    Anyone who is familiar with the New York centered band Jeremy and the Harlequins know that they draw their inspiration, sound and look, from the late 50s and early 60s. So when the group performed June 1st at Dusk bar in Providence RI, their first time to the …

The Summer Set stopped in Boston on their Stories For Monday Tour on May 28th along with Handsome Ghost, Royal Teeth and Call Me Karizma.

Sunday night, Ill Niño made a pit stop at the Starland Ballroom as part of their anniversary tour celebrating the 15-year mark of their debut album, Revolution Revolución.

They played crowd favorites such as “Drop the Girl” and “Stay Out,” slowed it down a little with a new song “Lighthouse” and finished the …
