* FREE *

::::: LINEUP (FROM FIRST TO LAST):::::::

THE SWETTES – one of our favorites pre-pandemic – got their start at Ladies Rock Campaign, bringing the Boston underground the kind of punchy punk we love and need – totally raw and compelling!

ADULT LEARNERS – very new band ft. Kathy Snax on vox/keyboard, Simon on drums (& amazing designer of this flyer), and bassist Joe (of the legendary Tampoffs). Short & sweet garage pop nuggets!

NICE GUYS – our buds – we released their first 7″ and have seen them play 109 times. the nice boys might be at the peak of their noisy rock n roll powers if their 10 yr anniversary show was any indication. new album on the way????

JOHNNIE & THE FOODMASTERS – KLYAM house band – if you can make it ’til the end of the debauchery and irreverent tributes to the ’50s and ’60s…you’ll get receipt. rumors of a totally new set???

KLYAM’s Rama Lama Ding Dong Returns – Sat Nov 13 @ O’Briens


Our annual Rama Lama Ding Dong festival is less than two weeks away – mark your calendars for Saturday, November 13 at O’Briens Pub in Allston.

The 2021 edition is a spectrum of pop and punk but surely not pop punk.

We’ve got RLDD 2019 favorites/late ’70s punk legends Unnatural Axe back again. Mr. B called them “the most important punk band Boston will ever call its own”.

Silver Synthetic are on tour from New Orleans! We saw them outdoors at Gonerfest so surely it will be wild to see the Third Man Records supergroup bring their warm & breezy sound to the cozy pub atmosphere of O’Briens.

The Swettes played our Holiday Party in December 2019 and surely won the hearts of the Dorchester Art Project faithful with their minimalist, adventurous, and immediate brand of rock ‘n roll. They met at Girls Rock Camp just a few years ago.

We’re excited to at long last do a show with Kathy Snax! Kathy just released a 7″ (Changeling b/w On A Winter Day) on Relief Map Records. The eerie/haunting vibe is real, but it’s the catchiness/pop of Kathy’s music that makes it feel not of this time/of this place.

Johnnie and the Foodmasters have played all of the RLDD and the streak continues. Musicality meets chaos in the context of the golden oldies.

This will sell out! Get your tickets ahead of time:
