The winter “celebration of shoegaze, dream-pop, and grunge,” which launched last December, returns to Deep Cuts next weekend for another two-day lineup of seasonally-appropriate shoegaze, et al. The festivities launch next Friday (December 19) with performances from Greater Boston groups Exit 18, Tysk Tysk Task (pictured above), and Literally/Nobody, plus Portland, Maine’s Little Oso.

And what we see staring at us is often a reflection of the things we deliberately try to ignore. Tysk Tysk Task understand this emotion, and now lure us deep into a psychological terror with a warm embrace and social refection through “Toadstool,” a menacing twirl of indie grunge with a dirge-like pull from the Lowell […]

]]> The best and most WTF moments from Boston Calling 2024 https://vanyaland.com/2024/05/27/the-best-and-most-wtf-moments-from-boston-calling-2024/ Mon, 27 May 2024 17:04:41 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10038441 It’s the damndest thing. Despite Boston Calling granting fewer slots to women and women-fronted bands this year (don’t believe it? glance at the headliners), every entry in our “best of 2024” notes traces back to the creative visions, vitality, and visceral sexuality of woman performers. From Chappell Roan devotees effectively providing a sensual backing track to the pop singer’s buoyant set, to the visual choices that made sets n’ stages pop, here are the best — and most head-scratching — […]

After two afternoons of casual good times at Harvard Athletic Complex, Boston Calling became BOSTON CALLING on Sunday (May 27), packing roughly 40,000 spectators into Harvard Athletic Complex for an afternoon and evening that featured one headliner after another. It was the place to be, and the place to be seen. Vanyaland’s Emily Gardner and Jason Greenough were once again everywhere — Green Stage, Happy Valley Red Stage, […]

Boston Calling’s ’24 headliners — The Killers, Ed Sheeran, Tyler Childers — and its remarkable undercard are well-known and established; but over the next few weeks, keep it locked as we profile the New England talent that decorates the lineup like few other […]

That’s straight-up intolerable. So Tysk Tysk Task are getting the word out about their Boston Calling set this year nice ’n’ early with a new single. The Lowell group dropped their track “Intolerable” earlier this month (January 5) in tangent with news that they’ll storm Boston Calling on Sunday, May 26, one of many Massachusetts acts to perform at the fest this Memorial Day weekend.  The tune follows Tysk Tysk […]

Ultimately, it was The Chelsea Curve who emerged victorious at Sonia, and the mod-pop trio will compete in the […]

But first, a quick recap: The first three prelim nights last weekend were won by Kooked Out, Not Bad Not Well, and One Fall, respectively, and curator Anngelle Wood revealed on Boston Emissions earlier this week that Bird Language had secured the first wild card slot. All four bands move on to the semi-finals. But not before the remaining […]
