These internet radio hosts have created a late night, local music party on Lansdowne Street just for you.
Oh, and it’s free.
“I don’t think it’s a choice to keep your passion going to be honest with you. It’s a weird thing, a force that pulls you in. And then it defines you, and you don’t even question it.”
Mutiny on the Microphone and
RadioBDC have announced a free, 2-night event entitled
‘Late Night on Lansdowne’ featuring a nightly lineup of now trending bands along with special guests all happening at
Bill’s Bar December 27th and 28th.
“With this year’s [Hometown Throwdown] theme being a throwback to
The Rat, some people are talking about how the 'scene died’ when The Rat closed, or reminiscing about the past, thinking that our current set up just isn’t the same. I’d like to counter that argument with this showcase,” Mutiny on the Microphone founder and host
Adam Blye explains.
“‘Late Night On Lansdowne’ pays homage to our experiences and excitement of discovering new music organically while attending shows. Back in the day you would get handed bags of swag after a show; flyers, pins, stickers, CDs of local bands of similar sound. Although that might not be the thing to do anymore, we can still connect listeners with music in a creative, natural way. It’s our job as curators to guide people to these bands.”
Both digital airwaves co-presenters are compromised of former terrestrial radio personal. With the fall of influencers like
WBCN and
WFNX, changing formats, shifting genres, closing clubs, and the looming fog of a bygone era in music, it’s easy to wonder how some people maintain their passion.
“I don’t think it’s a choice to keep your passion going to be honest with you,” Blye confesses. “It’s a weird thing, a force that pulls you in. And then it defines you, and you don’t even question it.”
Participating 'Late Night On Lansdowne' bands are being announced daily, with night #1 already set to include
The Bonnets (3 piece punkadelic band from Lyndonville, Vermont) and local favorites
Bundles plus special guests yet to be revealed. The remaining bands for night #2 will be announced on the
Facebook event page on December 10th and 11th. Both nights are FREE,
21+ with valid ID and entry is first come first served.
