Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band Upstairs
Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band returned to Boston and played the Middle East Upstairs this time. They played some new songs coming from their second album, which they anticipate coming out next next year sometime.
Bee Gees Metal Tribute Band? TRAGEDY!!
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
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.
Deer Tick covering Beautiful Girls
At the Deer Tick show they did a couple covers including this one of Sean Kingston’s Beautiful Girls. Good stuff. Sorry for the audio quality.
Deer Tick at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel
I drove down to Providence to check out Deer Tick at their homecoming show before heading on a major tour with Jenny Lewis. Awesome show. Video shortly.

I saw Bishop Allen a couple weeks ago and haven’t taken the time to update the site with the photos. I am experimenting with Flickr, so tell me what you think.
Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band coming to Boston
Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band “Going On A Hunt” from The Crocodile on Vimeo
One of the hot bands in the blogshpere right now is Seattle’s own Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, who happens to be playing the Middle East Downstairs on Friday the 3rd. I plan on check them out. Their new self titled album was released a couple weeks ago and well worth checking out.
The Ting Tings to reopen The Croc
It looks like one of the best venues locally will be reopening with a pretty high profile act. The Ting Tings are coming back to the States this Spring and have a show listed in Seattle at The Crocodile Cafe. Those in Seattle will remember that the Croc closed appruptly closed in December of 2007. I always loved going to shows at the Croc due to the very small size. Seeing someone like the Ting Tings would be a blast.
Ben Kweller returns to Seattle
Ben Kweller returned to Seattle tonight at Chop Suey promoting his new EP How Ya Lookin’ Southbound? Comein… and prepping for a full length LP to be released in the next couple months. Like always Ben and company played the house down, with some classics and new tracks. The addition of the steel guitar added a nice bluesy country twang to the new songs. As always it was great seeing Ben, Liz, Dorian, and company. They are so friendly. I wish them all the best on the rest of the tour and look forward to them coming back to town in the coming months. Here are some photos from the show.
