the highest ratio of metal bands per capita. Since Saab went out of business, after IKEA it’s possible that high volume guitar rock is their second leading export. Tonight would find two of Sweden’s finest checking in for the first date ...
