I showed up 15 minutes late, and from the 5 minutes I saw of AAA, I'm glad I did. They just sounded awful.TLG James posted:Has anyone listened to the new Bosstone's Album? I'll be picking this one up when it comes out. I love it so far. You must tell me where you got it. I've had it preordered (from Newbury comics where your cd gets signed by Dicky Barrett  ) since the day they allowed me to.Anyone else got tickets to any of the Bosstones shows? I managed to grab a pair for the New Years Eve show at Lupos.

lessthankyle posted:I got tickets for NYE the minute they came out. This is gonna be the show of the year(s). I just checked the Bosstones myspace page and they are set to play with Zox (who?) and The Street Dogs that night. Might Joe Sirois play in two bands that night? If so, that'll be a long loving night for a drummer. I'm also going to see The Street Dogs on December 21st. So getting to see them again so soon makes me happy.

Just got home from yesterdays Mighty Mighty BossToneS show in Providence. Best concert I have ever been to. The BossToneS are the best ska band to ever exist. The show was also being filmed for a live dvd. Some camera guys interviewed me outside Lupos so hopefully I'll get on the dvd. The only downside of the show was how the crowd reacted to one of the opening bands, Zox. They type of indy-ish music they played didn't fit well in with the line up (Darkbuster, Street Dogs, then indy Zox?) but they weren't bad to listen to. It just wasn't my type of music. But some people in the crowd were ruthless. This one guy behind my screamed "gently caress you!" over and over for two entire songs while flipping them off before security came over and escorted him out of the building. The lead singer got a cup of beer thrown at him too. It was really sad to see a crowd react in such a way.

lessthankyle posted:Agreed on all counts. I haven't been to many concerts in the past few years, but that was easily the best I've been to in at least 7 years, and definitely the best Bosstones performance I've ever been to. They may have taken a four-year break, but they haven't missed a beat. They played for two hours straight and managed to keep the energy up the whole time. I was the fat kid in the black Clash tshirt. I was basically dead center for the entire show.

They kicked him out and called the cops, who he ended up running and escaping from and sneaking back in during the Bosstones third song and seeing the rest of the set. When Dicky was meeting people we yelled the story at him and I'm not sure if he understood it but he laughed, dropped what he was doing, and signed my friends CD. Your friend is a douchebag.

seventeen posted:With the recent closing of the Avalon and Axis in Boston, I'd like to imagine that Massachusetts/Rhode Island is getting back into the swing of things. The Avalon and Axis were the two of the biggest "small" venues for concerts in the Boston area and recently they were both closed down to be combined, so now a lot of smaller venues like the Middle East, T.T the Bear's, The Paradise and Harpers Ferry are getting a lot more attention from a lot more bands. I've definitely noticed a much more frequent show schedule now without the "Big Two" than with them. They'll be back. They are just rebuilding. I liked the avalon though. It was so convenient being basically right next to a T stop. And don't forget The Roxy. They are getting more shows too.

seventeen posted:I've heard a lot of heavy rumors that the two are actually being combined though I really don't see how that would work. It would just be far too large of a venue. I would compare the Roxy to The Palladium in Worcester if you take out the balcony. Or does the Roxy have a balcony? I dunno. I've heard that rumor too. What I heard is that they will have a movable wall that they can use to cut the club in half if they are having two separate events.

seventeen posted:I guess that could appeal to both the smaller bands with two rooms and the bigger bands with one room. I hope the nostalgia of the Axis and the Avalon doesn't make most of the city turn against the new venue. It could definitely do a lot. I don't think bands will turn away from this venue. It's one of the biggest general admission venues around. I know Dropkick Murphys were having real problems finding places big enough to have their annual St. Patrick's Day shows that they usually have at the Avalon. Although now that the Avalon and Axis have closed, it has forced me to check out other venues and I have really gotten to like some of them.

I've seen them 4 times but if you can't get to them, get their live album: Our Live Album is Better than Your Live Album Once you've heard that live album, you will never have to see RBF live. Their live shows (or atleast the 3 I've been to since they released it) have been almost exactly the same as their live cd. I could swear even their between song banter is the same. Not exactly exciting, and I love RBF.

I saw them twice here in Australia(brisbane) and they just seemed like they wanted to get it over with. Or at least, Aaron and Scott seemed to. Granted they were co-headlining with Less than jake the second, so they had to get off so LTJ could play. I noticed that as well the last few times I've seen them. I also noticed that their live shows are almost exactly like their live cd. Almost word for word. Songs seem to be in the same order too.

Ah when you said "continue in the direction" of that cd I thought you meant turn out more poo poo. But I do agree that more horns = needed and better.

Thomas has a horrible, horrible singing voice. But when you add it to the guitar and horns of Streetlight it's excellent. But on it's own, it's quite bad. Stick to a full band dude, no more acoustic poo poo.
