This Friday, July 30th McGann's will be hosting F Nice Records' Rock This Party show!

The New England native singer/songwriter John Paul will be returning from LA to play this show. The fine city of Boston will welcome John Paul back as he plays songs off of his debut album, Belmont Boulevard.

Paul has been independently rising in the singer-songwriter scene as he has been Featured on KCAL9 (LA CBS affiliate) via Skipstone Productions' show "So Cal NOW!". Paul has also performed at the UCB Theater as a special guest musician and has brought large crowds to New York City, Boston, Portland (ME) and Los Angeles.

John Paul & The Courtship

Also playing that night are Ice Cream Social and Lauren Bateman. Headlining the show is DAve Crespo's After Party! When the clock hits 12 midnight and the party is in its waning breath, DAve Crespo's After Party is just the cure for the second wind blues. The band formed in 2007 when Crespo decided to put a line up behind his acoustic efforts. DAve Crespo's After Party released their first record in 2009 appropriately titled, "DCAP."


The show starts at 9PM, Doors open at 8:30PM.

Pre-sale tickets are only $5, it will be $8 at the door. Get them early cause this show is sure to sell out! Get your tickets here at FNiceRecords.com!

Metal Night Returns to McGann's Pub

As anyone who reads this blog regularly knows, F Nice loves McGann's Pub. For those of you who have not been there, McGann's is located at 197 Portland Street in downtown Boston. This is right next to both the TD Garden and the MBTA North Station (Green and Orange T lines plus northern commuter rails).

McGann's is a great place to eat and drink during the day as well as a super bar to sit in and watch your favorite game, whether it be the Bruins or Rugby. Then at night McGann's large stage becomes one of the area's best places to see up-and-coming live music acts.

The venue has been host to many spectacular themed concerts. One of current note is the NCN 10 Rompetition, which continues this week with battles at McGann's on Thursday and Friday. An ongoing live concert series that F Nice has been running at McGann's with excellent following is Tuesday All Acoustic Night. We bring in all sorts of great acoustic musicians and always have a nice low cover so everyone can afford to have some drinks while they enjoy the night's music.

Recently it was brought to our attention that before there was All Acoustic Night, Tuesdays at McGann's were reserved for metal. Now being all about the scene, F Nice would never turn down what the fans want; so on Tuesday February 16th METAL NIGHT RETURNED!

Gutshot, Powerstance, and Horcrux tore things up and set spirits rights. Faces were melted, eardrums were blown, and a great time was had by all.

Now don't you worry, All Acoustic nights will continue (with the next one slated for March 9th), but mixed between them will now be plenty of sweet sweet metal.

Catch the next metal night one month from now on March 16th. We'll see you at McGann's!

The NCN 10 Rompetition Starts Off Strong!

The second night of the NCN 10 Romp was full of fantastic music and lively spirits. Every performance was great and there was a lot of fun to be had.

Lady Lamb The Beekeeper took first place and earned herself a spot in the finals at The Middle East Upstairs on March 6th. Ship High in Transit won the online vote, but the other contenders put up a serious fight, and Ship High was not sorry to have lost to a friend. In fact no one seemed upset that Lady Lamb won, as she blew pretty much everyone out of the water.

Starlight Grey one the crowd vote and almost first. All through the night though, each act was excellent, and none were to be missed.

Tonight the press to win recording, dupe & distribution, and a spot on stage at the grand finale Regent Theater show on March 19th continues. Here's the lineup. If you missed out on getting advance tickets you can still buy them here.

Rocksplosion at McGann's last Friday 1-8-2010

Last Friday McGann's pub in downtown Boston was seriously rocksploded. There were 4 fantastic bands, many raffle drawings for shirt and ticket giveaways, and the whole things was broadcasted live on Unregular Radio.

Inside The Avalanche had the place packed from the get-go and started the night off right with an amazing set. They went high and low, with soft crooning and pounding rock, all showing off their talent and range. Their fans were thirsty for drinks McGann's great bartender Vlad, who was a blur for most of the night, and the band was hungry for life (not like zombies though).

Next Dex and DAve pulled a couple raffle winners, one for an F Nice t-shirt and the other for tickets to this Friday's McGann's Show. They then Leaders Led, who laid some

really great tunes on us and were pretty funny guys as well.

Vostok 4 took the stage third and played a raging set of all original music (despite serious pressure from the ladies in the crowd to taint their love). The guys in Vostok 4 move around so much and play so fast that they must burn more calories (and probably green) than Michael Phelps. Note in the picture Vostok 4's keyboardist's rig; it's serious serious shit.

And more prize giveaways of course....F Nice always hooks up their fans.

Finishing up the show was Dirty Strange. Besides their lead singer starring in the best picture I got all night, Dirty Strange also won the award for best signage. We ended the night with a final giveaway including 2 tickets of the winners choice from this month's F Nice Calendar.

Make sure to check out all these bands online and listen for them and other local talent on The Boston Local Music Show at UnregularRadio.com, and we'll see you at the next show!

Sneak Peek at New The Yer Moms Shirt

Alrighty folks, here it is. A new The Yer Moms shirt for their reunion / farwell show this Friday the 11th at McGann's Pub in downtown Boston.

These will be available at the show only and in limited quantity. Music starts at 9 and we expect to already be sold out by then. A special shirt for a special night because not all good things can last forever.

Whether you get a shirt or not, the whole night is going to be crazy entertainment with plenty of Narragansett beer to be drank.

The show involves many very special guests using a range of instruments which rivial a marching band. Supposedly The Yer Moms entire catalog will be performed, but that is just a rumor circling the Boston underground. Even if the word turns out false you can be sure all the fan favorites such as "30% Approval Rating" "$5 Blowjob" "I'm Not A Liberal" and "The Pescetarian Song" will be heard as well as some early songs you may not even know exist.

In addition to The Yer Moms, the night's music will feature the Sommerville Symphony Orchestra, Swell, and Iceberg Young and Tea Musket.

McGann's Pub is right by North Station in downtown Boston. The Yer Moms have practially rocked this place down before and this Friday September 11th will be a performance for the history books.

We are real proud to have the people from Narragansett beer helping us out on this show, so make sure ya tip a can to em while you're down there too. "You buy a case, they'll build a brewery"

See ya there!

Matt
