First would be another phenomenal night at the Monday night open Jam Session at the Rhumbline with War is Over by John & Yoko as a last song by the Bandit Kings, a great Gloucester band, that among many other proud feats, host Monday night jams, has a new CD with fresh originals. This band does a killer cover of Kiss Off by the V Femmes that should be seen by everyone at LEAST once!
Also went to their CD release party in Cambridge at TT the Bears & saw em w/ 3 other great bands!
Friday, for the 2nd time I caught Jenny Dee & the Delinquents and MAN was I glad I did. This is one smoking 1960s style girl band that does covers without apology & originals that can set things on fire!
I don't have anything current to point to, but here's an older video of Christmas Baby Please, Come Home. Heed this, it'll take a couple of seconds to get used to the poor YouTube sound quality, but I promise, it's worth it!
Last Saturday I saw F-Bomb at Camerons: a heavy band that I dug a lot. The best numbers for me were, Let the Bodies Hit the Floor (a version that would have put Benny Hinn to shame) & the Cult of Personality, by the Cult. I'd wished they'd had done some heavy punk because the guy had a great voice to do the Offspring, but I got none. Still, they were incredible.
On December 8th for the 30th anniversary of John's death, Dan King & Fly Amero did a John Lennon tribute, at the same place.
Believe it or not, I'm happy to say that those are only the highlights of the music I've heard here in the last couple of months. There's good music here every night of the week at one place or another. Most nights you have several great choices!
