Spacehog at Harpers Ferry

Music,Photos 18 January 2010 | 0 Comments

I remember when my good pal Chris Croft had me listen to a strange band in his Mustang back in 1995. I remember vividly driving down H Street plugging in the tape adapter to listen to Spacehog. Sadly I never got the chance to see them live way back when but fast forward 15 years (holy shit!!) and 3,000 miles to my new home in Boston and I get the chance to see them live. They played some of my favorites, In the Meantime and others from their first album Resident Alien such as Space is the Place, Spacehog, and Zeroes.  It was a great show.  They were a little rusty, even cracking jokes how they forgot some of their songs, but it brought me back to rocking out so many years ago.

Mew starts US tour in Boston

Music,Photos 25 August 2009 | 0 Comments

Mew started their short tour to promote their new album No More Stories Saturday in Boston at the Paradise Rock Club.  Mew opened with New Terrain, which was astonishing to see performed live, then played seamlessly into Introducing Palace Players.  It was a wall of sound that is rarely heard.  The layering of sound was incredible.  Mew played for the next hour and twenty minutes covering their entire catalog.  Like previous Mew shows, they included a video projector synced to the music, including cats and rabbits playing violins.  One of the great moments in the background video is during Sometimes Life Isn’t Easy where they have guys dancing synced to the clapping and stopping their feet, then it changes to kids singing the chorus.  As always Mew is an amazing sight to see live and I’ll always see them if they are playing.

Mew is set to release their new album No More Stories… next week in the United States, and they happening to be playing Boston this weekend at The Paradise. I have seen Mew twice back in Seattle, and they put on an amazing visual and audio show. I am pretty excited as Mew is only doing a handful of shows before the release of the albums in the States. Check out the first video from the new album

Supporting my Seattle peeps! Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head @ T.T. the Bear’s

Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head were in town tonight playing T.T. the Bear’s Place over in Cambridge. I decided to go check them out from all my Seattle peeps telling me their live show was pretty darn fun, and they were right. A youthful explosion of moog dance rock. Nice crew too. Great seeing bands from Seattle getting some national attention.

Bee Gees Metal Tribute Band? TRAGEDY!!

Music,Photos 4 June 2009 | 0 Comments


Bee Gees Metal Tribute Band? What in the world? Who would do such a thing? Well someone did and it is awesome. I heard about Tragedy about six months ago when I lived in Seattle. I thought they were a too funny, great tunes, to some classic songs. I never thought I’d get a chance to see them live though because they are the #1 Bee Gees Metal Tribute Band in the Northeast Corridor. To my luck moving to Boston and some surfing on Boston.com, I find them playing last Saturday night at Harper’s Ferry. Well I can’t pass this opportunity up! Well I was totally decimated from their show. Absolute blast! One of the more entertaining shows I have gone too in ages. Well worth checking out if they come to your town.

Albums that need to be on Rock Band

Games,Music 24 May 2009 | 0 Comments

Rock Band has been out for a while now with expansions and the sequel and a nice constant stream of downloadable content, yet the albums aren’t being released very frequently.  There are some albums out there that would make for some awesome drunken Rock Band enjoyment, and here are a couple albums I think should at some point be released on Rock Band.
