Oh, Orca. I did not think I could get much more excited than the imagery of Mission of Burma in close proximity to Famous Ray's, but you had to then bring up KATZ DELICATESSEN!!!!
My goodness, and all the "Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army" imagery.
Excuse me for a few moments....

... sounds like a sound-bite from Cheech and Chong's WEDDING ALBUM.

both places are so so dead right now, unless you count the endless armies of hipster idiots. maybe its just me though, but there was a period in the early 90's when i was going back and forth between the two cities watching band after amazing band. DRESDEN DOLLS ON JIMMY KIMMEL TONIGHT!
me, i just wanna move to the mountains.
& what sort of fool compares anything to NYC. whats next, 2% milk verus pure uncut heroin? the amazon river versus a puddle of piss?

Well, the lack of good bands in Boston does give me confidence in my music!
Worchester seems to have a lot of Noize stuff going on.
Also, thanks for the Dresden Dolls tip kephm....

Forced exposure should open a shop here, or at least merge with Twisted Village.

The BraveryThe Bravery are New York's latest coolest band and they're making their TV debut on Later. Their band name & songs are born out of the post 9/11 fear ridden NYC.
Does this band have a reputation back in NYC or they just a bunch of lucky chancers with good management?

Seemingly having come out of nowhere, they've pretty much knocked the City upside its unsuspecting head with their four week sold out standing room only residency at Arlene's Grocery
Which says everything, I suppose. I've never heard of them. I'm going to assume they're the kind of bland band that has the right haircuts, get's hyped, get's on Conan and has a record deal before anyone actually listens to the music. Then everyone will forget about them in a year. It happens all the time.

I heard a Bravery track today on BBC 6 Music sounded a bit generic dancey-punkfunk-rock circa 2002 - like an inferior version of Radio 4.

and there are 10 or 12 seats/barstools scattered about, so you've got to bring in AT LEAST A DOZEN PEOPLE before it truly becomes standing room only. do that four times in a row and you too can have a major label deal.

I'm looking at you Dropkick Murphys (and to a lesser extent, House of Pain).

fresh from selling out the Lion's Den twice....
last seen filling the Continental to the rafters...
How come I had no idea you moved to Boston?
New York's loss...I saw Terry Riley and Michael Harrison perform for prepared and just intonated pianos in the back of a piano store a few weeks ago. We need more minimalist keyboardists...

Right?
PS, How many noteworthy Boston bands consist of actual Bostonians (or at least Mass. residents) vs. how many noteworthy New York band consist of actual New Yorkers (or at least NY residents)?

which, I think it's clear from the illustration, is the finest place for the rock and roll music.
