Tomorrow afternoon San Diego will be sending its famed double-douchebag offense (Tomlinson/Rivers) into Foxboro and I’m certainly looking forward to that. But the best thing ever to come out of that city has got to be the under-appreciated band, Louis XIV. In their first cd ‘The Best Little Secrets are Kept’ their glam influences are […]
Tonight, the Fashion Failures release Don’t Make me Kiss You Motherfucker with a live show at the Blackstone. Though there aren’t any tracks from this one on their myspace page, the tracks they do have up are pretty ace. Fiery, propulsive guitar rock, like Radio Birdman‘s 70’s output or some of Ron Asheton’s solo stuff

Friday night at AS220, in celebration of the Winter Solstice (fucking Wiccans…) the United Space Rock Coalition will play for twelve fucking hours, bravely pushing the limits of what is considered listenable to even the most incredibly stoned fans of Can and Popol Vuh.

Presented by B Sharp, the greatest music gear shop in the universe, tonight Boston’s Major Stars release their 6th (!) album, Mirror/Messenger (Drag City). Also on the bill, Brooklyn’s Sightings, whose newest Through The Panama (Load) was produced by Andrew WK. And that’s some cred, people. Hear a stream of the awesome track “Perforated” here.
I don’t have a ton of info on this showcase, but its a safe bet that it’s all gonna be pretty stellar. It seems like Southern New England may have taken all the venerable Cape Verdean artists that tiny Cabo Verde has to offer the world. Lucky for us that means Notera Studios is a

A friendly reminder: As much as we despise the idea of even considering leaving Rhody, Honkfest is reason for that rare, laborious schlep up to freaking Cambridge: HonkFest takes over Somerville this weekend — led by Car Talk’s Click and Clack, with marching bands from across the country (and globe) and activists galore, it’s a
If you’ve got nothing to do around noon today, stop by the PPAC for a free concert featuring the ancient wurlitzer organ. You get a comp. beverage that may or may not be booze. (Projo)
