It felt a bit like coming home, coming home to Boston. A city I spent a whole year in and has such a very special place in my heart. So to see this band, from my “hometown” play my new hometown and make it an absolute party was pretty special! The chanting of “Let’s go,…

It was a late and sweaty one at Dingwalls this Wednesday. London had been a scorcher for a few days and the non-existence of air conditioning and proper insulation turns basically all building in the UK into a sauna. In any case, that would be annoying. For a punk gig at Dingwalls it just made…

So. Reading. My back hurts, I don’t know how people do this for a whole weekend! But somehow even if on the train back you want nothing more than your bed, you’re still happy. There’s something about festivals that leaves you no option but to be joyful and slightly Hippie. It may be the idea…
Read MoreLet me start off by saying, I doubt the KOKO has ever been rocked the way it was rocked last night. Beatsteaks are a German punk rock band from Berlin and usually German bands, no matter how good, don’t really make it outside the country (except for Rammstein and the Scorpions). It is not much…

This was the first gig at Brooklyn Bowl I went to when I no longer worked there, so it was a weird but wonderful experience. I’ve always loved the venue, it has amazing sound and fits just the right amount of people. Plus there’s bowling, what more could you want?! I hadn’t seen either of…
