[the phoenix presents] This Sunday: Yale, Massachusetts + Squarehead (Dublin) + Camp Island + Camden

One of those bands is garage pop trio SQUAREHEAD from Dublin, who play this Sunday at Great Scott with locals YALE, MASSACHUSETTS, CAMP ISLAND, and CAMDEN. We're co-presenting this one with the Dreamhouse Collective.

Earlier this year, we reviewed the Irish group's debut LP Yeah Nothing, writing:

Following the band's buzzed-about singles and spots opening for Titus Andronicus, Male Bonding, and No Age, Yeah Nothing is brimming with hit after hit of youthful punky power pop. With vocalist/guitarist Roy Duffy's Brian Wilson falsetto and sticky one-liners, plus bassist Ian McFarlane's harmonies, and Ruan van Vliet (of Tieranniesaur and Groom) on drums, Squarehead are a Wipers-inspired take on Phil Spector sensibilities. All 12 tracks — songs about girls, boredom, rock and roll, whiskey-induced adventures — could be singles.

Squarehead also play a stacked line-up tonight at LOREM IPSUM BOOKS in Cambridge with THE CLIPPERS, CAMP HOPE, and KRILL. Word on the street is they're playing a house show in Allston tomorrow night as well that you can get info about by emailing dreamhousecollective at gmail.

Did you know Squarehead are Morrissey's favorite Irish lo-fi pop band?

Did you know Yale, Massachusetts actually does not exist?

Did you know Lorem Ipsum Books has a vending machine that dispenses plastic eggs with hand-drawn artwork inside?
