7:35 – TOPICS & PROMPTS
I feel like I am a member of a local scene and community.
There are not enough venues in Boston/There are no good venues in Boston.
There is nowhere to play in Boston/It’s hard (or impossible) to get shows in Boston.
Shows go too late OR Shows end too early.
Ideal time for a show/What time should a show start? End?
3 band bill (or less!) vs 4 band bill (or more!)
The Boston music scene is divided. Agree/disagree? Cliquey/exclusive? How can we make the scene better?
How can we bring more people together?
I feel safe (or unsafe or both at different times) at shows/Is the Boston music scene toxic?
How can we make shows safer and/or more welcoming and inclusive for people? What are the pros and cons?
The Boston (and/or New England as a whole) music scene is diverse (agree or disagree).
How does it compare to other cities? Does it vary from scene to scene? The Boston music scene is not welcoming to minority groups (agree or disagree)?
The cost of living is too high here in Boston. Being an artist here is not sustainable. Better to be somewhere else? Yes or No. Why stay here? The touring band should get all of the money made at the door. Agree/disagree.
How much should be charged at a show? What are the factors?
I’d like to see more genres/styles or people from different pockets of the scene share bills? OR I’d like to see more bills that consist of the same/similar genres and people I know and/or are familiar.
What do you think will happen with the new Great Scott/O’Brien’s Pub?

RAMA LAMA DING DONG COMING BACK TO O’BRIENS, SAT NOV 16

Leave a comment

Announcing RAMA LAMA DING DONG 2024 – KLYAM’s biggest annual music event/party. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16. 8 PM DOORS at O’BRIENS PUB in Allston.

FEELING FIGURES are coming down on tour from Montreal, Canada. Blew our minds recently at Gonerfest and just released a new record Everything Around You on K that’s received many well deserved accolades in the underground rock n roll universe.

K.O. QUEEN are it! In less than two years of existence, they’ve amassed a loyal following in the Boston underground. Hardcore heads a plenty for sure – but also pretty much everyone who has been lucky to catch them live. Brand new single out now.

ADULT LEARNERS – garage pop at its finest – driven by a sugary organ and a captivating rhythm section. KLYAM faves since they debuted a few years ago!

GIRL PLOWER – outsider electro pop duo from the Pelvic Floor collective – out of the basement and into the bar scene. watch out!

JOHNNIE AND THE FOODMASTERS – Back at O’Briens for the first time since The Best Show back in June – the sextet is nearing 10 years of destroying the oldies via ‘playful’ covers.

Get advance tix because this will sell out and we’d hate to see you out in the cold of Harvard Ave!
