Garage Band Weekend starts tonight! We have a huge line-up of some of our favorite Boston garage bands, including some new bands we can't wait to hear. What's a garage band? Wild & wooly, raw, obscure, trashy, lo-fi, roots-based forms, such as '60s (and '60s-influenced) garage rock, surf/instrumental rock'n'roll, hot rod, frat rock, rockabilly, lounge/exotica, broken blues, greasy soul, R&B, funk, mod, freakbeat, psychedelic rock, '70s proto punk/rock'n'roll, powerpop, punk rock, hard-edged new wave, art-damaged noise rock, '80s garage/surf revival, swamp rock, psychobilly, modern garage punk and noisy, primitive rock'n'roll.
Can you imagine anything more awesome?
Nine bands total, $10 a night, it's a music festival in a bottle. Music tonight and tomorrow starts at 9pm. (Keep reading for the full schedule of who's when.)
On Sunday we've got Turbulence and the Dis n' Dat Band playing the 4pm slot for a little hit of reggae to round out the weekend. It's very possible a whole heap of people will forget to go to work on Monday because they didn't see the Casuals on Sunday. Don't fret, they'll be back next week and the order of the Universe will be restored.
On Thursday June 10 we have the second annual Pan-Mass Fund Raiser Clam Jam - back by popular demand! A $25 donation gets you music and food and lots of both. Kids under 10 are free until 8pm. Everyone's pitching in and donating their time and talents because the thought of riding a bicycle across the state makes some of our heads explode so we're all doing what we can.
We'll be serving fried clams, clam chowder, raw bar, steamers, steamed little necks, boneless wings, kids chicken fingers and salad. That's the clam part. The jam part starts at 4pm with the Elbows, followed by the Rip it Ups at 6pm, Randy and the Oak Trees at 7:15pm and Squidda at 8:30. It's going to be a party. This much we know for sure.
