April brings the Together Electronic Music Festival. I’ve listed my highlights.
Mar 202012
The first in a series of Fuse podcasts. This inaugural (and experimental) outing samples the best in underground music.
March brings a solid lineup of experimental music, including electronic and indie rock shows. The indisputable highlight of the month is Steve Reich at MIT.
Worth checking out in February: a few solid experimental shows.
The latter half of January brings several outstanding underground music shows to Boston.
MIT saves a December void of underground musical events by hosting Florian Hecker and Terry Riley.
There isn’t much going on in November. The highlights of the month are the Omar Souleyman and Felix Kubin shows, so try to make it to one of those.
The October highlight for Underground Music is the Homegrown Festival. The 3-day gathering runs on the weekend of October 14 and features a lot of local and national acts.

A relative lack of shows leaves for a somewhat empty, final summer month. However, there should be a lot more going on once the college students return to Boston in September.
July brings lots of psychedelic rock music. Be sure to check out the Gang Gang Dance show if you can.
The biggest event this June is the Wilco-curated Solid Sound Festival at the MASS MoCA in North Adams. A couple of these bands will also be playing shows in Boston around the same time as the festival.
Odd Future is the biggest show this month for sure. Get in if you can. Otherwise, the Lightning Bolt and Big Freedia shows should be a blast. By David Cooper.
Things are heating up in Boston this month with some more indie pop, psychedelic rock, and electronic shows. Also, we’re starting to get some legitimate dance music from across the pond, a trend that will most likely continue. Get out [...]
With Returnal, Daniel Lopatin proves that noise can be beautiful and original. The album is a piece of (Neo?) New Age psychedelia, taking cues from the electronic experiments of the Berlin School. Returnal by Oneohtrix Point Never. Editions Mego. By [...]
Escape the cold with some good live music this February. These are the shows I would be going to if I had the time and resources. While some fit into the cultural zeitgeist more than others, I predict that all [...]
April brings lifted spirits, the Together Electronic Music Festival and psychedelia. The Deep Heaven Now Festival features psych, ambient and shoegaze music. The Together Music Festival has a heavy lineup full of dance and electronic music.
