Stalking the stage and gyrating like a human-sized praying mantis that’s occasionally subjected to electric shocks, Garrett remains the visual focal point of the show.
FOTOBOM: MASTODON, EAGLES OF DEATH METAL, RUSSIAN CIRCLES @ HOUSE OF BLUES, 08MAY17
Eagles Of Death Metal will always been linked to the atrocity of the Bataclan murders, which is a bit ironic because Jesse Hughes and company are all about the good times.
FOTOBOM: THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS, WAXAHATCHEE @ HOUSE OF BLUES, 25APR17
Of the new material, a rousing “Avalanche Alley” was the strongest, fueled by the powerhouse vocals of Neko Case and Kathryn Calder.
FOTOBOM: PJ HARVEY @ HOUSE OF BLUES, 17APR17
Not counting her 2009 show with collaborator for life John Parish, it’s been quite a while since PJ Harvey played a show in town. Thirteen years, to be exact, but who’s counting? Throngs of fans who braved the remnants of the receding tide of Sox fans and Marathon participants/supporters made their way through Kenmore […]

There is more than one way to remove the epidermis from a feline, and tonight, two bands from Texas and Stockholm showed the many varied gradations of how to go from point A to point B in the metal world. Opeth is touring the states in support of the just-released Sorceress, another point in […]
FOTOBOM: GREEN DAY @ HOUSE OF BLUES, 10/1/16
The history of massively popular bands playing much smaller than usual venues is a long and storied one.
