Dinosaur Jr. at the Paradise
Fans at last night’s sold out Dinosaur Jr. show at The Paradise Rock Club were in for a treat as the legendary alternative-rock band delivered a delightful set full of classic hits as well as new material. Setting the mood for the evening was opening band Hush Arbors. The Charlottesville, Virgina based band’s blend of [...]
Sharon Van Etten at the Paradise
Sharon Van Etten has a good habit of touring with equally as impressive and underrated musicians as herself. From indie rockers Shearwater to Boston-favorite Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Etten’s openers repeatedly surprise crowds by bringing just as much a show to the stage as the headliner herself. If his name wasn’t recognizable enough, Damien Jurado [...]
Walk Off the Earth at the Paradise
When a band admits that you’re the first Boston crowd that they’ve played to, it makes you feel special. In what seemed like an all-out effort to make a good impression, The Mowgli’s kicked off the night with an incredibly energetic six-song set. One of two opening bands for Walk Off the Earth, The Mowgli’s [...]
Father John Misty at the Paradise
The first thing that stood out when Jeffertitti’s Nile came on stage to open the show was the lead singer’s tight golden spandex pants and long purple hair. It was not long, however, before their music took the throne as the most interesting thing. They started with a spacious psychedelic intro to a song that [...]
The Wallflowers at the Paradise
It’s almost easy to see why ‘90s alternative roots rock group The Wallflowers changed the band’s name from The Apples all those many years ago. Fronted by Jakob Dylan, the band’s understated confidence brings with it a presence that is both relaxed and mesmerizing all at the same time. For those who attended last night’s [...]
Stephen Marley at the Paradise
On Monday night, contemporary reggae legend Stephen Marley played to a sold out crowd at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club.

Ben Howard at the Paradise
The weather Saturday night could not have been better for waiting in line for a great concert, which was lucky for the huge crowd that turned up for Ben Howard’s show at the Paradise Rock Club. The line stretched far down the sidewalk and around the block, made up of a variety of Howard fans: [...]
Dirty Projectors at the Paradise
“This is the first time I’ve ever been excited to hear a band’s new songs at a concert,” the girl next to me confessed as we waited in line outside the Paradise Rock Club for the sold out Dirty Projectors show. She was, of course, referring to the Dirty Projectors wonderful new album, Swing Lo Magellan, and [...]
Frank Ocean at the Paradise
On Saturday, July 28th, Frank Ocean brought the Channel Orange tour to the Paradise Rock Club in Allston, MA. The show sold out in three days and was highly anticipated because it was his first solo performance in Boston ever! The show started with screams from the crowd as Frank walked out with one guitarist, [...]
Liars at the Paradise Rock Club
Art-rock fans were not to be disappointed at the Paradise last night as the stacked bill of Los Angeles based Liars and openers Unknown Mortal Orchestra put on a solid show and rocked the house.
