Bishop & Rook is proud to co-host Night #3 of the Boston Scene Party Showcase, happening Monday, September 14th at Charlie’s Kitchen in Harvard Square ($8/21+/9PM). Part of the 3-night, 3-venue affair, Boston Scene Party has collaborated with independent music bloggers, promoters, labels and bands to present a showcase demonstrating our diverse music scene. The scene is in session this September!
It's the most wonderful time of the year. Do617 is teaming up with PBR and Allston Village Main Streets to throw a Block Party in celebration of everyone's favorite Boston "holiday," Allston Christmas.
The first-annual Allston Christmas Block Party will be held on Labor Day at the new POP Allston pop-up community space, is 100% free and all-ages, and will feature performances by SKATERS, Michael Christmas, Dirty Fences, CREATUROS, and IAN. Pabst Blue Ribbon x Boston will offer $2 beers, Polar will quench your thirst with water and soda, and Roxy's Grilled Cheese provides delicious grilled cheeses, and fries! DJ Kidd Drunkadelic spins the summertime jams while Orchard hosts demos in the building's two-floor skate park.
A combination of electronic and psychedelic rock, Ian Aware (alias of singer/songwriter Kenny Gray) has released his debut self-titled EP. The self-produced, eclectic 4-track record with touches of shoegaze, funk and rockabilly features Gray as the primary musician, although expect a full band at live shows.
Ian Aware’s S/T EP is available for free (at a name your price donation) on Bandcamp. Follow him on Facebookfor show alerts.
