Head over to Precinct in Somerville's Union Square tonight for a night of face-melting experimental psych rock. Local super-group Concord Ballet Orchestra Players will kick off the night followed by SUNRAM (they were the deli's artist of the month in July). Then from Japan, there's the latest project by Masami Kawaguchi: New Rock Syndicate. Last, but not least, expect to be blown away by Boston's Major Stars. Concord Ballet Orchestra Players (playing first at 8:30) SUNRAM (members of Ghost Box Orchestra) New Rock Syndicate (Masami Kawaguchi [...]

Sorry for not having the Graboid up last week, but I've included those releases ( Spoon , Surfer Blood , Editors ) in with the already incredibly amount of great releases that are available this week. So much good amazing stuff to choose from, that one would be hard-pressed to decide where to spend their hard-earned cash. Two albums that I'm extremely excited about and will surely be picking up at some point this week are Beach House's awe-inspiring third album Teen Dream and The Magnetic Fields' [...]
As far as my ears are concerned, yesterday was the first major multi-album new music release day of 2010, so it's past time for my annual list of what I'm looking forward to in the months ahead. I've included albums with solid dates, some with ballpark estimates, a few that are mere whispers on the wind. Oh, and a couple of pure fantasies. A boy can dream, can't he?Keep in mind, this is not even

Boston avant/doom/metal underlords Major Stars -- the band in which your favorite Twisted Villagers lay aside the skronk and get in tune with their inner 17-year-old, Schlitz-drinking, Camaro-driving, Sabbath-t-shirt-wearing headbanger -- have been added to the next All Tomorrow's Parties shindig by ATP curator/WesternMass resident Thurston Moore, joining a lineup that already includes Iggy and the Stooges, the Mark Arm version of DKT/MC5, Wolf Eyes, Gang of Four, Negative Approach, Be Your Own Pet, and fellow Bay Staters Dinosaur Jr, [...]
