I’ve been in Boston for about six months and somehow found the balls to call Boston’s music scene shitty or something like that. I think it’s because they don’t have a sixth street setting. Instead they have a few clubs; the main ones that feature more independent acts seem to be TT the Bear’s (Central Square), The Middle East (Central Square), The Paradise (Boston, Comm Ave), and Great Scott (Allston). This isn’t any bands’ fault but I still maintain that Boston should have a centralized live music district being the sort of “capital” of New England, a region that is seemingly very supportive of local bands.
Over time I’ve found a few local bands that I really like but are on tour, not really playing shows anymore, etc. Here’s one I just found called Who Shot Hollywood. They don’t even know when they’re playing next. Ugh.
