Life = shooting concert videos + photography, cooking for friends at The Granitorium, and scheming with my favorite Boston bands.

Photo by Paul Janovitz, 2009 [tweetmeme] I was an instant fan of Avi & Celia the first time I saw them at the Lizard Lounge a few years ago, sitting in with the always amazing Session Americana. Since then I've seen them a few times playing their duo show of sexy, soulful, rock and roll....

The Rock Out Boston Club

[Aloud at Arlington Regent Theater, April 2009, photo by Annie Burns] I go out to see a lot of live music and it's always more fun to share it with other people. Annie Burns and I started up a new group called The Rock Out Boston Club on Facebook. The first concert outing is for...

Bloggers @ A.R.T.

Several years ago I conspired with The American Repertory to invite Boston area bloggers to a performance at their new Zero Arrow Theater in Harvard Square.

Vox at Vox

I went to Six Apart's excellent shindig for their new Vox blogging service at Vox Populi in Boston tonight. I was a little late to learn about Vox so someone else had already scooped up sooz.vox.com. If you've got an account over there, you can add me as a neighbor and/or friend ala susankaup.vox.com. For...

Nouvelle Vague

Yesterday morning a friend suggested we see Nouvelle Vague's concert at the Paradise later that night. I had never heard of them; but from what Susan said about the band, it sounded interesting. They do bossanova inspired covers of 80s new wave songs. If they weren't such talented musicians and singers it would have been...

Photos from the HeyLetsGo Party in Boston on Lansdowne Street

HeyLetsGo hosted a huge, free party last night at four connected clubs on Lansdowne Street. The party was originally supposed to happen at Fenway Park; but there were worries about rain so the shindig moved across the street. They kept the ballpark theme with a speed pitching contest, batting contest, popcorn, pretzels and hotdogs. Boston...
