Last night we saw an awesome show at Church of Boston (69 Kilmarnock St. Boston 02215). The Doug MacDonald Band and The Hookups both put on long pasionate sets. What was great about these bands is that each has a very unique sound that cannot be heard elsewhere in Boston.
For those of you unfamiliar with The Doug MacDonald Band you most certainly need to check out their music on MySpace or live at one of their many upcoming concerts. Playing a great mix of new and old orgininal hits, Doug and his drummer, Patty Short, weave intricate beats and melodies around fun and moving lyrics. And while the band's style touches on greats of the 80's and 90's there really is nothing like it, especially in Massachusetts.
The five-piece Hookups brought a whole new energy to the stage, as they are quite known for. Their upbeat jams quickly had the crowd swaying and bouncing across Church's dancefloor. The Hookups played many of their fantstic original songs blended by the sweet and smooth vocals of lead Kevin Braxton, which got Church nice and warm.
As always engineer Kevin Corzett made the room sound beautiful and pool was enjoyed by many of the patrons on their gorgous red tables.
F Nice has tons of great live music concerts all this month. If you're a band we have a huge band battle with badass prizes including recording and production thand you can enter here.
