I've been waiting for this week since the middle of August when I updated my calender and watched concerts with perfect line ups stack up. This week is tremendous, not to mention filled with some of the best local talent this city has to offer. I'm choosing the local shows over the slightly bigger names all week. I'm most excited for Friday-Sunday. Go see a show! Monday 9/19 Frazey Ford with Whitehorse at Club Passim [...]

It started pouring rain when we got there and didn't stop [...]

Mean Creek - The Land Of Hopes & Dreams Boston-based rock quartet Mean Creekis releasing a new single titled "The Land of Hopes & Dreams." The track was recorded here in Boston at 1867 Recording Studio.

It's a great pounding track that is sure to dazzle fans. The single was released on Mean Creek's Bandcamp page and you can download it for free. [...]

The Deli New England caught up with Mean Creek 's Mikey Holland recently. He told us all about what's on the horizon for their new album, what it was like playing SXSW, and how inspiring it was to hit the road with Buffalo Tom. FYI: Mean Creek will be playing with Hands and Knees , Fedavees , and Banditas at Great Scott this Saturday, May 28th. I've heard that interviews are all about atmosphere, so it is with some regret (or perhaps great consideration and forethought, [...]

Day four of SXSW, the last hurrah. SXSW is always a manically insane event but the sheer volume of bands and vendors and mobs of 'fans' just looking for a free drink was overwhelming this year. I mean, any year people end up getting tazed at a Death from Above 1979 show you got to [...]
The ground is starting to thaw and the air is getting back that moist smell of mud and life. Spring is (almost) here. We made it. Now here are some tunes to help you shake off the lingering effects of hibernation... My music listening habits tend to follow seasonal trends and, true to form, in Spring my musical palette expands to embrace the vibrancy of the season. Lush pop sounds and grand statements are what I gravitate towards, and you'll see that reflected in the Spring Mixtape. Following the arc of spring, Side [...]
