After The Lights Out played upstairs at the Middle East, I zoomed over to Harpers Ferry in Allston to see whoever was left to play at that night’s semi-finals of WBCN’s 30th Annual Rock & Roll Rumble. I saw most of Andrea Gillis’ super deluxe high energy performance. Next up was Girls Guns & Glory who played even better than their first round. The band’s cover of Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison got a lot of people in the audience dancing, including Holly from HUMANWINE (who also played earlier that night). After waiting half an hour for the judges to figure out who would advance to the finals, one of the WBCN DJ’s came up on the stage to announce that Girls Guns & Glory won. They’ll be playing on Friday, April 25th at Harpers Ferry along with whoever wins tonight’s semi-finals round plus The Neighborhoods, who won the first WBCN Rock & Roll Rumble thirty years ago.

Here’s a video I took of Girls Guns & Glory covering “Folsom Prison Blues” at Hennessey’s for their Halloween show October 2007.

Photos! Girls Guns & Glory and Rogue Heroes St. Patricks Weekend Concert at Harpers Ferry - March 15th
Posted by Sooz | Filed under Girls Guns & Glory, Photos, band photos, concert photos, rogue heroes, three day threshold
After not seeing any live music for several weeks I made it out for two awesome shows this past weekend. Kier Byrnes and his band Three Day Threshold hosted their 5th Annual St. Patricks Day Hoedown. This year it was at Church (formerly known as the Linwood.) I was trying out my new video camera so I don’t have photos of the show but might get some video up later this week.
On Saturday night, Rogue Heroes and Girls Guns & Glory played a St. Patricks Day (weekend) concert at Harpers Ferry in Allston.

Photos! Girls Guns & Glory, Cassavettes and Drag The River - 2/8/08

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.
Check out the photos from the show on February 8th:
