Some Kind Of Infernal Machine

Gothic Americana/apocalyptic LARP rock/spidercore.  Effects-heavy keyboard, electric ukulele, and bass/banjo combo playing spookified Americana covers and originals.

The Pulltabs with Baltic Sun

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

The Pulltabs are comprised of veteran rockers from several locally based Boston area bands. The Pulltabs are heavily influenced by classic and current rock, some pop and the occasional obscure treasure. Their guitar driven sound is sweetened by the vocals of Emmy Farnham, whose singing offers a fresh and versatile listening experience especially when combined with their male vocalist/guitarist Neil Gallagher. Lead guitarist Marty Krakowsky pulls it all together with his inspired guitar licks. Holding down the rhythm section are drummer Bob Goldman and bass player Alexandra Rowe. Plan for an couple sets of familiar tunes with a new twist.

Dalia & The Big Violin

Band Description: 

A musical analogy for baby tigers befriending orangutans, DBV unites a Palestinian-Californian singer (D), and a Minnesotan singing cellist (BV). The pair met at Berklee College of Music around 2016, and together explore styles ranging from folk to motown. The name of the duo was conceived by a 4-year-old audience member in the summer of 2017 on a Boston Harbor Island when he exclaimed, "Mommy, that's a big violin!". Shout out to you, little buddy, wherever you are. Things they both like include: - sad songs - dad jokes - making fun of heteronormativity -writing angry emails
