The Weekly Vibe No 51

A great time of the year to get the Mistletoe out, snuggle up to someone you know, crack open the Kaliber and really enter into the spirit of the holidays!

At Murphy's we have a bit of experience of these things, so without further ado let the good times roll and Happy Xmas, Peace on Earth and Let the good times roll.

This weeks FREE MP3 is from Three Day Threshold. A great band that are playing at Murphy's for about the third time this year. Truly great stuff and a band on the rise what with
their association with HI N DRY Records. Classic bluegrass riffs with punk rock's hard edge.

FRIDAY: 3 Day Threshold

Classic bluegrass rifts with punk rock's hard edge..The Boston Herald said: "Boston's Three Day Threshold has a felicitously original sound. Combining the best of The Rolling Stones, The Pogues, Little Feat and Johnny Cash, Three Day Threshold gets juiced up. 3DTs songs are energetic, loud and crafted with terrific hooks."

esque guitar treatment.

Latin and Caribbean rhythms, intricate vocal harmonies, and original songs in Spanish, French, English, Haitian Creole and Portuguese. Based out of New York City, this band is a treat.

SATURDAY: Gypsy Schaeffer

Andy Voelker leads this up and at them Jazz act with distinction. Tight rhythms and superb arrangements feature on this gig. Andy is the Sax player in the Thursday night Jazz band at Murphy's, a top bloke and if you ask him if he wants a beer, he might say yes.

SUNDAY: Void Union

Void Union is the band to watch this year! A collective of Thad Merritt (Bass), Jesse Hayes (Drums), Rich Graiko (Trumpet), John DeCarlo (Guitar), and Josh Cohen (Tenor Sax). Vibe music to keep people on the dance floor all night long with timeless Jamaican grooves. Keep and eye out for the next Gwen Stefani on guest lead vocals...sensational.

MONDAY: Madi Diaz

Madi Diaz is one of those performers who will endure no matter what. Young gifted ....everything else. Soulful songs full of hurt, yearning and hope.

TUESDAY: Public House

Geoff Scott returns with Mike Rivard and Brian Sayers and Timo Shanko to show everyone why they are at the Pub in the first place. Six years on and going STRONG. Music experimentation,
stretching of the musical mind muscle. Post jam sounds of the nth degree get your pulse racing for the mid week weekend at Murphy's.

Expect a great crowd for what remains the best night in Boston bar none.

Thursday: Wild Sextet

Sumptuous melodies and amazing playing on a par with anything you would get in New York or Chicago. Coming up for their Fifth anniversary of playing every Thursday night at Matt Murphy's Pub. Original tunes inspired by the greats from the Fifties and Sixties. Listen and enjoy.

The Weekly Vibe no 49 Vibewise

The Weekly Vibe No 49

As we gear up for the Xmas onslaught we are taking time out to check our heads and appreciate what we have on offer. No more Gary Glitter Xmas concerts, (unless you are in a Thai jail of course) so here at Murphy's we give you the primer for the Holiday season. Sit back, grab a beer and relax. Tell the family the recession is nigh and forget about any presents for a few years. The best music comes from hard times. So here's to hard times!

This weeks FREE MP3 is from Vibewise. A classic tune from the boys. We love the fact someone in Brookline can sing "Back to the Ghetto, Back to JP". Great stuff really, and when delivered by Ajahni even better. Do yourself another favor and head down to this.

FRIDAY: Zack Hillyard

Zack renders a funky pop aesthetic to what he does with a good looking tight band backing his heart felt paeans to love and loss. Mix a good looking Jamiroquai with Maroon 5 pop sensibilities and you get the picture. One for the ladies.

SATURDAY: Rogue Heroes

High octane rock n' roll with a groove. The band pours shots of all genres into their signature punk rock cocktail. Sounds like Elvis after three weeks in Vegas. New Album "The King is Dead" out Nov.8th.

SUNDAY: Vibewise

Ajahni teams up with his band Vibewise for another foray on the Reggae excursion. Lyrics that inspire and question, a performance like no other, a voice so distinct you have to take notice.
The band lends a top support to this ball of energy that really is a symphony of vibe.

MONDAY: Seamonsters

Christian McNeil is a well kent face aroond toon. In other words a legend on the local scene. A powerhouse voice and a turn of phrase that lends itself perfectly to the song form, this is the Ulster version of where Bono would be if he had split U2 up in their prime (and saved us the aural nightmares hitherto) and teamed up with a bunch of hungry Waterboys. Add in a mellow Black Francis and you are almost there. Music to grab you by the heart and make you fall in love all over again.
Did we say we think they are magnificent?

TUESDAY: B3 KINGS

Here for the next round of Tuesdays is the ever popular B3 kings on a mission to convert everyone to the Church of B3. Boogaloo meets Reggae with some serious attitude. We are talking Brian Thomas (Akashic, JBB) and Timo Shanko on all out attack mode. Sensational musicianship with an up for it crowd.
