The True Jacqueline - Instead
Although they’ve been around for the past couple of years it’s nice to see local band The True Jacqueline gaining in popularity in the Northampton music scene. Poppy shoegaze at its finest. Give this song a listen. It’s fun and peppy and reminiscent of the music I was listening to in high school…

WGD are playing a party at my house in a few weeks. They are one of my favorite of the local bands. This song makes me happy. Give it a listen…
Fancy Trash - Windows
Recorded live at The Elevens in Northampton, MA on 12/03/05
Again… I was at this show. I adore Fancy Trash. Apologies for the lousy sound quality. This is another one of the better bands from my neck of the woods. Well worth checking out.
(before i continue i’d like to invite you all to click on the three links at the bottom of the page and give each band a quick listen. i realize that this post is more geared towards Massholes but i think that a ton of you would really enjoy these three bands… thanks!)
Dear Tumblr users within driving distance of Massachusetts,
You probably don’t realize it but this is an EPIC bill. This is going to be one of those concerts that people will be telling their grandchildren about. $3???? $3!!!!
There is no acceptable excuse why you wouldn’t go to this show! Of course, it is 21+ so there is that…
ALSO! It’s at The Sierra Grille which means AMAZING beer and REALLY GOOD (and super cheap!) food!!!

Spanish For Hitchhiking? Yeah, you can also listen to them here
My housemate Azwan made a movie a year or so ago called Off Da Chain. This is ‘When Thugz Cry’ which is featured in the film. It’s pretty amazing and I urge all of you to watch it.
