Gig-tastic

Mar 1, ’07 12:31 AM

That’s right folks, this month is gig-tastic. Every Thursday (starting this Thursday) Boston Common is at Paddy O’s, with occasional gigs at The Tap. Chet has two gigs this month, both 18+, and Matt Germak Band has a gig at Sweetwater at the end of the month.

So come on out & enjoy some of my shows!

Cool new band

Feb 23, ’07 12:11 AM

Just want to let everyone know they need to check out The Ascetic Junkies as soon as possible; they’re a really fun bluegrass/folk group that just got started here in Boston, having played their first gig Wednesday night opening for Chet.

Gigs a plenty

Feb 2, ’07 9:58 PM

I’m sure anyone who happens to be reading this has noticed that the upcoming.org panel in the sidebar continues to be full of gigs, which is, as always, a Good Thing™. Boston Common, being the working cover band, is the busiest of the three groups I’m in, but Chet has 3 shows coming up this month & in March, and the Matt Germak Band has a headlining gig at Harpers Ferry next Wednesday! So that’s very cool, as Harpers is one of the best gigs in town (alongside the Paradise Lounge, TT the Bear’s, and the Middle East Upstairs). Chet will be at the Revolution Rock Bar, which is this pretty hip new joint downtown, on Wed the 21st.

As for other things, just finished the second week of classes; gonna be one hell of a semester, but I’ll get it done. Ready to finish up Berklee, have my degree, and make a move on some things I’ve had in mind for a while. Putting together a working jazz band (probably piano/bass/drums, with a trumpeter & vocalist) is something I’ve wanted to do for a long while, and I’ve had some folks in mind for some time for it…

Radio airplay

Jun 26, ’06 5:33 AM

Wow. One of the bands I play with, the Matt Germak Band received airplay on 92.9 FM WBOS tonight.

I never thought I’d hear myself playing on a major FM radio station, but there it was. Really wild. Definitely not something I ever ever thought would happen to me. They played “Five O’Clock Shadow” and promoted our show this Wednesday night at Harpers Ferry (we’re headlining, 11pm, 21+, $5 if you want to come out). Amazing. Just amazing.

Gig tonight!

Feb 10, ’06 12:34 AM

Got a gig tonight! I get all kinds of antsy before these things. Second show with buddies Matty & Joe on drums & guitar, but we’ve worked out some more stuff this time, so it should go even better than the Harper’s Ferry gig last month. Playhouse Lounge @ the Charles Playhouse, 21+ $5, 10:30pm set if you happen to read this & be in Boston. Wish me luck, and wish Matt & I luck in NYC on Sunday for our Mercury Lounge (!) gig.
