Here's a video from one of The Combovers latest shows downstairs at the Cantab

   Saturday, September 8th sees the next installment of One Night Band a day-long music experiment in which 40 selected Boston musicians are randomly shuffled into bands of five on a Saturday morning. These newly formed bands must prepare a four-song set (including one cover) to play that night in front of an audience at legendary Cambridge rock club the Middle East. This weekend's roster includes people like Jay Allen, Bob Maloney, Walter Sickert and Alison Murray.

    Friday, September 14 The Woggles do their thing and it should be wild in the small space of The Plough and Stars. Muck and The Mires are also there that night!

   Then there's two excellent nights coming up at Radio later in September:
Friday, Sept 21st is the Late Risers' Club 35th Anniversary Party. They have a facebook page LATE RISERS' CLUB FACEBOOK PAGE You have to go there to see what they have listed but even that isn't all they are going to have....if you get my drift ....but they do say it will "feature a one-time-only set from The Shirt Lifters, a band featuring members of Spitzz and The Tampoffs backing an all-star roster of guest vocalists from bands like Unnatural Axe and Bullet Lavolta playing covers of the punk rock classics you've been hearing on the LR C since 1977". ....They also have Cocked n' Loaded doing heavier stuff like Motorhead and Turbo Negro. On the air that week they will be playing one decade of punk each half hour. Downstairs in Moe's Lounge, Artie Friedman will screen old local videos and perhaps a screening of the LRC documentary. Cover charge is only $5...which includes 2 FREE Narragansetts. Must we...can we go on?
