Show Review -- MMOSS January 11, 2011, Middle East Upstairs
I had resigned myself to the fact that I was born in the wrong decade, that I would never have the opportunity to see great psychedelic music played live. Sure, I could catch the elderly hippies on their reunion tours, playing watered down versions of their 30-year old hits, made tame for their equally elderly audience. But to see the real thing, being written and created by contemporary musicians and performed with a fresh passion that captures my image of those classic shows of the late Sixties; I was sure I was out of luck. Enter MMOSS.

Invictus Picks -- Slothrust -- Misnomer
Joe Saliba's (of Mad Oak Studios in Allston) first sentence to me was "So I hear you like Deerhunter?", then he gave me the Fluorescent Grey EP and we've been turning each other onto bands ever since. His most recent find is female-fronted, Slothrust, rock music that well, rocks.
Do you remember the first time you heard Karen O belt out, "As a fuck son you sucked" and you thought, "Damn, this chick has balls!"? Slothrust's Leah Wellbaum has the same effect. You'll see after you listen to "Misnomer".

The Deli Sunday Residency -- Daniel Harris, Creek River String Band, Dogs on Television @ Precinct 1/16
The Sundays at Precinct Deli Residency continues on the 16th with three stellar bands!
Daniel Harris -- members of The Doctors Fox -- 9pm
a la Sufjan Stevens meets Nirvana unplugged meets Daniel Lanois
Creek River String Band -- 10pm
"High-energy bluegrass, Tex-Mex, country blues, folk, Celtic, rags, Old Time, and more, including some acoustic versions of more modern stuff (e.g, Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al,” which always gets ‘em dancing). We also do a good number of originals. Think Session Americana without the table...basically the same instrumentation and vibe" -- Stroker
Dogs on Television -- 11pm
"Dogs on Television is headed for the bright lights. It's a machine that runs on rock n' roll. It's a barbaric yawp that dives into your ear, tickles your brain, stirs your heart, and hits your spine like a lightning bolt. Based in the Boston area, DoTV is committed to bringing an explosive energy to the stage and having as much fun as possible on the way. DoTV howls loud and promises a grand revolution of unbridled rock intensity!" -- from DoTV FB page
Doors at 8pm and the cover is 7 bux. 21+ Precinct has great food and beer as well.
