Photos! Girls Guns & Glory, Cassavettes and Drag The River – 2/8/08
February 13, 2008
Girls Guns & Glory, Cassavettes and Drag The River played to a sold out crowd at the Middle East Upstairs on Friday, February 8th. It definitely seemed like one of those shows that would have been much better suited for the bigger downstairs room. Drag The River was in town from Fort Collins, Colorado. I hadn’t heard of them before but they ended up being an excellent surprise. Check out their MySpace page to hear what this country rock band sounds like.
The Cassavettes’ next show in Boston is on Saturday, March 1st at the Hard Rock Cafe with Breaking Laces. Girls Guns & Glory will be at The Beachcomber in Quincy on Friday, February 22nd and then upstairs at Hennessey’s on Wednesday, March 5th with Harris and Tiger City.

Photos! Gene Loves Jezebel Upstairs at the Middle East 2/7/08
February 8, 2008
There’s a list of bands I want to see at least once in my lifetime — Gene Loves Jezebel is definitely on that list. The new wave+rock+gothic band is on a U.S. tour that brought them to The Middle East (upstairs) last night. Singer and guitarist Jay Aston owns the rock and roll squawk. They seemed to be having a lot of fun on a stage that is considerably smaller than where they played back in the day. And of course they ended the show with their big 1985 hit “Desire.” Charismatic is an understatement for this band.

Get Out! Static of the Gods video release party at Enormous Room on Thursday February 7th
February 5, 2008
Pop rockers Static of the Gods have a new album in the works. First up is a video release party for “Peluche” at Enormous Room (567 Mass Ave., Central Square, Cambridge) on Thursday, February 7th. The video will be shown throughout the night starting at 8:30. The party also features DJ Boo Boo Danger. It’s 21+ and there’s no cover charge. I think I’ll stop by before heading up the street to the Gene Loves Jezebel/Broken River Prophet show at The Middle East Upstairs.
