Despite being my Friday night haven, I think I certainly take Great Scott for granted. Having a venue within walking distance of Le Barrows where drinks are cheap and the clientele, for the most part, is mad chill is a pretty rare bird. The upcoming summer calendar is just silly. Some Vanya highlights:
May 18: Snowden - Cool Atlanta indie band, given the dope remix treatment of Le Castle Vania, the best electro DJ in the country. They played the pill a while back, and are one good single away from stardom. I think it arrives on the next album.
May 19: The Long Blondes - Latest UK indie folks to go synth-heavy. Lead vocalist is a doll.
June 8: Lightspeed Champion - Solo project from the dude in Test Icicles, with varying results.
June 9: These New Puritans - Show of the year, and not just because I'm DJing and Passion Pit opens. But kinda.
June 19: The Ting Tings - "Great DJ" is in the lead for Song Of The Year. Worth a walk down the street.
Aug. 3: The Enemy - British band, sounds like everyone before them, with good results for the non-jaded. Finally sorted out their name issues, I see.
The Rock in Allston. Good shit.
