Martyrhead – July 23, 2010 – Hole in the Wall, Austin TX

Dara — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:41:09 +0000

an energetic Motorhead cover band from San Antonio – could be just what you’re looking for if you’re looking for that sort of thing

Christy & the Plow Boys – July 23, 2010 – Museum of Natural and Artifical Ephemerata

Dara — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:38:45 +0000

they were providing the musical entertainment for a special exhibit at the Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata, an adorable example of Austin quirk – the exhibit was cave-themed and so they played old mining songs – I have become a fat sucker for Appalachian style music and this was a close...

The Fleshtones – July 14, 2010 – Waterloo Records, Austin TX

Dara — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:36:55 +0000

guaranteed, this band is quintessential garage rock, the definition of it – but their live show was kind of horrifying – really old men using the same-old ‘we’re-so-crazy’ rock star antics they’ve used for probably some 30-40 years now – one guy looked to have the same haircut he had in the 70s –...

The Chapin Sisters House of Blues Boston Jul 1, 2010

Andrew — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:09:19 +0000

The Chapin Sisters can harmonize. They can belt it with the best of them (including Zooey Deschanel). The best of their opening set was Let Me Go which crashed over the crowd like a tidal wave. The worst was their set closer, a creepy song Digging a Hole, which transformed them from Cinderella to...

She & Him House of Blues Boston July 1, 2010

Andrew — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 11:32:37 +0000

That She & Him (Zooey Deschanel & M. Ward respectively) are darlings of the indie circuit is without a doubt. A sold-out all-ages show at the House of Blues Boston and an audience that was down with the duo’s plush, folky arrangements was all the proof necessary. The first half of...

The Psychedelic Furs – June 30, 2010 – Emo’s Austin TX

Dara — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:34:05 +0000

lead singer’s voice is some mix of Peter Murphy and David Bowie which sounds amazing but they’re not – they never particularly struck me in the 1990s and I figured out why once I saw them live some 20 years later – he’s just too happy – lead singer Richard Butler, looking either very old [...]

She Wants Revenge – June 30, 2010 – Emo’s Austin TX

Dara — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:29:33 +0000

I hear mention of this band a lot but didn’t know their material or even their sound – I can’t stand Interpol and they’re definitely in that vein but I could stand them – sleek, dark and shiny – I always imagined them as a bunch of polished young rock stars but they were 2 [...]

ScatterShot The Skellig Waltham, MA June 26, 2010

Andrew — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:08:04 +0000

I’m a sucker for a good cover band, and ScatterShot was probably one of the better I’ve ever seen. We showed up in time for their second set of the night, complete with a “Sing with the Band” competition (for girls only) and credible takes on Def Lepard’s Pour Some...

Cyndi Lauper Memphis Blues Tour House of Blues Boston June 26, 2010

Andrew — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 17:00:32 +0000

Cyndi Lauper put together a blues band for her tour and stuck to all but a handful of new songs on the setlist. She was fiery onstage (even with the choice of toxic-red wig) and she was clearly enjoying herself. The opener Just Your Fool was a good example of why Lauper is a fuckin’ pop [...]

David Rhodes House of Blues Boston June 26, 2010

Andrew — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 14:07:28 +0000

David Rhodes, a recording and touring guitarist for Peter Gabriel for the last twenty-five years, played a thirty-minute solo set ahead of Cyndi Lauper at the House of Blues. The music was good, but the overall performance was a little awkward. It came across like Rhodes didn’t have any more...
