This Week in Boston

It's a killer week for live music in Boston. Check this out:

Monday - July 16
Elizabeth Cook with Tim Carroll at Club Passim in Cambridge. I wrote about Cook a few days ago. I'm really looking forward to this show. Tickets are $15 at the door.

Tuesday - July 17
I went to your school and I did my detention, but the walls were so gray I couldn't pay attention.
That's right, one of my top five live bands is in town Tuesday night. The Hold Steady at the Royale! Tickets are $20. And it's going to be hotter than balls tomorrow in Boston (seriously, record high temps expected), so it may be double whiskey, Coke, double ice for me.

Wednesday - July 18
1. My homeboy Kasey Anderson is in Boston!!! He's bringing his band The Honkies to Cafe 939. The Wandas and The Rationales also perform - both of these highly rated bands are local to Boston and both have free stuff on their websites.

2. Not a gig, but movies!!! The Brattle theater is having a double feature of Color Me Impressed: a Film About the Replacements (6:45 screening) and What Did You Expect? Archers of Loaf Live at Cat's Cradle. The double feature is $15, or each show is $10. The Replacements doc will be follow by a Q & A with director Gorman Bechard. Actually, Bechard directed both films.

Thursday - July 19
Well, Aerosmith is in town, at the Gahden, but I would rather watch the Weather Channel.

Friday - July 20
Refused with OFF! at the House of Blues. I have never seen Refused, but I saw OFF! open for Dinosaur Jr. last year and they were killer! Refused is a Swedish hardcore punk band who originally broke up in 1998. I believe that this Boston stop is part of their reunion tour. OFF! is a hardcore punk super group from Los Angeles featuring former members of the Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Burning Brides, Redd Kross, Rocket from the Crypt, and Hot Snakes. Now that's a lot of punk.

OFF! - Fuck People
Buy: OFF! (2012)

Saturday - July 21
Sleep off the hangover. It's been a long week. Or get your prog rock on with Yes at Bank of America Pavilion.

Sunday- July 22
This show is all kinds of sold out, but if you can find a ticket make sure to hit the Gaslight Anthem with Dave Hause opening at the Middle East. I saw the Gaslight Anthem about two years ago, and they totally lived up to the hype. A GREAT live act. Their new album Handwritten is out next week. If you are reading this post on Monday, they are live streaming their show tonight at 10:15pm! Dave Hause is the opener for Gaslight, and I have seen him twice in the last year. He's kind of a punk rock folk singer. So, so good.

Dave Hause - Pray for Tuscon

Did I miss anyone?

Frank Turner vs. Nicki Minaj fans

Today I witnessed the second funniest thing I have ever seen on twitter (the first being Neko Case pondering why women musicians aren't propositioned at their shows). There was a big music festival in Scotland this weekend called T in the Park, and both Frank Turner and Nicki Minaj were to perform on the same day (random, polar opposite acts, I know. Who's the booking agent for this festival?). Apparently Minaj and her people were incredibly rude to the T in the Park staff and stage crew.

In addition to her being mean to the staff and stage crew, Minaj showed up up 55 minutes late for her set, and apparently gave a very lackluster performance followed by a lot of booing from the audience.

Of course, Minaj's fans then attacked Turner via twitter...

I'm with Frank on this one. I wouldn't know Nicki Minaj's music if she walked into my apartment and put it on my turntable.

Here are some haterz that Frank retweeted...

Awesome.

Of course, the question I must now know is whether Nicki Minaj gets propositioned after her sets, even if she is mean to the stage crew.

I had to go out and run some errands in the middle of the Minaj fans vs. Turner twitter war, and the below song was on the radio (WFNX, 101.7 in Boston) when I started my car. Sadly, FNX is being turned into conservative talk radio featuring the likes of Glen Beck and that neo-facsist a-hole Rush Limbaugh. I would rather have a station of 24/7 Nicki Minaj.

I don't know anything about Minaj, but Frankie T. puts on one of the best live shows that you will see. I saw him and his band on my birthday at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA, last fall, and it was so killer. He's back in Boston on Sept 6 and 7 at the Royale.

MONDAY UPDATE: Frank wrote a blog post about this incident on his web site. Good stuff Frank!
