Here’s some very cool news for music fans in the Boston area. There’s a new club in town, and a new record store as well (yes, a record store), both moving into what’s turning out to be the next Hipster Haven, Union Square in Somerville. Already there’s P.A’s Lounge, Sally O’Brien’s, Precinct and Starlab. Add to that Radio, which has its grand opening October 7. And while you’re waiting for the first band to come on, you can do a little rekkid shopping at Somerville Grooves.

Caveman with The War On Drugs, Porcelain Raft
at Brighton Music Hall
Sunday, August 21, 2011 – TONIGHT!
Doors at 8 PM; Show at 9 PM; 18+ show
Advance Box Office Price $10 | buy tickets
Why “Caveman”? Why not “Primordial,” or “Palaeolithic,” or “Troglodyte,” or “Aborigine”? Never mind; all that matters is that their music is luxuriously primative, dreamy space pop with 4-part harmonies, little blasts of cosmic madness, and some hypnotic tribal drumming.
Since coming together at the start of 2010, Caveman have already toured with some impressive bands – Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes, White Rabbits, Here We Go Magic, Cursive, Wye Oak and Yuck.
To celebrate their debut album, CoCo Beware (digital release 9/13; CD and vinyl on 11/15), they’re on tour with The War On Drugs, and will be decending on The Brighton Music Hall on Sunday night to caress and then melt your ears for a little while.
If you’re in New York next month, you can celebrate the release at the Mercury Lounge on September 15th.

Bob Dylan and his band

There’s this promising ‘up-and-coming’ singer-songwriter from Duluth, Minnesota, going by the name of Bob Dylan, who has been composing some pretty good songs and performing around locally for a few years. He accompanies himself primarily on guitar and harmonica, and dabbles in a variety of styles, from folk to blues, gospel, country, alt-country and rock, with a curiously grating vocal style that I actually find quite endearing. His songs have a special poignancy (and some of them are quite long), but it’s unknown if he can appeal to a larger audience. Nevertheless, it’s a gamble he’s willing to take, as he’ll be playing with his band at the 2400 capacity House of Blues on Sunday night.

One of my personal favorites – the dark, luscious and mysterious Jaggery – is in the midst of some special performances at the cozy Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, for their first ever residency. Supporting them are some of Boston’s most fascinating musicians with new bands and projects.

Boston multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Mike Fiore of Faces On Film will (with a full band) be performing music from his beautifully dreamy just reissued Some Weather album (Nice Music Group). It’s an attractive mix of 60s Brit, Americana and old-timey. He’ll be joined by San Francisco musician Mirah. Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn has been performing since 1997, releasing over a dozen recordings (most recently on K Records), and collaborating with such artists as Ginger Brooks Takahashi, Black Cat Orchestra, Phil Elvrum (Microphones), and Tune-Yards. Her latest recording, with Thao Nguyen (with whom she’s toured) features her sweetly disarming, precocious vocals, which then take off and seriously wail when you least expect it. Spinning tunes between sets will be DJ LeahV. The concert is in a lovely outdoor setting, the MFA’s Calderwood Courtyard.
