The DeLuvians braved a downpour—75 miles of it—to make their opening set Thursday night at the Bullfinch. “We’ve never missed a show,” they bragged, while admitting that most of the shows they’ve played are within a couple of miles of their shared domicile along the shoreline. They play a lot of lobster shacks and roadhouses along the tourist strip.

So who did miss the show? Everyone else, including us. We slid in, sodden, soon as we could, for headliners Ptune, who mocked the turn-out as “torrential” and made swimming gestures whilst he sang.

The DeLuvians stuck around town rather than drive home, and got an open-air road race gig tomorrow in the center of town. There is no rain date.

Tonight: Facebaby at the Bullfinch, making up songs from ideas sent via phone from friends. … King King and the Double Dukes at Hamilton’s, swinging the soul covers with that insane sax section… An Evening with Ham & Mac (formerly of Cheeses Crust) at D’Ollaire’s. Acoustic novelty songs. What is the world coming to—no, wait, sounds cool, we’re in. …
