Sneak Peek: SAT 3/13


If you're in Somerville, you could enjoy free beer samples at Ball Square Fine Wines (2pm to 5pm).

Yes, I put a video in the middle of the post. I'm crazy like that.

More coming...

at Church, 69 Kilmarnock St, Boston (Fenway)
$10 / 21+

Powerpop and indie-rock. I dug this video by Vulgarrity; it's a pretty sweet rocker, and the video is a fun, horror-theme where the band is stalked by a killer:


SAT 3/13

The Gilded Splinters, Asa Brebner, Andrea Gillis
at PA's Lounge, 345 Somerville Ave, Somerville (Union Sq)

Asa Brebner is awesome, and he has a new CD. He's going to be meat in a rock/Americana sandwich.

SAT 3/13

8pm
Yoni Gordon and the Goods
at Rosebud Bar & Grill (behind Diner), 381 Summer St, Somerville (Davis Sq)
$5 / 21+

Yes, it starts at 8pm. Not only does Yoni belong in the line of songtastic rockers like Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, and Ted Leo -- you might see some of the crowd jump up and sing with the band for some rock karaoke.

Various Times
USS Halyburton & Frigate Hessen (Germany)
at Charlestown Navy Yard

I saw it in an email, then on a blog with plenty of details, and I checked with the Navy. You can tour US and German naval ships.

Thanks for the link. I went this morning - great tour.

Sure it's cold and damp....but on the bright side - short lines.

Bundle up! It's worth the trip.

Hi Maggie,

After seeing some info in a Jacob Wirth email, you had the best info I found on the web.
