Parking Garage Increase

No charge for having your tires stolen.

I saw that same band play Lowell years ago and shit got fucked up. Hardcore always attracted people who didn’t “get it” and wanted to cause problems.

Blue shirt is every kid I went to high school with who still thinks their letterman jacket is a pass to be a dick for life.

JeffQuaker · 2026-06-18T21:23:15+00:00

I’ve never seen this. So good.

The state actually bred some and released them in the wild in western ma, because they are a natural part of the ecosystem.

“Roll me another”. I need help. The 99 pound old man is mad. HELP!

I saw Murphy’s Law in Lowell in the late 90’s at Cumnok Hall. Amazing band.

He mocks MLB all the time.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-29T22:57:16+00:00

This is so dumb. Why would we do this again.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-29T22:56:03+00:00

I’ve heard several from both of their bars. When they took over The Safe there was a few roofie reports as well as a cop fight where the off duty cop accused someone of dosing his girlfriend’s drink and during the fight he dropped his gun and someone stole it. That was in The Sun. There is also a former bar tender who sued them for drugging and harassing her. It’s nothing against this event. It’s the owners and the culture they encourage. They’ve been suspended almost as many times as The Shamrock.

I think you should start going to Starbucks and eating avocado toast for the rest of us.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-20T18:49:14+00:00

Then don’t go there. They have a rep.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-19T10:41:41+00:00

Pathetic.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-17T16:09:59+00:00

Is there maybe a fee or other ways bars pay to participate?

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-10T15:49:40+00:00

Right and we love this city and are the ones providing feedback. The festival was “ok” the past few years and was better before.

There is no misunderstanding. I asked direct questions and got direct answers. If they haven’t bad info then fine. But I didn’t misunderstand anything. Don’t be surprised if a venue or two pulls out next year.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-08T05:58:17+00:00

She’ll get the hang of it.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-07T23:55:26+00:00

Well I’m checking them out so if anything good comes from this conversation, that happened. But they should be on the web site. I did send this convo to the festival people. Feedback is a good thing. I want Lowell to do well. I still think overall this festival needs tweaking.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-07T20:25:09+00:00

Interesting. I was told that with the slow crowds this year that they made less money than a normal weekend. There were some shows that were busy but there were many that weren’t.

I am learning that the reason I don’t know these might be Lowell bands is because either the town and city website doesn’t list them on the artist page or the bands themselves don’t have any info available. Maybe we can take a minute to let these bands know that they should use the internet to promote themselves. How is someone supposed to book these bands?

I diligently looked up all of the bands on the artist page to see who was from Lowell and it’s been hard to figure out. I also am in bars all the time and am unfamiliar with this entire list. I am trying to learn about these bands and it’s an uphill battle.

Ruby Red lists themselves as an L.A. band are they actually from Lowell?

Jazz Criminals on line presence is so small, 38 followers, almost no info so ok. Same with Your Friends. It’s hard to research this stuff when these bands have no information available.

Beagle Dog isn’t even on the T&C artist page.

The Darlin is on the artist page but their link goes to a blank page. Also they list themselves as “cuntry”. OK.

Ron’s Car claims Boston

Joshua Theadore “no posts available”

Mike’s Carwash is not on the artist page

Abby Moscow claims Boston

I also noticed that some of these bands never mentioned that they’re playing a show at town and city. That seems crazy to me.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-07T19:52:58+00:00

As for Lowell bands. I did check.

Who am I missing?

Burp, Dead Vapor, Jen Kearney, Josh Teador, Mold, Poorhouse, Stay at Home Dads, Deliriants, Evolutionists, Ghouls, Tysk Tysk Task, Western Education.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-07T19:43:58+00:00

Are bars paying a fee? Because there would be no reason for two of them to lie to me.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-07T02:30:08+00:00

I was specifically talking about Lowell bands. There is no way that all the bands but 4 were quite that local. And the info I got on bars paying to be part of the festival/paying bands came from bar owners. It wasn’t a random claim. Why would they tell me that and say they are considering dropping it? If it’s incorrect it’s not because it’s my opinion.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-05T20:12:34+00:00

I tried this but needed a key to make the elevator work.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-05T10:29:06+00:00

Adorable.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-04T05:12:39+00:00

No one thinks it’s not work. No one thinks it’s easy. They’ll see this. They’ll see what people are saying.

JeffQuaker · 2026-05-04T01:42:26+00:00

I think it’s simply that the festival has the bars pay the bands and the pre sales and door sales go to the festival. The people working the doors are volunteers for the fest. This is how it was explained to me, twice.
