New England Product: Robby Roadsteamer, and upcoming local shows!

New England Product — Wed, 13 May 2009 21:57:00 GMT

Last weekend was quite an eventful one. We hung out with Taxpayer for the majority of it. Thursday (5/7) was the second installment of our New Alliance Sessions. Everybody had a blast and we’ll be sharing some of those recordings with you next week. On Friday, we got our dance on at The Pill, and then Saturday we returned to Great Scott for The Everyday Visuals’ CD release party. I’ll be posting some pictures from those GS shows soon.

On Sunday, Robby Roadsteamer and Nikki from Where the Land Meets the Sea joined Dave and me in the studio. Robby and Nikki have started a new band called Super Time Pilot, and they stopped by to bless us with live renditions of some tunes from their upcoming release as well as Robby’s last one, I Solved Every Miniquest.

New England Product: The Everyday Visuals, and upcoming shows!

New England Product — Wed, 06 May 2009 20:45:00 GMT

Happy hump day, New England Product darlings. I hope this surprisingly sunny day finds you well. It finds me stealing wireless from a local bar, where I’m nursing a Cinco de Hangover with an endless supply of diet coke.

Recently, Dave and I were joined in the studio by The Everyday Visuals. In between slamming cans of Red Bull Cola and daring us to do other stupid things around the studio, Kyle and Christopher discussed their new self-titled album. They are celebrating its release on Saturday, 5/9 at Great Scott with Taxpayer and Tiny Animals. I really can’t say enough about how great these guys are live, so just trust me and check it out. You can also check out some of their videos and MP3s at www.jilliansara.com.

New England Product - Upcoming local shows!

New England Product — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 06:20:00 GMT

Hello my favorite Products of New England! This NEP update is coming to you a bit later in the week than usual, because I just got my computer back from the repair shop this evening. Luckily, it is running better than it has in a really long time, and I even got my X key replaced… making it much easier to type things like “WFNX” and “Sandbox.”

I hope you’ll forgive me now for throwing in a little shameless self promotion. I recently started my very own website. “One in a Million Media” is a blog of music, videos, images, and more. I’ve been lucky enough to receive a bunch of exclusive features from both local and national acts. I’d love for you all to check it out and let me know what you think! http://jilliansara.com

And now, of course, what you’re waiting for… THE WEEK IN LOCAL ROCK! Luckily, the beginning of this week was pretty quiet. Or maybe I was just oblivious, due to my lack of computer. Moving on.

Thurs., 4/23

Harper’s Ferry - Hooray For Earth, Faces on Film, Deer Tick

The Middle East Corner – Leo Blais

Copperfield’s - All These Kings, Into the Presence (members of Priums and A Perfect Circle

New England Product: This Week in Local Rock (4/13/09)

New England Product — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:59:00 GMT

Happy Passover/Easter/assorted other Springtime holidays, New England Products! I hope you feasted on tons of chocolate and cute baby animals. I’m not sure why we celebrate religious holidays with gluttony, but it works for me.

Last night, Dave Duncan and I were joined in the studio by Harris. Normally, it makes us incredibly happy to hang with the Harris dudes. However, the reason for their visit this week is to tell us about their final show. While this is a tragic occurrence, it’s sure to be a fantastic show. Make sure you’re at the Middle East Downstairs next Saturday 4/18 to say goodbye to Harris, welcome back to Scamper (it’s their reunion show), and hello to Jericho Trumpet (if you haven’t already). Tickets are $10 in advance and are available at the Middle East box office and ticketmaster.com. I recommend buying them in advance, as it is VERY likely this show will sell out.

New England Product — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:37:00 GMT

New England Product: Please help this local band! Upcoming events...

New England Product — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:14:00 GMT

My dear Products of New England, I have to admit: I have no sense of time or the calendar. I’m still blaming daylight savings time, but I woke up today and realized I owed you a blog.

First off, our dear friends in Thick as Thieves recently were robbed. Two pieces of equipment with great sentimental value were stolen, and the guys are absolutely heartbroken. There is no way they could put a dollar figure on the value of this gear, but they are willing to provide a reward for information leading to its return.

This guitar originally belonged to one of their fathers. It’s a '72 era Gibson SG Deluxe w/ a Bigsby tremolo..

Marshall 1976 50 watt Super Lead. The only thing unique that a thief wouldn't know off the bat is the fact that the ohm selector switch on the back is hard-wired to be in one position (not sure which - whatever ohms you need to run a single 4x12 cab) The lettering of Marshall is not complete and chipped off in the center.

If you have any information on this missing gear, please e-mail Aaron at forwordslost at gmail.com.

Now onto some happier news, upcoming events!

Thurs., 3/19

Great Scott - TAB the Band, Casey Desmond

Privus Lounge - Privus 1st Anniversary Party! Zak Broman and Michael V from the Pill will be spinning, there will be a fantastic runway show and visuals. And of course, delicious sushi.

Fri., 3/20

Middle East Upstairs - Common Thrill, The Energy, Hello Mahalo

Great Scott - The Pill, featuring The Toothaches

The Old Court (Lowell) - Apple Betty

Sat., 3/21

O’Brien’s - Lindsey Starr & The Chemical Smiles (debut show), Karen Barnicle, David Jackel, DJ Ken

Bill’s Bar - Air Traffic Controller

Great Scott - Township, Cropduster, Trucker Mouth

The Middle East Upstairs - Captain Cutthroat, The Force, Planetoid, The Andwutz, The Few

As you can see, you’ve got lots of choices for where to go and what to do this weekend. When it’s all done and you’re recuperating on Sunday, don’t forget to tune in to WFNX, when Dave Duncan will be bringing you the best of new local rock from 11 – midnight.

See you then.

Happy Oscar week, NE Products. I hope you’re staying warm and cozy, counting down the days til spring. It’s a good thing February is so short.

New England Product: This week in local music. Happy 2009!

New England Product — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:38:00 GMT

Happy New Year, products and transplants of New England! How did you celebrate the end of '08? I had the unfortunate experience of ringing in 2009 with the flu, as did just about everybody I know. Dave Duncan one-upped us by contracting both the last recorded of 2008 and first recorded of 2009 case of strep throat, though, so I guess I shouldn't complain. We still managed to rally, though, and spent the first moments of the new year with great friends. I hope you had the same experience - the partying, not the sickness.

Now that the holidays are over, we're back to having loads of local shows for you to spend your gift money on. Too bad gift cards aren't typically given for PBRs...

Upcoming local shows, week of 1/4/08

Tues., 1/6

Your television: Bang Camaro on Conan O'Brien (12:35 AM, NBC)! Tune in to show your favorite local man-band some support!
