Japan’s most versatile drone/doom/experimental metal band spent two nights in Boston last weekend as a part of their From the Past, the Present and Through to the Future tour. I was distracted by a former Smith during Saturday’s “greatest hits” set, but I made it to Brighton for the full album performance of Flood the next night. The Converge-affiliated Doomriders opened.

On what is almost certainly the year’s most fitting double-bill, surf-punks Wavves and FIDLAR played a sold-out Brighton Music Hall earlier this month to an appropriately energetic crowd.

Hello there. It’s been a while. As you’re probably aware, Boston has been a bit chaotic as of late. My personal life has gone ahead and followed suit. Things are calming down though, and at last I have time to get around to a month’s worth of back content. First up are photos from a brilliant Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds show at the Orpheum, which I shot on black and white Ilford Delta ASA 3200 film. Imperfect results, but charmingly so. Check them out here.
Thurston Moore has also been in town recently, bringing his post-Sonic Youth band Chelsea Light Moving to The Sinclair on April 7th. I reviewed that show for Allston Pudding, and you can read about it here. A gallery with additional photos is also up at the Noise Floor photography page.
Stay tuned for photos and a recollection of some sort from the Wavves/FIDLAR show at Brighton Music Hall on the 5th in the next day or two.
It’s good to be back.

I don’t write nearly enough album reviews, but Nick Cave’s stunning new record is one I feel rather strongly about. Read my thoughts on it at length over at the Tastemakers Magazine site.
