There is hope for Boston after all
“A Global terror they say, We are at war / But I ain't got time for that cos / These bills keep dropping through my door" -- Hard-Fi "Suburban Knights"
The fall in New England is a glorious time, and suddenly every week is action packed with dope shows. Look at this shit:
Sept. 13: Eagle Seagull at Great Scott
Sept. 21: Rilo Kiley at Avalon
Sept. 21: Eli “Paperboy” Reed & the True Loves at the pill
Sept. 22: The Information, Barnicle and Astor Twin at Great Scott
Sept. 27: Freezepop album release at the Middle East
Oct. 4: Patrick Wolf at the Paradise
Oct. 5: the pill’s 10th anniversary
Oct. 9: Gliss at Hennessys
Oct. 10: Digitalism at the Middle East
Oct. 11: Shit Disco at Great Scott
Oct. 18: the Hourly Radio at Great Scott
Then in November: The Enemy, the Blakes, Semi-Precious Weapons, Hiss & Chambers, Superdrag, Emergency Music, Battles. Jesus fucking Christ.
Cool note about Astor Twin. It’s a new NYC-based band from Heath Fradkoff, former bassist of the Information. I hooked him up with my boy Jay, former BM Linx drummer, and Astor Twin was born. I haven’t heard them, but when does Heath Fradkoff ever disappoint?
And I just found a cool YouTube clip of BM Linx’s performing Understanding Orange at the pill last year.
