Lynne:
I put this over in my blog, but I'm gonna cross-post it here in the interest of *shameless* promotion:
"So I heard a local band last night and was most impressed! Curbide Saints is a two-guy operation (Nick and John), and it's amazing to see the energy in their performance. They're young, talented, and have tons of potential. Almost all of their material is original. The acoustics where they were playing were pretty awful, but I still liked what I heard - an interesting and unique sound, a little more metal than I listen to anymore, but the Gaelic/Irish pub seisiún influence comes through loud and clear.
There are three original tracks to download here:

Check them out!"
I saw Nick and John a few nights ago - told them I'd been posting about them. So, leave a comment and say you heard about them here! :-*

Anke and Milli, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, when I see Max Raabe in his Boston debut!
It's at the newly renovated Paramount Theatre.
Front-Ranger:
Oh this will be fun! Let us have your impressions afterwards, friend!
southendmd:
Wow, Max and the band were in fine form tonight.
They were the very first performance in the newly opened Paramount Theatre, originally a movie house built in 1932, shuttered for decades. Now it is restored to high Art Déco splendor, and belongs to Emerson College.
Max and his Palaster Orchester performed "A Night in Berlin" to a full house, of all ages. Songs from the 1920s and 30s, both in German and in English, some very familiar and some not so. Max has a voice that evokes early radio, with soaring falsetto, as well as his natural baritone. Songs were introduced simply with the composer and the year, but sometimes he would add a little patter in his slow, low-register speaking voice. He takes deadpan to new heights.
Max was dressed in impeccable tails, slicked hair, high-polished shoes. Totally in control. The 12-member band was brilliant and versatile, some playing multiple instruments, some singing. "Falling in Love Again" (in German) sung in tight harmony with five voices was a standout. Also, a dramatic "Miss Otis Regrets", and a raucous "Happy Days Are Here Again". Plus, some Kurt Weill, some pastiche, even Irving Berlin!
Sadly, no CDs for sale at the show.
