Boston Accents 02.25.13: Aloud in-studio, plus Parks, Big Big Bucks, Hallelujah the Hills, Lifestyle, the Daily Pravda
Good times hanging in the WFNX studio today with Jen de la Osa and Henry Beguiristain of veteran Boston rock band ALOUD, who play T.T. The Bear's Place in Cambridge tomorrow night with Lifestyle and the Daily Pravda. The duo performed a stripped down set on the show today, unveiling two new songs, "After the Plague" and "Don't Let It Get You Down," and selected a majority of the show's playlist. We also spent a great deal talking about this brewing Modern Lovers vs Aerosmith battle in the State House.
Tomorrow we're joined by folk singer CALEB GROH, and on Thursday by Class of 2013 electro-pop trio CHILD ACTOR. But first, here's what we spun today on Boston Accents...
