Novakoi // The White Bear Principle // Robot Food // The Love Shamans
Wednesday, July 19, 2023 at Silhouette Lounge
The Love Shamans know how to put together a pop tune. If robots eat, do robots Yelp? Don’t park in the Burger King lot, your car will be towed.
The Worst // Tysk Tysk Task // Psych Ward Disco
Friday, July 14, 2023 at Midway Cafe
Mark your calendars for Tysk Tysk Task at the Midway. The Lowell grunge rockers bring their enhanced lineup and raucous energy to the Jamaica Plain watering hole. And The Worst isn’t the worst!
The Electric Aces // Jean Paul Jean Paul
Friday, July 7, 2023 at Midway Cafe
Get a sneak preview of Jean Paul Jean Paul before they take the stage at Nice, A Fest in late July. And wowza! Is a member of these bands a graphic designer? This show poster looks awesome!
FEEP // Blanket Approval (NY) // Sly Fang
Monday, July 3, 2023 at the Silhouette Lounge
Did you catch FEEP at the notorious living room lamp gig? If not, Monday night at the Sil is your chance to punch your FEEP card. No promises regarding room decor, but the indie groove of New York’s Blanket Approval is sure to keep the night stylish. Bill the Bartender and Sly Fang to boot.
Lurid Purple Flowers / Zigmont / David Rubin Band / The Skrims
Saturday, July 1, 2023 at Midway Cafe
Lurid Purple Flowers go light on the stage banter, heavy on the rock. It’s all business from the get go. David Rubin is no stranger to the Jamaica Plain dive, appearing regularly with the Jerry Garcia Band tribute band Diamond Blues. That might sound needlessly recherche (it’s all wavy gravy, right?), but they’ve got to distinguish themselves from the other Grateful Dead extended universe band that performs on Friday nights. Long strange trip aside, what does David Rubin Band sound like?
