Live at O’Briens Pub in Boston, Massachusetts USA *July 19th 2025* There have been a few instances of being totally enthralled in a live band and charged up and energized by their sound and performance. When this happens, I feel like I’m in an altered state of consciousness. Slomosa had this effect on me (review here). My wife and I...
Live at MGM Music Hall /Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts USA *June 11th 2025* My friend Sam and his wife Natalie invited me to go see Queens Of The Stone Age in Boston this past Wednesday night. It has been nearly 22 years since I saw the band live. It was in support of their classic 2002’s Songs For The Deaf...
Live at The Widowmaker Brewery in Brighton , Massachusetts USA *May 16th 2025* This past Friday night, I went to a show at the Widowmaker Brewery in Brighton, Massachusetts. The night started off a little rough because I drove to the wrong location (in Braintree). I ended missing the opening band but luckily arrived in Brighton, just as Sundrifter was...
Live at The Shaskeen Pub in Manchester, New Hampshire USA *May 3rd 2025* It’s been quite a while (a few years) since I went to a show at the Shaskeen Pub in Manchester, New Hampshire. Worshipper, Dust Prophet, Sundrifter, and The Forest Forgets are the four bands on tonight’s bill. I was psyched for a local show and it’s only...
Live at The Widowmaker Brewery in Braintree, Massachusetts USA *April 18th 2025* Last night I went to an excellent show at the Widowmaker Brewery in Braintree, Massachusetts.

Live at The Middle East (Upstairs) in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA *April 9th 2025* This is another last minute show that I decided to attend. Being on a Wednesday night and having to work the next morning, it’s always a tough decision to go. However, I really wanted to see the band Hashtronaut, from Denver, Colorado and this was my best...
Live at The Marigold Theater in East Hampton, Massachusetts USA *March 22nd 2025* I almost thought twice about going to this show. The two hour drive to get there wasn’t too appealing after a long week. However, I definitely made the right choice. Heavy Trip from Vancouver, BC in Canada blew my mind when I heard their latest release, Liquid...
Live at The Paradise Rock Club in Boston, Massachusetts , USA *March 20th 2025* This past Thursday night, my wife and I drove down to Boston to see Norway’s Slomosa play at the iconic Paradise Rock Club.

Live at The Middle East(upstairs) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA *December 7th 2024* The final rock show for me this year happened on Saturday night at a very familiar location.

Live at Deep Cuts in Medford, Massachusetts, USA *November 22nd 2024* Deep Cuts in Medford, Massachusetts is about an hour and ten minute drive from where I live. I have never been to this particular club before and was excited about this show. The drive to the place was no problem, it was close off of the highway and easy...
