Woo, The Orwells are coming back to the area, opening for UK’s Palma Violets at Brighton Music Hall on Monday May 6th. Can’t say I know much about Palma Violets, but The Orwells — I know a thing or two about these guys. Saw them for the first time in February at TTs and yup, that show was the real deal. Glad to see them coming back soon!
Can’t wait for this! In one week, Freak Flag presents: Ottawa’s greatest, Peach Kelli Pop at the Radio (Somerville) along with stellar opening bands, The Fagettes,The Scamps, and Great Valley.
Excited to see one of my favorite bands, Shannon and the Clams, is playing with our boy Mikal Cronin. Hitting up the Great Scott on Monday, June 17. To top it all off, local KLYAM fave, The Migs are opening! I have been waiting to see Shannon and the Clams for a couple of years now, so I’m really psyched! And it’s been way too long since I have seen The Migs, hopefully I see them before this show too! So many exclamation points, so little time!
