Welcome to the beginning of an ongoing series…one of regular, show trades between Boston area performers and the myriad other satellite underground music/ art havens around New England/ upstate NY/ Canada and perhaps even beyond… that’s what we @ the Hassle are intending anyway.

One thing we know is that New England and the Northeast in general is FLUSH with amazing artists and performers doing amazing things. Our constant work has at its center the bringing together of these artists that are strewn across the region like some fucking Pollock kidddd!

And so we begin with the strange Mass. South Coast City of New Bedford. We’re calling this thing BOSTON BOOGER. CHARLIE from JP is heading down into the bowels and up from those very same bowels is coming BAYLIES BAND (exp. rock/ noise rock), PICNICLUNCH (featuring weird animator Mike Ribeiro), WILLIAM CONTOIS, and NODULE (mems. of PHANTOM GLUE). It will be weird, and you can thank us later for making sure that this New Bedford to Boston portal is wide open.
