[Boston-Area Action 9/10/25] My Show-Going Plans & New Show Announcements
Posted on September 10, 2025 at 1:06 pm | No Comments
Hey. It’s Wednesday. S’pose I’ll do one of those posts where I list impending Boston-area shows I’m hoping to (or wish I could) go to this coming week, along with some show announcements that have happened since I last did this. Which was… two weeks ago. Oops. Just wasn’t feeling it, and am barely feeling it now. Sigh. This world, y’know?
There are like five different things I would do on Friday night if it were at all possible. Alas, I have to go with Superchunk. Please have fun at Supergrass in my absence (argh). And at Notch. And at the Field Day/Arto show. And in Salem. And at BJM. Jeez.
If I screwed up any of these details, leave a comment. If I missed any announcements you’re particularly psyched about, leave a comment. If you’ve got a show you wanna plug, sure, leave a comment. Just need to vent? You can do that here, too.
As always, check out the longer list over in the right hand column —>

Hi! It’s Wednesday morning, and somehow I’m in an actual good mood. I think it’s mainly weather-based. I’ll take it. Here’s the weekly post of two lists: Boston-area shows I’m planning on/hoping to attend this week (or would attend if I was around), along with shows I’m into that have been announced since the last time I did this.
I’m gonna list a couple things this weekend that I’ll be missing since I’ll be living an indie-rockin’ dream out at Dromfest ’25 in Catskill, NY. The lineup this year is nuts. But I thought that about the first two years as well. Cannot wait.
Two things of note: Tomorrow night’s show at Deep Cuts is the very definition of a DO NOT MISS. And Friday marks the very welcome return of free music at Notch Brewing in Brighton. So very psyched.
