Who’s playing this week. We listen to almost every band playing and pick our favorites. Hopefully you agree.
Stripped-down semi-acoustic performances from some of the best bands from Boston and beyond.
Live and in the wild. Hear bands the way they were supposed to be heard. Loud, live, and in person.
Another great Brooklyn band. I think they were a bit dubious of our latest mini drumkit experiment – leaving the practice pads on. I don’t think we’ll make a habit of it, but it worked out ok. They are heading to Amsterdam this winter, so who knows if they’ll ever find their way back. Let’s hope they do.

We’ve had a lot of people pestering us for this one. Naked Gods come from North Carolina, and managed to make our living room sound like a cavern with their incredibly soulful Band-like americana. The last time they were in town, they played to an utterly packed Zuzu. On a monday night, no less. Be sure to help pack the next joint they hit.

Here’s something Boston needs more of: clever and intelligent, yet interminably catchy and danceable pop music. They’ve got a CD release at the Paradise on Friday, 4/17! Yes!!! Be there!!!

(note: I think these may be the “internal” band abbreviated titles. I’ll check them at home tonight.)

A bit of the alt-country thing, a dash of Kink-iness (as made abundantly clear by their cover), and a gang of super-talented musicians. Sign us up. They’re playing at PA’s on Saturday the 11th!

Bloomington, Indiana’s (yes, confusing, I know) Kentucky Nightmare put up with more wrong turns on their way to the flophouse than any other band we’ve had stop by. On top of that, Tyler lost a tooth. Which was actually pretty cool. It looks like they’re sticking to the home turf for the next few weeks, but be sure to check them out when they’re near you!

Chris Wilhelm has a pretty kickass album called This Train’s Not Going Slow, and is the co-star of Faster Than A Fax Machine, a quasi-factual movie about the trials and tribulations of playing music for a living. I think. I haven’t seen it yet. But let’s let the songs have their say.
