You Can Be A Wesley – SXSW – Boston to Austin

Published on February 9, 2012 By twoifbyscene

OMG guys, I’m like totally crushing so hard. I caught You Can Be A Wesley at last night’s Boston-to-Austin event at Great Scott and after two of my other favorite acts in Boston, Old Jack and Aloud, tore up the stage. The event was a promo for the Boston-to-Austin party at this year’s South By Southwest in Austin, [...]

BOBBY at Great Scott. Tuesday, December 6

Published on December 5, 2011 By Mike K

BOBBY, with it’s seemingly ever-shifting lineup, will be bringing it’s avant-folk/pop to Great Scott in Allston tomorrow night. Tickets are $9 (so cheap!!), and available at the door. You can check out a couple of recorded songs below, but my best guess is that the live set is going to be an extended psychedelic jam [...]

Review: Leisure, Girlfriends, Tanks Amigo, and Crystal Stilts at Great Scott on November 30

Published on December 1, 2011 By Mike K

KILL A CHILLWAVER FOR POST PUNK Spurred by two excellent music books, Just Kids and Please Kill Me, I’ve been spending a lot of time listening to music from the 70s and 80s, ranging from The Velvet Underground, to Television, to Patti Smith. It’s made me think about how these musical innovators sent sounds rippling [...]

Published on November 28, 2011 By Mike K

Great throwback pop/rock show at Great Scott tomorrow night Tomorrow night at one of my favorite Boston venues, Great Scott in Allston, Leisure will be opening up for Crystal Stilts. I’ve written about the last time I saw the local rock crew, Leisure, over here, so I won’t bore you too much with another run down of their [...]

I wasted my (unlimited) T pass seeing Dominant Legs at Great Scott

Published on October 19, 2011 By Mike K

(Show was on Sunday, October 16th. Written by Emily) I arrived at Great Scott pretty late Sunday night. Nurses were finishing a song from their newest album (which I haven’t really listened to). They played 2-3 more songs and finished their set with a song from their first album. I liked it, but I wasn’t [...]

Leisure and We Are Augustines at Great Scott. September 28, 2011

Published on September 28, 2011 By Mike K

It was an old crowd at Great Scott tonight, and there was a fair amount of grumbling as the clock ticked passed 10:15 before the show got started. There were a lot of collared shirts for an indie show, and a lot of guys who looked like they were dragged along by their girlfriends. Leisure [...]

We Are Augustines at Great Scott September 27

Published on September 27, 2011 By Mike K

I feel like I should start having my mail delivered straight to Great Scott, with how much time I’ve been spending there. Whoever is doing the booking down there in Allston earned his salary with a non-stop lineup of killer acts this month. I feel bad for everyone who missed the Viva Voce show last night. [...]

I want to emphasize that I 100% vouch for all of these shows. This is not nearly an exhaustive list of the shows going on in Boston, but I guarantee that you will hear some great music at any of these places.  Listen, I know you’re already exhausted from seeing some great live music all this [...]

Mind-blowing Music Week in Boston

Between now and October 3 there is [...]
