yay for good music in boston
April 30th, 2006 by Lawrence David
christina and i finally saw matt pond, pa in concert last night. we’re both fans – we were thrilled to buy t-shirts (with beavers on them!) and get them signed.
matt pond opened for cake … the two bands were playing mit’s spring concert.
it was the first concert that i’ve had the presence of mind to bring earplugs to. consequently, we got to stand in the second row, directly behind the left loudspeaker. such a liberating feeling to not have to prioritize between standing 5 feet from the stage or suffering long-term auditory damage.
the two of us look forward to tuesday – we’ve got tickets to see aqualung in the somerville theater. i’m really pleasantly surprised at how much good music makes its way through boston. and unlike back home in new york, boston-area shows are rather affordable; tickets around here never seem to be upwards of $15. makes concert going real hard to resist.
