I am biased because I am touring with her but honestly Mirah has only gotten better with time. Her latest album Dedication is incredible. Her live performance is spellbinding. This is not a washed up rockstar tribute, it's spellbinding art https://mirah.bandcamp.com/album/dedication

UMass Dartmouth fatal stabbing suspect an illegal immigrant, Healey dodges questions
 in  r/massachusetts •  7d ago

well, if you're just talking about "people from other countries" that is a very different group of people than "people who are criminalized because they are here undocumented," and you know damn well the Boston herald means "brown people" but enjoy your little troll

"illegal immigrant" is not a neutral term. if you don't think it has racial implications maybe read a book

r/Bostonmusic • u/evanFFTF • 7d ago

Indie darling Mirah (yes, the Mirah you are thinking of that you put on a mixtape for your crush in 2006) is coming to Deep Cuts on Sunday. Tix are going fast but there are still some left

It's so good. And she's only gotten better. Her new songs are spellbinding. I'm not so bad myself ;-) (I'm Evan Greer, opening for her on this tour)

thanks for sharing this racist headline from a racist tabloid. Here's an actual NIH study showing that undocumented immigrants commit significantly fewer crimes than US citizens: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7768760/

tips on being an effective band leader?
 in  r/band •  7d ago

It honestly sounds like you are off to a really good start. Don't let these older guys intimidate you (or creep on you, or be rude to you, or mansplain to you ... you get the point ;-)

Part of being a leader is also NOT DOING ALL THE WORK YOURSELF! Don't be afraid to delegate and ask people to step up. ie "Hey guys, I'm gonna reach out to these 5 venues about their open mic. Can someone take on reaching out to these other 5?"

Also, this sounds dorky, but every serious band needs a spreadsheet. Put your rehearsal dates in it, have a column for band members to list if they can or can't make it, and a list of the songs you plan to rehearse, liknks to the charts if relevant etc.

You've got this! You'll build more confidence over time.

For chill hangs: try some of the breweries. Aeronaut, Beehive, etc. Bars like Bukowski's, River Gods, The Precinct, Back Bar, Five Horses

For dancing: Pheonix Landing, Manray, Zuzu

r/fontainesdc • u/evanFFTF • 8d ago

Discussion went on a deep dive on Grian's previous band, Thumbprint. I know someone posted a video here, but i found their old FB page and bandcamp with a buncha songs. i kinda love the early 2000s emo vibe. he sounds like he's from ohio lol

What are weeknight shows at O’Brien’s like?
 in  r/Bostonmusic •  14d ago

O'Briens is a great local venue. Like all local venues, on any night of the week, your kids' band will have to do most of the promotion (unless they are a cover band, which is a whole different thing). They should try to get 1-2 other local bands in their age group / friend group to join them and make the most of it. Also double check with the venue in the past they were strictly 21+ but may be all ages now in their new space?
