Indie

Michael Sachs (clarinet & vocals, NYC) and Aaron Darrell (bass & vocals, SVILLE) met in Boston around 2009. They formed a band with drummer Jun Young Song called MATADOR, which held down a monthly residency in Cambridge for a year and half, and published their debut recording on BIRN records, BIRN's first release as well. Since then they have both been active touring musicians, parading around the country sharing their unique style of composition and improvisation. After Jun left for Korea, Aaron & Michael formed the duo "Cover Letter" composed of music written by both members. It is at once beautiful and frightening, and loaded with sparkling personality.

Come one, come all to the Goondocks' annual Porchfest Extravaganza! Music, refreshments, and an overall level of fun so dangerously close to the legal limit that Mayor Curtatone will have to retain a specially appointed brigade of Fun Police on stand-by! We get knocked down, we get up again, you're never gonna keep us down. 2:00 p.m. to ~10:00 p.m with bands from 4:00 to 6:00.

Rock your face off with Poor Everybody (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Poor-Everybody/255644811138780), trip out on ambient rock from Maximum Hackman, and let your dirty hipster side hang out with The Best Ever All-Girl Indie Cover Band Out of Boston!

MJEML was a CBS best local rock band 2013, in part because of numerous multimedia projects and collaborations including Faith in Free - an original live rock ballet at Dorchester’s historic Strand Theatre with BalletRox, Art-Music Exchange - a collaboration with 5 visual artists creating songs based on visual works and visual works based on songs, songs to celebrate each of the speakers at TEDxSomerville, and a continuing run as the house band at the nationally franchised Encyclopedia Show. The Library has recorded several albums, live sessions for Daytrotter, Laundromatinee, Sleepover Shows, and Kitchen Sessions, and made short films (A Brief History of Flight, Los Locos Trilogy).

Americana/Folk with originals by Lucy and covers by the whole group. There will be fiddles, xylophones, voices of all shapes and colors, and guitars too. Lucy does classical music by trade, so be prepared for a bit of Bach at some point. Swing on by, we'll be on the back porch with plenty of room for folks on the lawn.

Indie-Rock, Pop, Soul

Stephanie Melikian (drummer) and Gilmore Tamny (guitar, vox). Pro-art, pro-rawk, pro-lady, pro-punk, pro-sound. Anti-other things. We are just about to put out a record on Bandcamp, so the link will be updated very soon.

Technically speaking, TW Walsh doesn't exist on this
plane. However, his avatar, a six-foot tall male human, translates his
astral mind emanations into something suitable for physical
limitations of the human ear.

Nohere Lights are Neil Lawrence, Chris Forkey, John Glenshaw, and Michael Murray. Nowhere Lights plays spacey Americana, like a band in the middle of the ocean.

Frank Black Appreciation Quartet is Ryan Barret, John Beck, Joe Elia, and Michael Murray. We are playing a selection of porch-friendly Frank Black songs, because we are fans.

Hot Molasses delivers tunes that pop like the New Pornographers, wink like the Kinks, and bounce like Talking Heads. Named for the great Molasses Flood of 1919, the band's raucous live show shakes your shoes, sweetens your batter, and pleases ALL of the toddlers.
