Come on down to Great Scott on this night and celebrate Mystic Steamship Co.’s first year with a band roster worthy of this awesome recording studio/label’s birthday bash. First up, smart rock mainstays Bent Shapes skip through fields of flowers, chasing melodies with jangly guitars and poppy beats, singing songs that straddle the line between growing old and staying young at heart. To strike the balance, Earthquake Party! brings you lo-fi done fast, furious and fun; the songs end too soon, and will always leave you wanting more. Finally, two Boston bands that’ll have you pining for the summer shore, the unapologetic and always fantastical The Fagettes show you the definition of reverby decadence and Beware The Dangers Of The Ghost Scorpion will be the soundtrack to your next crime-noir-west-coast-Tarantino daydream. PLUS, the first 50 people at the door will get a Mystic Steamship Co. 2012 Retrospective Cassette…FOR FREE! You don’t gotta bring a gift, just yourself and a body ready to move on this Saturday night.
