Saw Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats a few weeks back here in Boston. Show was amazing, great play selection across their spectrum of albums. The opener act was Ruby the Hatchet, never heard of em but they were fucking ripping shit live. Amazing guitar and drum work. Really glad I burnt one on the walk over too, melted into their groove immediately on entering.
Caught Yo La Tengo on a mellow acoustic set this past Saturday, really awesome. Their shows are great, and there's a huge spectrum of young and old folks there, really great vibes.
Shannon & The Clams is on my radar in a few weeks, best way to start a work week is with a live act.
