New Bowery Presents: Boston

Bowery Presents, the same entertainment group that brought New York such venues as the Bowery Ballroom, the Mercury Lounge, and the Music Hall of Williamsburg, is now teaming up with Boston's new Royale on Tremont Street to book many of the same acts that pass through New York. This is terrific news for the Boston music scene, which can now add one more club that books up and coming bands in an intimate atmosphere. The first Bowery Presents show will be April 22nd and will feature Karl Denson's Tiny Universe. Other acts that are already booked include Broken Bells, Deerhunter, and CocoRosie. Be sure to make it over to Royale this spring to see some of the best live talent in a great new setting.

Greyboy Allstars December Run

The venerable west coast funkateers known as the Greyboy Allstars are gearing up for a series of dates this December that will lead up to a New Year's Eve show in Denver at the Ogden Theatre. Lately, the band hasn't maintained the loaded touring schedule that they have in years past due to many successful side projects. Saxophonist Karl Denson has been very busy with his solo band Karl Denson's Tiny Universe. Check out their latest album Brother's Keeper, it's one of the year's best jazz-funk releases. Guitarist Elgin Park was busy scoring Judd Apatow's latest film Funny People while Robert Walter and drummer Aaron Redfield have produced and performed on albums by other bands and artists. The upcoming mini-tour will bring the Greyboy Allstars over to the east coast for series of dates and then back to the west coast by the end of the month. If any east-coasters are unfamiliar with these guys, a good east coast comparison is Lettuce, but with a bit more sax and B3. Basically, the Greyboy Allstars know how to start a party, so if you're starting to cool off to this chilly east coast weather, come out for a show and watch these guys bring the heat.
