About Us: Ted and Colin are music nerds. We pretend to be cool but as far as I can tell, we haven't fooled anybody.
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.

We made it! It’s here! You’re all excited right? Why can’t I hear anyone? For this episode, we have one of the bands I am most excited about in Boston right now, Ladderlegs! Be prepared to have your ears kicked in by their super quick set. We suffered in a stuffy, sweaty attic to record them but they played great music that night. We would have let them stretch it out but their neighbors would not have appreciated that so we had to cut it short. Boo!
We also have Al from Streight Angular on the show. They are up for Best New Act in the Boston Phoenix Best Music Pole (Vote for them here. Vote for them in this other contest here). Al lays out the bands candidacy on the show. If your not convinced to vote for them after hearing his political platform, listen to their awesome new song, Modern Age Blues 4 Happy Version and thank me later.
There are some technical problems on this one. I’m pretending that they were done on purpose for artistic purposes. Check out these bands! They put on great shows!
