Ed Palermo's Big Band at the Seaport
2008-06-11 16:00:00 Now that the head is back down to relatively bearable, sitting on the pier and listening to some live jazz from Ed Palermo's Big Band perfoming the music of Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck, Cannonball Adderley, Neil Young, Duke Ellington and more seems like a nice treat. Jazz in the big band style is a site to behold, beyond the free-flowing intamacy you get from a trio or quartet, these larger ensambles - 15+ in this case - come with a unique power and intensity. Highly composed sections run remenicent of classical music yet the improvisational swing of jazz is still present. Tonight's a great chance to catch it sans the $25+ cover charge you'd usually pay. And if you like what you hear, make sure you check out the Mingus Big Band who play Tuesdays at the Iridium. It will blow you away. All Ages. Read More...Digg this | Email to a friend | Reddit

Their art-school approach set them apart from brasher contemporaries, where they expanded the sonic boundaries of not just punk, but rock music in general. From R.E.M., the Cure and Guided by Voices to Minor Threat and Black Flag, from Blur and the birth of Britpop up until Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party, Wire?s influence has been one of most significant in the past 30 years."

Prior to their departure to Egypt, Kosovo and many other destinations, these bands will perform in Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola.

Frank Hoier at the Sidewalk
2008-04-18 16:00:00 The Sidewalk Café is always a good look if you're into anti-folk, neo-american songbook, or singer-songwriter stylings in general. For years, performers like Beck, The Moldy Peaches, and others have been breaking in there. It's always free with a 2 drink minimum but - lets be honest - it's friday and you're thirsty. Tonight is no exception as "Modern Folk/Blues post Beatles songwriter" Frank Hoier takes the stage early (10pm sharp) with his update of American folk music. Its a little bit revolutionary, a little bit front porch at sunset, and 100% heartfelt. He's followed by Feral Foster - an "American Songster with a sound similar to a downbound train gargling whiskey and gravel, with a fury that rivals most 5 piece bands" - and Peter Nevis and his "Avant Garde 1920's Bouzouki pop performed in dignified attire."
