A lively, and at times raucous, party went down at Big Night Live this evening (December 11) as the city’s annual scene celebration brought the heat on a rainy and miserable night in North Station. Inside the venue and away from the bad weather, the vibes were strong and the positivity infectious as 47 awards were handed out, highlighted by Watertown resident Noah Kahan taking home Artist of the Year, Live […]

]]> Be Here Not: Oasis unveil North American tour but no Boston show https://vanyaland.com/2024/09/30/be-here-not-oasis-unveil-north-american-tour-but-no-boston-show/ Mon, 30 Sep 2024 12:22:07 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10039738 The reunited Oasis unveiled a short run of North American dates this morning (September 30), and most important to our interests is the lack of a Boston date. And to think we had that Standing on the Shoulder of Gillette headline all ready to go! Instead, the Brothers Gallagher will play a total of five shows on our continent: August 24 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto; August 28 at Soldier Field in Chicago; August 31 at MetLife Stadium in New […]

]]> Jane’s Addiction show in Boston ends abruptly after on-stage scuffle https://vanyaland.com/2024/09/14/janes-addiction-show-in-boston-ends-abruptly-after-on-stage-scuffle/ Sat, 14 Sep 2024 09:52:56 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10039585 While we’ve all been busy thinking about potential on-stage fisticuffs between Gallagher brothers, another reunited rock band threw hands last night (September 13) in Boston. The Jane’s Addiction show at Leader Bank Pavilion in the Seaport came to an abrupt halt after vocalist Perry Farrell allegedly threw a punch and instigated a fight with guitarist Dave Navarro. The incident was recorded by several people in attendance, including Sean R, who posted the video below to YouTube. Tensions reportedly rose throughout […]

]]> Boston’s ‘brat summer’ is ‘insane’, ‘chaotic’, and not slowing down https://vanyaland.com/2024/08/29/bostons-brat-summer-is-insane-chaotic-and-not-slowing-down/ Thu, 29 Aug 2024 15:10:25 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10039432 With Labor Day weekend upon us, it seems brat summer must draw to a close. The Charli XCX seasonal renaissance, which kicked off in early June with the release of the British musician’s sixth album, comes to its natural conclusion as New England leaves the Cape behind for autumnal leaf peeping — unless the people of Boston have anything to say about it. Across the city, everyone’s been leaning into the cultural moment, for better (such as over at the […]

The student, musician (whose single “Hush” we shared earlier this year), and Atlanta native shared her debut full-length record, Creation of Jordan Maye, on Friday (August 23), an eight-song hero’s-journey-style musical feat she’s achieved at just the age of 21. Maye’s album is as personal as it is technically deft. Nearly operatic in sound, Maye puts her music education to good use as she […]

The New York-based producer, musician, and songwriter released a double single back in February, featuring a cover of Flaming Lips’ “Oh My Pregnant Head” and a beautiful instrumental synth-scape titled “Slow & Sunny” (not dissimilar to his fall release “Will to Mend”). Now, he’s […]

The self-described “Boston/Brooklyn band” have been quietly working behind the scenes since their 2019 sophomore record Bull in the Shade, but now are firmly back in the game — after November’s crisp and creased “Nice Clean Shirt,” they released their latest single, “Observational Eros,” this past Friday (February 23). Just a touch grittier than previous Beeef tracks, “Observational Eros” grapples with consciousness, a near-existential ditty fit for a philosophy seminar with a sound straight […]

The Palestinian-Bostonian multi-hyphenate creator has made history as one of Bodega’s first hijabi models, designed her own Converse, and in 2023 was a two-time nominee and Video of the Year winner at the Boston Music Awards. Now, she’s ready for the next (big) step with her latest single, “BIG STEPPA.” The track dropped on Friday (February 9), but the video just debuted today (February […]

The group started, like many great ensembles, as a weekly jam session between friends from disparate locales, and have since expanded into a jazz-funk-soul-reggae fusion bona fide jam band. With just a few singles under their belt, including last year’s […]
