Photos of Dear Leader and Hallelujah The Hills at the Paradise Rock Club

Four albums later and I finally saw Dear Leader live at the Paradise Rock Club on January 16th. I loved Aaron Perrino’s previous band, The Sheila Divine so I’m not sure why it took me so long to see his not-really-so-new-anymore band, Dear Leader. If you need one sentence to describe them, it’s this: epic arena rock you can dance to.

The Paradise Rock Club is my favorite spot for live music in Boston. There are three levels to see the bands and no matter where you’re standing or sitting, the sound is outstanding. It was great to see three Boston bands playing there on a Friday night. Check out the photo album below of Faces on Film, Hallelujah The Hills and Dear Leader.

Photos of Hallelujah The Hills at TT The Bear’s

Here are some of the concert photos I snapped of Ryan Walsh and his band Hallelujah The Hills at TT The Bear’s on 10/29/08. I had been meaning to see them for a very long time. (Yes, I know, it took me long enough.) The biggest reason I love this band is because they have fun on stage without the typical indie pop/rock pretentiousness.

You can download Hallelujah The Hill’s music on their website for free and then you can buy it to show your support. Here’s “Let It Wave” off of the April 2008 EP Prepare To Quality.
