Featured this week, just barely, is: a wildly crazy April Fool’s show at Church (Walter Sickert & the ARmy of BRoken TOys<\/a>, Mighty Tiny<\/a>, HUMANWINE<\/a>, and Somerville Symphony Orkestar<\/a>); dance night on Friday at Great Scott, with special live guests The Daily Pravda<\/a>; a Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling<\/a> CD release party at Church on Saturday; and for folk\/Americana fans – a CD release party at the Middle East for Kingsley Flood<\/a>, which also features the very popular Boston Americana group, Cassavettes<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Thursday, April 1<\/h4>\n

F-Nice Records Presents: Walter Sickert & the ARmy of BRoken TOys<\/a> (11pm), Mighty Tiny<\/a> (10pm), HUMANWINE<\/a> (9pm), and Somerville Symphony Orkestar<\/a> (8pm) @ the Church of Boston – Thursday April 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The

The Somerville Symphony Orkestar<\/p><\/div>\n

Walter Sickert & the ARmy of BRoken TOys<\/a>, Mighty Tiny<\/a>, and HUMANWINE<\/a> I’ve spoken of before here, and they’re all very, very worth seeing individually<\/em>, never mind together<\/em> (which is completely, utterly nuts, and trust me you will be spinning like you’ve just stepped off some harrowing carnival ride – but it’ll be well worth it). So I’ll just say a few words about the Somerville Symphony Orkestar<\/a>. If anyone out there is familiar with fellow Boston band Hypnotic Clambake<\/a>, that’ll land you in the general neighborhood. Punk, Klezmer, Balkan, Russian, and funk influences. A crazy, festive stew that must be pretty spectacular in a live setting. This is seriously one hell of a lineup<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Pill<\/a> (w\/DJs Ken & Michael V., with musical guests The Daily Pravda<\/a> @ Great Scott – Friday, April 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The

The Daily Pravda<\/p><\/div>\n

I was looking for something on Friday that would be a departure from the cabaret bizarre of April Fool’s at Church, the down-home rootsiness of Kingsley Flood, and the punk\/industrial sonic deep cleanse of Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling… and I’ve found it. The Daily Pravda<\/a> are charmingly new wave and glam (Yes! Glam!), and from the brief listening I’m giving them now, quite good (“She’s So Mature” is especially nice, kinda glam\/garage). How glam are they? Well, they do a loving tribute to “Ziggy Stardust” which – given my past history – made me chuckle. In a happy way. In fact, it’s such a faithful rendition, and this band has such a strong Bowie vibe, it’s almost too close<\/em>, if you know what I mean. Maybe it’s just me, but if a band is going to cover a dearly-loved classic like this, I want it to be truly bizarre. Like Barbara Streisand doing “Life On Mars”<\/a>. Ok, maybe not like that. So anyway, their appearance at Great Scott is part of their Friday Night The Pill<\/a> dance party (“Britpop, Modern indie & Beyond”), and is also the release party for their single “Animal Nitrate”, copies of which will be given away for free. The Daily Pravda<\/a> have two other releases – the She’s So Mature<\/em> EP and last year’s debut album Burning Bible Diamonds<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Saturday, April 3<\/h4>\n

Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling CD Release Party with Voodoo Screw Machine<\/a> (12am), Gene Dante and The Future Starlets<\/a> (11pm), Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling<\/a> (10pm), Vostok 4<\/a> (9pm) and Cory TuT<\/a> (8pm) @ the Church of Boston – Saturday April 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Do

Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling (photo by Kelly Davidson)<\/p><\/div>\n

Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling<\/a>, another band whom I’ve written about before<\/a> are having a CD release party for their debut album. Pleasantly pummeling and hypnotic, the duo of Sophia Cacciola (formerly of Blitzkriegbliss!<\/a>) on vocals & drums and Mike Epstein (The Motion Sick<\/a>) on bass, whip up quite a churning racket. This evening, they’re joined by punk\/pop singer from NYC, Cory TuT<\/a>; new wave & 80s synth-pop Vostok 4<\/a> (nice), Gene Dante and The Future Starlets<\/a> (sort of a theatrical 70s glam meets Neil Diamond), and hard rock\/gothic\/metal quartet Voodoo Screw Machine<\/a>, who apparently stage theatrical blitzkriegs for their live shows (that have been banned from at least two Boston-area clubs), so it’s probably good they’re on last.<\/p>\n

Cassavettes<\/a>, The Grownup Noise<\/a>, Kingsley Flood<\/a>, and Spouse<\/a> @ the Middle East Upstairs – Saturday April 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last, but definitely not least – especially for fans of exceptional “indie Americana” and crazy pickin’ and fiddlin’, Kingsley Flood<\/a> will be having a CD release party for their debut album Dust Windows<\/em>. The band features Naseem Khuri on acoustic guitar & vocals, Nick Balkin on bass, Will Davies, drums; George Hall, guitar, Jenée Morgan, fiddle; and Chris Barrett, trumpet. There’s folk and singer-songwriter influences (Woody Guthrie, Dylan); Americana and roots music a la the Band; and more rocking stuff like The Replacements. They have a cool sound, and you can listen to the songs from the new album (and download a few tracks) on their official site<\/a>. Also performing this evening will be the highly-acclaimed Americana Boston band Cassavettes<\/a> (who have a new CD Shake Down The Sun<\/em>), The Grownup Noise<\/a>, and Spouse<\/a> (from Portland).<\/p>\nshare this: \"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"tumblr\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
