  • The Gaslight Anthem
    The Gaslight Anthem The Gaslight Anthem. Kommen. Auf Tour. Zu uns. Müssen wir mehr sagen? Eigentlich nicht. Doch eines noch: Am 18 April schrieb die Band auf ihrer Facebook-Seite: „And today we recorded the very last note on our new record...“ Das heißt: Brian Fallon und seine Jungs gehen mit neuen Stücken auf die Reise. Mittlerweile ist durchgesickert, dass das neue Album mit dem Titel „Get Hurt“ am …. August erscheinen wird. Also bleibt genug Zeit um sich die nötige Textsicherheit für die anstehenden Konzerte anzueignen. Zuletzt war es ja etwas ruhiger geworden um das Quartett – im Januar erschienen mit der Compilation „The B-Sides“ und der „Live In London“-DVD (mit dem The-Clash-Cover-Cover) zwei Werke, die sich auf die Vergangenheit bezogen haben. Dieser Rückzug aus der Öffentlichkeit war durchaus geplant, denn Fallon hat sich ganz aus den Medien zurückgezogen, um sich voll auf die Produktion des Nachfolgers von „Handwritten“ zu konzentrieren – und sich Gedanken zu machen über The Gaslight Anthem. Im vergangenen Jahr schrieb er einen nachdenklichen Brief an die Fans. Er wolle nicht mehr wie in der Vergangenheit mit anderen Musikern verglichen werden: „My name isn’t Bruce, it’s not Eddie, or Joe, or Paul either.“ Genauso wenig können die Fans erwarten, dass die Jungs immer wieder das gleiche Konzert spielen. Das sei nicht ehrlich, eine Band entwickle sich, die Band sei nicht mehr dieselbe wie vor zehn Jahren, und jeder Abend ist ein anderer Abend. Was Fallon aber versprach: Dass das kommende Album zu 100 Prozent The Gaslight Anthem ist, dass auf der Bühne immer Menschen stehen werden, die alles geben.

  • Album of the Week: Newish Star's How Soon We Forget,Motif Interviews Sage Francis,Photo Essay: Biters Perform at Fete,Album Of
    Roots Report: Take Me Out of the Ballgame Okee dokee folks … I am going to preface my column by stating that much to my father’s disappointment, I do not like baseball at all. Last week I received a mass e-mail that must have been sent to every musician in the state (they didn’t blind cc the e-mail) from the Pawtucket Red Sox. They asked performers to play before each one of their home games. Sounds like a good gig, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not. It pays peanuts. Actually, it doesn’t pay at all. They only offer a hot dog and general admission to the game that you perform for. You provide your own sound system and play for almost two hours. So, in essence, with set-up, you work about four hours for free, err … for a hot dog. In Motif‘s Oct ’14 issue, I wrote a bit about musicians performing for free. I guess the PawSox didn’t see that column. Before I go on, I have to admit that last year I agreed to go play this gig. Why, you may ask? As I mentioned before, my father is a HUGE baseball fan. He actually tried out for the Red Sox after he got out of the Air Force, but was told that he was too old. He ended up playing softball on Sundays for most of his life — until the artificial hip benched him! I wasn’t crazy about doing the gig. It was kind of sketchy, but they agreed to let me sing the National Anthem before the game.

  • S in a Trance,Album of the Week
    St Vincent Puts Lupo’s In A Trance Photo Credit: Kendra Whitcomb On March 8, at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel, there was something incredible going on. Annie Clark, better known under the moniker St. Vincent, made her presence felt by bringing the noise and leaving everyone in awe. Jenny Hval opened the show with a memorable performance. It was the perfect way to close out the weekend with authority. With a lot of reverb and a trip-hop synth sound, Jenny Hval came on stage to open things up and got all sorts of weird. You had these solid beats setting a groovy tone, but her abstract style had the audience captivated. On stage was a screen that had images like a girl looking as if she was nearly kissing a coil, and there were performance artists — two ladies acting like they were put under a spell while Hval was performing. At one point there was even a dangling banana. It was unique to say the least, but the music was actually pretty rad and Hval has a beautiful voice that serves as an anchor for her craft. With the curtains closed and a robotic voice introducing the show, Clark and the rest of St. Vincent started it off with a noise pop number, “Bring Me Your Loves,” that had me hooked from the start. I was impressed by how much funk and groove they have. While performing “Cruel,” St. Vincent put on an amazing light show while getting crushingly electronic and groovy as hell. I’ll confess, it got me bobbing my head and shaking my hips a bit.

  • The Gaslight Anthem Rock Lupo's to Smithereens
    The Gaslight Anthem Rock Lupo’s To Smithereens Photo credit: Sierra Sant’Anna It’s not every day you get to see a bunch of punks from New Jersey come to Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel and rock the joint, but The Gaslight Anthem did that on Fri, Feb 27. They were joined on tour with fellow New Jersians The Scandals & Canadians Northcote to create a high-octane experience audiences wouldn’t soon forget. A packed house was kicking the weekend off right with a bunch of rock ‘n’ roll, and everyone was excited to see what would ensue. The Scandals have some local ties. Bassist Sean Patrick Carney is a Providence native, so you could have called this show his coming home party. Reminiscent of Hot Water Music & The Bouncing Souls, The Scandals exhibited a riff-heavy sound that set the night right. A blistering set included the songs “Losing Teeth”, “Lucky 7’s” and “Sold On Merit.” Northcote came up next, and they had an interesting mix of pop punk and alternative rock. They tried getting the crowd into it from the get-go, but you couldn’t really feel the energy flowing throughout the room despite their efforts. Northcote was okay, but they just seemed too generic for me to really enjoy them. I appreciated frontman Matt Goud’s heart-on-his-sleeve attitude throughout their set. Other than that, musically Northcote just seemed average when compared to everything else that was going on that night. A portion of the set had Goud performing a couple ballads solo on acoustic guitar, which I actually liked.
