Solo show for the Cibo Matto founder.
The space had an amazing design and aesthetic, the shows are free (although you can pay for seats), the audience size is limited to provide breathing room and space and overall it's the best new club I've been to in 25 years. Looking forward to seeing more shows there in the future.
Bonus: the bar tender was the opener
Miho (pic above) covered a lot of lyrical ground - whales, AI, her mom, and her favorite city.

My favorite punk band...
... plays the coolest music spot I've been to in a while.
In the attic of the oldest bar ever, is a small music space where the bands run the PA and the booking agent has diverse taste.
TS just released their first proper recording "Cognitive Dissidents" which was recorded and mixed in my basement. This is the first time I've seen the band after having REALLY listened to their songs. It was awesome!
The first band was from CT. They covered a lot of genres (emo, punk ,ethereal) which was cool but also did a lot of talking, including talking about how they are just going to get right to the music and not talk. HA. Drummer was gnarly though. Lots of open handed grooves. They also did a Napalm Death "You Suffer"-like song, 3 seconds of grind. Wasn't actually that song but still cool.
Second band, Bricks of Boston, really needs to give up on the guitar driven rock and just do OI covers and originals. Bass player had an Orange amp and wore a TS shirt.
Terminal Stereo was awesome. Super tight playing and it was a blast actually knowing the songs!
The last band had an insane drummer who got all of his cymbals to jump off their stands during each song.
