Double Mega!

We’re back!  The show is back!  Yay!  Since we’ve been away for so long we’re dropping not one but two episodes of Bridges And Squares on ya head.  We’re calling it the Double Mega Comeback Show.  Where have we been?  We have been in a land I like to call Lazy Land.  We recently observed that people sometimes get lazy when they work full-time and try to produce a podcast in their spare time.  Alas, there is too much good music in Boston to not jump back on the podcast trail.  For our Double Mega return we have two completely different bands as guests.  On part 1 we have the well crafted alternative rock of Alchemilla.  For part 2 we have the energetic and fun punk rock of Radio Control.  These two bands show the breadth of rock we play here in Boston.  So we are gonna finish up the year strong and try our best not to procrastinate on releasing new shows.  Let us know if you want to help out the show. We always want a new voice and any aide will be greatly appreciated.  Keep emailing bands you want us to have as guests too!  Support these bands.  They rock!

Enjoy the shows punks!

Bridges And Squares 08 - Alchemilla

Alchemilla is one of the hottest bands in Boston.  Since they dropped their new album, Chasing Ghosts, they can’t stop getting played on the radio.  Their music combines well-crafted hard-rock with Kat Burke’s soaring vocals.  Good singers are few and far between these days so it is nice to hear a truly talented singer like Kat.  Plus, their music is tight.  These guys come ready to perform and always blow people away at their shows.  On our show, the well traveled band tells us about the best and worst clubs they have played in Boston.  They also let us in on how they got their songs on the Rock Band network.  They are currently writing and recording new music in their hidden lair but they should playing shows again in the near future.  Check them out on one of a hundred Internet locations, they are always up to something cool.  Support these guys and buy their album Chasing Ghosts!

Full Disclosure:  We screwed up recording their bass.  We thought we recored everything fine but somehow lost their bass track.  We managed to isolate the bass from one of our overhead mics and it sounds pretty good but it would have sounded better if we didn’t screw it up recording the bass in the first place.
