DCAP Birthday Bash Review

Last night's show at McGann's Boston rocked so hard the rain almost stopped. DCAP had two birthday's to celebrate, and the audince really dug it as things got hot on the floor.

Rocket Rocket opened the night on a handful of Cosmos and blew things up. Lost On Liftoff came on next and built the energy up even higher; there is just something so proper about white ties.

Moonstone Lady played a great set including a song they had not played since the band was formed, and kept things at full boil for 'Crespo.

Then DAve Crespo's After Party got on stage and things got CRAZY. For those who have not seen DCAP in a while, their lineup has gotten real serious, and the band puts on blow-you-away shows.

We've got really great shows coming up this week like Destroy Babylon at The Regent Theater, and Voltaire at Church. Keep up to date on F Nice events by joining our mailing list.

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!

Marcy Playground Boston Tickets Going Fast

As you may have guessed, tickets for the September 26th Marcy Playground show are selling faster than water-bottles after a terrorist attack.

The show features ours truly, Cars On Mars. Also playing is DAve Crespo and the After Party, The Energy, and the winner of a band battle earlier that day at The Middle East. We'll be pouring good old Narragansett Beer, and the guys from FNX are gonna come down to give some stuff out and enjoy the show.

Doors are at 7. It's all-ages. The Regent Theater is on a number of bus lines and has a ton of parking.

You can GET TICKETS HERE while there are still enough for you and all your friends.

See ya there.
