Band In Boston

Take Headband, swap them around, add Marc from Township and Tulsa, and you’ve got Appletown Gun Shop. Bittersweet, introspective songs about… well, I’m not totally sure. But it’s good.

For some reason, we felt like beating up on each other today. It’s all in good fun. And that’s exactly what you’ll tell the nice men in blue when they ask you. Featuring Takka Takka, Asteroid #4, The Sky Drops, The Self Righteous Brothers, Mittens, Buttercup, The Silver Lining, Girls Guns and Glory, The Teenage […]

The Family Township features members of Runner and the Thermodynamics, SPiTZZ, The Cancer Conspiracy, Radar Eyes, and Tulsa. Tell me how you can go wrong with that. They’re at Harper’s Ferry this Thursday. You will NOT be disapointed. It’s too much band for one living room to contain, but we did our best. Song List: […]

OK, so now it looks like it’s going to get cold… I guess we had it coming. Luckily, there’s plenty of great music to warm you up this week. Featuring The Pwrfl Power, Faces on Film, Tiny Whales, Sam Bigelow, Dave Godowsky, Muy Cansado, The Triple Dids, Township, The Dead Trees, Georgie James, and Milo […]

Wow, wow, wow. Sort of a Black Keys with more members, or Kings of Leon with more ideas. They’re taking a 4 month hiatus, so this should help tide you over. Song list: Home Home  Home Nobody’s Lonesome for Me (by Hank Williams) Math Po Mo Lo (Post Modern Love) (they haven’t named this one […]

One of our favorite bands – last performance for a while.

Song List: Flying Pizza This Flag Signals Goodbye Room Full of You This Is Not How Forever Begins Slave To […]

Here’s to a great year. We’ll ease you into it slowly, since, well, we’re just as hungover as you. Featuring Jake Brennan, States and Capitols, Tigersaw, Seekonk, This Car Up, Frank Smith, The Broken River Prophet, Vox Humana, and Drop Earrings.

Beautiful male/female harmonies with a, well, punk aesthetic. They’re at TT’s this Thursday. We should have crappier bands in so that we don’t have to say this so often: They are awesome. Song List: The Day I Was a Horse (by The Vaselines) Do You Look At Everybody That Way Simple Other Are We Full […]

Happy Holidays everyone! It’s a slow week, thus a short show. A very very short show. Featuring Ace and Artemis, Fishbone, Men Women and Children, Hands and Knees, Eli “Paperboy” Reed and the True Loves, Swearing at Motorists, and Kamikaze Hearts.

Ohio’s Beaten Awake just finished their first solo tour (thier first tour was with Fat Possum labelmates The Black Keys), and stopped by the living room to do this. Thanks to them, lucky for you.
