Heads Up : British Sea Power Hits Boston

Posted on August 8, 2003 at 8:09 am | No Comments

Thanks to the refined musical tastes of Mr. Miller over in the UK, I’ve become a fast fan of a band called British Sea Power. He turned me onto them a couple months ago, and they’ve settled perfectly into my summer listenin’ rotation.

Well, now I owe him not just one pint, but maybe dinner to go with it, since he pointed out the fact that they’re playing here in just two days. 10:15, Sunday night, at TT the Bears in Cambridge. I check the TTs schedule regularly, so it must have just been added. I lucked out.

Do me a favor, will ya? Go to the B.S.P. site, read some reviews, download a couple of mp3s. Stop by this unoffical fan-site to see what they inspire. It’s their first U.S. tour, and these guys deserve a solid crowd, even on a Sunday night. Their new full-lengther is import-only, so not only will you get to see their first and last appearance in such a small club, but you’ll be able to buy the disc straight from them. I’ve downloaded it, and it’s excellent stuff. I’ll be glad to have the top-notch graphic design to go along with the songs.

If you’re outside the Boston area, check their concert page. They’re doing a few East Coast shows, then it’s back to the UK, Germany, and Ireland. The U.S. dates are…

Thanks again, Steve. Appreciate the tip.
