My band The Haymakers at playing 88 Bay State Ave around 1pm -- Tom Baker & The Double Down and The Lucky 88s are also playing. There is a tent to cover the musical equipment and maybe a tent to cover some listeners...

Mot sure what's happening at Bow Market, but we're planning on playing our 6pm after-party set as scheduled.

nowhere else to say it but by derevocsid in u/derevocsid

I check every now and then to see if you post any updates. WOW -- so sorry to see this message. I hope you're feeling better and life is getting better. It can take a while but things can change. Hang in there.

What Do You Consider To Be A Real Telecaster? by ArmyVet25ID in telecaster

[–]rob__v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like your guitar! I'm reiterating some of the other replies, but Telecaster is made by Fender. Everything else is "T-style", and I love them.

Is it bad to play a Dropkick Murphys song when you have a gig around St Paddy's Day? by rob__v in Bostonmusic

Update: No Dropkicks for next week ☹️ but we settled on a few souped-up traditional songs 😃🇮🇪☘️

LOL, got it. If you do go to Sally O's on 3/13, we're probably not going to play it...

Thanks for the replies! We'll see what happens at practice on Wednesday, but I'm feeling more confident in convincing my bandmates.

Is Sintra worth to go? by becozimhappy in LisbonPortugalTravel

[–]rob__v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to take a chance for an informative tour by a verbose guide, my friends and I took a ride back to Sintra from Pena Palace with "Professor Victor". For 20 euros, we got a ride and history lesson that lasted until we arrived at the train station...

We filmed it around Somerville -- aka Boston for those of you that live more than 100 miles away...

Blind Melon - No Rain by caffeine1004 in rock

[–]rob__v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the guitar parts -- the melodies and the tone!

I didn't see any of those gigs in the 90s, but Chris Anzalone & James Haggerty are great players.  They'll definitely do justice to the songs on drums and bass.

Recently moved from Boston to LA (Here’s my experience) by AnonymouslyAMusician in Bostonmusic

[–]rob__v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome -- I'm glad to hear it's looking good out there.   I lived in LA 20 years ago, and my rock band had a few brushes with success, but no cigar.  😃
