Rock Gods #270: Adventures in Our Little Music Scene

Last column, we misused the word “anachronism.” Some grammarian pals at the college on the hill corrected in such a snotty manner that their Wite-Out went up our nose.

What the spell-checkers din’t know if that we were deliberately punning on The Anachros, which was the band the Formal DeHydes descended from. So we may brandish our creative license, surely.

Guitar-wielding comedian Advanced Heel has his first-ever solo headlining set Sunday at the Bullfinch. “I’ve never headlined before, on purpose,” Heel swears. “I know how weird what I do is.” Yet one of his radio rants is catching on at college radio and he wants to be “prepared.” Heel’s not the first to test such waters at the Bullfinch. If you can stand a doule-sized set of strummed comedy, which follows an aggressive set by Size 14 Shoe, stick around, and shout catchphrases such as “And then I hated…” or “Set me loose…” or of course the fast-rising “Dial me down!”

 

Only 5 Minutes (which never is) opens for One Use at the Bullfinch tonight. Nothing funny there at all… Hamilton’s has Grape Beverage and Jerky Gift Box, European and Jamaican dance covers respectively… An Evening With Nero Kwik at D’ollaire’s. Didn’t he just have that one hit, on his only album? What the hell kind of evening is that?…
