Boston Counter Cultural Compass – JUL 11

Leave a comment

KLYAM has a neat calendar of shows that we plan on attending or, at the very least, recommend to others. The Boston Counter Cultural Compass has an even better publication that details quite a gamut of gigs every month. A good chunk of the listings are area punk houses and basements [what we folks like to call the underground underground] so please do get in touch with the BCCC or BCCCers (new term, maybe?) for information on locales. This is a great source for local music happenings — perhaps the best. They have a constantly updated Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boston-Counter-Cultural-Compass/137506276302253?ref=ts and a website: http://www.bostoncccompass.com/.

Click here or on the picture below [to make it more readable] to see what is going on for the rest of July!

Billboard: Black Lips- “Modern Art” Live + Q&A

Black Lips perform on top of  a roof and Cole and Ian provide some insight on their work with Mark Ronson, commercial success, bullshit trends, and phony “intellectual” dolts.

Fuck yeah! I just hope they branch off into other Arabia tracks, but these are certainly more than fine anthems to jostle the oft-sedated music world.  “Family Tree” is my current fave from this new LP.  What is yours?

Band Rec: The Roaches

1 Comment


This pic is not actually affiliated with the group haha.

The Roaches are a Boston Rock and Roll band that kick some serious ass, as serious as an ass can get. These gentlemen hark back to 90s Memphis Garage icons,  The Oblivians and take their raw, energetic sound to a whole new level. In the link below one can find their latest output: The Roaches​.​.​. Live Forever (demos ’11) and though they are just demos right now there is a lot of potentional and you can definitely hear strong songs in nearly all of these ditties. My favorite right now is “Be Afraid.”
