On occasion, I drag some vintage equipment around to shows and shoot a roll of film or two. I’ve actually been making a point to do it more often lately, which is why you’ll be seeing some (hopefully) lovely analog shots from Boston Calling up …
I really never expected to see Television. They’re a legendary band with no ostensible reason to embark on proper tours, content to play one-off festival dates and the occasional NYC gig that I would inevitably not be able to get to (case in point: last …
Sunday was one of the first legitimately beautiful days of the obnoxious faux-spring that has cloaked Boston in grey misery for much of the last month or two, and a gorgeous day faded into a warm, weird night in Allston where NYC heavy pysch space-rockers White …
An excellent electronic bill of UK producers, headed by Jon Hopkins and rounded out by Clark and Nathan Fake, took over The Sinclair on Monday night. My review is up at Tastemakers, with more photos here.
Logistical weirdness prevented me from getting in the door to the highly anticipated (and very sold-out) High on Fire/Kvelertak/Doomriders gig at the Middle East on Saturday night, so I headed to Royale and shot some of the abrasive craziness at Sleigh Bells instead. Some photos …
My new freelancing gig for BDCwire took me to shows from psych rockers Wooden Shjips, quirky Canadian songwriter Dan Bejar (aka Destroyer) and mystical dream-pop crew Active Child over the course of last week. Click the links for the full photo galleries for each.
Just as they did last June, jam-band-with-indie-cred Built to Spill sold out the Paradise last Friday night for a laid-back show that sported some weird and awesome cover performances. Read my review at Tastemakers, and see the rest of the photos here.

Massachusetts post-rockers Caspian wowed a sold-out Sinclair a few weeks back for a date on their tour with 65daysofstatic and The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die. Photos from the show are here.
Indie rock stalwarts Sebadoh, headed by Dinosaur Jr.’s Lou Barlow, played The Sinclair earlier this month in support of their first new LP in 14 years, Defend Yourself. Check out the photo set here.
