yamamanamaIt was a beautiful day and it didn’t really feel like the last of the concerts this year.
I didn't find anything interesting at Brattle Books. I also needed to use the bathroom.
There was a booth for the Boston 8-Bit collective, manned by a guy with faded cerulean hair and tattoos of Gir from Invader Zim and a Gundam.
One of the posters had Jason Voorhees ripping off Mario's head. The other one, for Mei Ohara, has Zombie Scarlett O'Hara from Uninvited wearing a slightly different playing the violin and holding a haunted Game Boy. The ghost slithering out of the ajar doorway is trying to grab the Game Boy.
"The Unicorn Princess creates low-fi music by combining drum machines and vintage syntheziers with loop machines, guitar and flute." Sounds intriguing.
Lockette are Brigitte, Gabby, Tracy, and Ashley. One of them, I want to say Tracy, has a tattoo of the great owl from The Secret of NIMH on one arm, and tattoos of stars and lily flowers, a penguin and a squid, a peach in color on her other arm, a two-headed dog on her leg. She said it was the earliest show they’ve played by many hours.
Opposite People play a hybrid of Bollywood music, afrobeat, Ethiopian jazz, and funk. It's a reference to a Fela Kuti song about his aggravation with mindless nonconformity, and if The Mad Genius Club and Odyssey: The Legend of Nemesis has taught me anything, it's that mindless nonconformity is a lot like mindless conformity.
Wrought Iron Hex plays heavy rock.
Coffin Salesman played at the Rock City Stage. They had guitar and accordion and call themselves punk folk but on their recordings, they have fiddle and drums and organ. There were problems with the Tiny Oak stage acoustically so they moved it under a maple tree. This really didn't work out. While there are ways to have three songs playing at once sound good, please refer to that time I went to the Davis Museum and Jenny Olivia Johnson had her work there, it didn't really work here. At least they didn't put the stage in the beer garden like I thought they'd do.
I don't know if Jeanette played.
Set Fire was the band with Jim, AKA Beardsley McSkullshirt and Joshua whom I thought were in Coffin Salesman and so I crammed them in that page, and Jess, who has tattoos of daisies.
Analog Heart has a new-ish EP out.
Vanessa and Diane of Vintage String had matching pendants of gold covered in verdigris-green floral swirls. I drew them before they played various covers from Beethoven to Beyoncé on violin and viola. They finished off with a cover of Smooth Criminal.
The Cast Irons describe themselves as alt-americana/alt-pop/alt-indie/alt-alt.
Blindspot is alt-rock.
Tracy has purple and teal and black hair has tattoos of a face in profile with a necklace of triangles on her arm, a faery with her wings spread against the moon, which looks more like a gas giant or an ocean planet, and long legs. On the nape of her neck is a bejeweled moth and some flowers which she said hurt.
The woman at KCUF's table had a dog and a pendant of the sun and moon with faces and with Mayan glyphs in gold that her mother got while in Mexico.
Kate Girardi played a coever of Uh huh. Jade Bird, not Imogen Heap. It was really good and I can’t find it anywhere. No Control is a song about a crappy relationship, for lack of better words, she was in a few years back. Her songs are written about her life experiences.
A woman had dark brown hair, an octopus ring, a horseshoe pendant, a rainbow bracelet and a green bracelet.
Three At Home was described by the Only Humans as stuffing Mumford and Sons into a nuclear bomb.
Mary has an Atlas Lab sticker on her keyboard bag.
There was a woman with green and black hair and a shirt that had poofy sleeves and prints of cherubs, that is to say, angel babies and not Final Fantasy chimeras. Her friend had her dark hair in braids.
Baluchitherium was described as the hairiest band in Boston.
A paraceratherium is essentially a giant rhinoceros without any horns and legs that are longer proportionate to their body. Indricotherium and Baluchitherium may or may not be distinct genera but there aren’t any complete skeletons. They lived in temperate latitude Eurasia and also Baluchistan. We know they’re the largest land mammal but we don’t know exactly how large they are.
Rhinoceros horns aren't medicine and they aren't even real horns. Horns have a bony core.
Bird Language is ambient pop-rock.
Michelle has an astronaut (she said that should be obvious, but I wasn’t sure if he was an astronaut or an old fashioned diver) with a shattered helmet holding a carnation in his hand.
A man had a tattoo of a woman with blue hair in an old fashioned diving helmet and a rose and a woman in a Raygun Gothic space helmet surrounded by stars. and lower down, the Rebel Alliance crest.
A man had a tattoo of a skeletal hand writing XIII with a quill pen, a coffin with Home Sweet Home, a stick figure with an oversized witch’s hat.
A woman had “so it goes” written on her arm.
Carissa Johnson played acoustic guitar, flying solo this time. But that’s how these songs start out. She has tattoos that I didn’t see last time because they were covered by her jacket sleeve: an ornate design of spiderwebs and flora that I rendered as abstract swirls, a face, a raven’s feather.
She played Badlands, which is probably my favorite song from the album. She played a few new songs, one that she’s never performed before that I really like. She played a song that isn’t really a love song at all but people think it is. That might be I Always Will.
Radio Compass describes themselves as dreampunk. Angela has a tattoo of lunar phases on one arm and a trefoil and Ultima’s sigil and a tidal wave and swirls of wind on the other arm. At least, I’m pretty sure it’s Ultima. Jill, the drummer, has a tattoo of a snail and a green frog and a wolf’s head. Myra Kerry didn’t have any noticeable tattoos.
Sadie has a tattoo of a frog in a pink tutu juggling daggers and red balls and hair bright and pink enough to be seen from space.
the guitarist was wearing a shirt that said 1 million women can’t be wrong.
For whatever reason, Singh's Roti did not deign to show up.
I got an Indian salad from Spyce with a Y. They want to be different from Spice in Cambridge, which I believe changed their name more distinctive. There were potatoes and peas in a sauce, tamarind chutney, yogurt, and what I think is rajhbog mix with puffed rice and raisins.
Maddie has long dark eyelashes and those face earrings that I saw someone else wearing and her bag depicts Quentin Blake’s drawing of Matilda. While some people have compared my art to Quentin Blake, she didn't.
There was a small kid wearing a shirt with a cake and a message saying that it’s her birthday even though she said it wasn’t, so either she wants cake but has no money or doesn’t want to pay for it, or that’s the only clean thing in the house. I’ve been there.
Her mom has a cat tattoo and a cat bag and has both cats and dogs. She says that pugs are a lot like cats.
burning question: speaking of beer, did TwitchCon really think it was a good idea to pre-pour a bunch of cups of beer and leave them out in the open?
