The Series

Man, is it hot

2009-08-18T09:31:00.000-07:00

Sounds & pictures from last night's Double Awake performance are up, and the next few weeks are looking really stellar: Noell Dorsey's doing a solo vocal show next week, Chris Strunk & Ricardo Donoso are having a percussion battle rematch the week after, and then Brendan Murray swoops in for a miasma of drone to kick off September. So if you've been thinking about making a trip down for a Monday night show, now's a prime time to get on it.

It all goes up

2009-08-04T09:30:00.000-07:00

You can now hear a bit of last night's Animal Hospital show, as well as a bonus tidbit from the Graveyards instore that took place on Sunday. Looks like Martin from Reports will be booking shows for October too. Yay for all!

B&B, Animal Hospital

2009-07-28T04:09:00.000-07:00

Benny & Brandon were great last night- the chord organ had such present, feathery tones! Sound files & pictures are up. Finally got the store phone fixed, so that the photo capabilities are a little better- but I'm taking the photos, so they're still blurry. Next week: Animal Hospital kicks off a month of shows curated by the esteemed Chris Strunk.

Goat, Harris, August

2009-07-14T07:47:00.000-07:00

Well, I spaced out posting last week, but files & pix from last night's fantastic Goat of Arms show, as well as last Monday's performance from Dan Harris, are up for your perusal. Chris Strunk is taking over the booking duties in August, so should be some insane stuff coming down the pike over the next few weeks. Next Monday I've got Josh Friedman coming down from Vermont with his heavy swirls of bombastic Blue Cheer stoner guitar. Josh is a longtime Weirdo customer & I can't wait to hear his project, Black Beauty.

Streight Angular & more

2009-06-23T08:59:00.000-07:00

Sound files & pictures are up from last night's show are up, and all the upcoming dates for July are nailed down & perusable on the Weirdo page here. Lots of good times await!

Ben & Alise

2009-06-16T19:00:00.000-07:00

Sound files from last night's intimate & comfy performance are now up here. That Hohner organ sure wheezed somethin' fine. Pix & more July dates to be nailed down shortly.

Norton solo

2009-06-05T09:45:00.000-07:00

Successfully roped Steve Norton into promising that he'd display a piece he worked up for his recent tour at Weirdo on June 29th. Should be a laser-focused dip into solo reeds & can't wait, so make plans to attend now.

Thanks,

Angela

Peyote Feminist

2009-06-02T12:56:00.000-07:00

And the winner is... A smokeout of psychedelic haze from longtime Boston gents Don Harney, Ron Gittens, Sam Wheeler, plus the one & only Buzz Gundersen (aka the Absurder). They'll be taking the floor at Weirdo this coming Monday June 8th. It's sure to provide some serious liftoff, so don't miss.

Sound Fountain

2009-06-02T09:23:00.001-07:00

Vic Rawlings' Sound Fountain was as transcendent as expected, & pealed forth amazing 50s reverb to all comers. There's some blurry pix & sound files up here. Next week's guest is still a mystery, so if you want it to be YOU, now's the time to speak up!

Thanks,

Angela

2009-05-26T16:37:00.000-07:00

Malcy Duff blew on & squeaked with his comic book last eve, & there's a sound file & pic up here. Whatever you do, you won't wanna miss Vic Rawlings' sound fountain next week. Think it's debut may be a full 3 years in the making....

Thanks,

Ang

the very latest

2009-05-19T11:07:00.000-07:00

Mini-Epicureans last eve, which basically means Dave Gross rubbing his sax up against some perfectly grown stubble. Sounded grand. Hear a bit of the set here.Or just check out all the neat little shows coming up.

Thanks,

Angela

new sound files, new dates

2009-05-12T08:34:00.000-07:00

Hear the purrs, pops & burnished tones of Josh Jefferson's sax from last night's show, or check out what's coming by visiting here. I wonder what it'll take to convince Sam & Chris to really do that faux sound poetry project they were joking about?

The Epicureans will be squishing their way into Weirdo next Monday, so get off your duff & stop by.

Thanks,

Angela

Find out what you missed

2009-05-05T09:42:00.000-07:00

Sounds & pix are up from last eve's Jonny Cohen performance (which was fantastic, what a songwriter!). And there's some more info about what's coming in the future as well. Just visit here for all the snoots.

Thanks much,

Angela

Bonnertronix Sound Files Up

2009-04-21T07:57:00.000-07:00

Last eve's show was quite grand. Steve Bonner & Peter Gumaskas took over the shop with a wall full of patch bays & knob-covered boxes. Steve also had a Samsonite briefcase full of old calculator buttons that looked like a bomb from some 60s spy movie. You can hear a few sound files & see a blurry pic from my phone camera at http://weirdorecords.com/cpCommerce/document.php?id_document=31
