What better way to kick off the festival season than to fly to Boston?
Boston Calling has been an institution for decades, starting off as a tiny venue and evolving into a huge spectacle with four stages.
Local acts have always had their place and new artists will always get a chance to perform. With Boston being the home of Berklee College of Music, the competition will always be tough but it’s a delight to see the variety of talent each year.
We’ve come to explore but also to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It’s been too long.
We may be extremely excited to see the Foo Fighters, too. Their new drummer Josh Freese will absolve his probatory time during the next few gigs. With his resume of drumming for A Perfect Circle, The Vandals and Devo, I think he’ll be alright.
Saturday brings us many more acts, though we have come for Alanis Morissette. She is a queen. Full stop.
And Sunday we end with Queens of the Stone Age and Paramore, though we are also intrigued to see King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - it will take magic for us to fly from stage to stage.
Following Boston we are intending to attend Rock im Park. The line up looks promising. For now, Boston is Calling.
