Tuesday is as Tuesday does here in Boston...its been a good morning so far, and the day holds promise for the hours to come. I left last week with excitement for the Limbeck Band show, and I come to you today riding still on the wave of lovely lovely times had at The Middle East. The opening bands weren't bad for what they were...which were opening bands. House of Fools pulled some toe-tappin S. Carolina rock, which prepped the scene for The Travelin' Limbeck Bands S. California breed of shoulder-shakin jams. This kic
ks of what's going to be a Spring filled with one dance band after another...Spring Break yields three shows in one week - Bad Manners being supported by The Allsotonians (some two-tone ska for midweek skankin), followed by The Honorary Title (Indie-rock duo that promises to pull on my heartstrings) and finishing with the icing on the cake...Tilly and The Wall! If you don't produce smiles with the sounds of Tilly, you're not appreciating the finer things in life.
Later in the season, The Aggrolites will grace The Middles East downstairs. Aggro is one of the top reggae acts this side of the Atlantic, and it will be their ultra-funk dirty reggae that will fill anticipations until mid-April. Plus, there are rumors of Toots and The Maytals playing the Paradise Rock Club (2 nights worth!), which will be the highlight of the semester! Toots Hibbert is the premiere survivor of reggae's golden age, with decades of performing under his belt, this will kick off spring in true Moon-Stompin' Fashion!
With all this music flowing around, I've had to buckle down on some serious thesis work. With only one month to go before my final draft is due, it's crunch time! Things are right on track, and I am more than looking forward to getting this year long project off my hands as to allow myself to focus on the uber-pertinent matter or securing an occupation come summer's end.
Life is good, Manchester United is on point to take the top of the Premiership table, by the lead of the Rinhaldo/Rooney powerhouse...and summer=frisbee is right around the corner!
