The commenters on yesterday's post about the unforgiveably awful Sonic Youth-Feelies show at the Wilbur Theatre have raised a lot of thoughtful points about the state of touring rock shows in today's world. Sound techs on a the professional message board ProSoundWeb noticed the post yesterday and chimed in with their own advice,...

Sonic Youth and the Feelies sold out the Wilbur Theatre on Sunday. Over the course of the evening, 10 musicians took the stage. But there were no rock stars. These bands don't...

Photo of Theater District tagged "Bostonist" by Antydiluvian . Boston's worst live music venue, the Wilbur Theatre, on the left. Is there a shittier live music venue in Boston than the Wilbur Theatre? We hope not. Let's just say that it takes an advanced level of suck to cancel out the awesomeness that is a Sonic Youth-Feelies concert and that the Wilbur Theatre managed to conjure it. We...

It was The YOI's most successful night at 93 Feet East last week and I got lucky and happened to be behind the decks for some of it. I'd chosen to go down the indie/rock route and it seemed to go down well, suiting the kind of club that 93 Feet East is. Here's what I played, in a slightly random order (and it was a two and a half hour set so it's quite a big list)... Passion Pit - Sleepyhead The Virgins...

When I'm downloading from my record collection to my iPod, I rarely download albums in their entirety. Even though I've only tapped one-fifth of my iPod's storage capacity so far, I'm hesitant to download entire albums because, quite frankly, few...

The Feelies: Crazy Rhythms If Domino continues to invest its Arctic Monkeys millions in remastered re-releases like this pair, I’ll have no complaints. Looking at my much-cherished vinyl copies I’ve always thought that these should be released in additional formats and my prayers to the god of pop have finally been answered. Hailing from suburban New Jersey, the Feelies are clearly inspired...

A particular style of American punk from the 80s gets a [dumb] name.

by Kevin Cole To paraphrase the band Pavement, bands are reuniting each and every day… (Hey, even the band I just paraphrased!) But one of the reunions I’ve been most excited about is seeing New Jersey legends The Feelies back together. Taking their name from Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, The Feelies did indeed enter [...]

The Feelies, whose enduring cultural legacy is inspiring the covers of increasingly terrible Weezer albums, were always a victim of geography. If they had moved to New York City, they might have been as popular as their nervous punk and post-punk contemporaries. Instead, they were from Haledon, New Jersey, which is as good as saying you’re from Wichita, when it comes down to it. Instead, languished...

It’s not often that a look at two album covers by the same band make it possible to figure out the musical differences between them, but in the case of the Feelies’ The Good Earth and their debut album, Crazy Rhythms, it’s almost too easy. Crazy Rhythms’ sterile cover lets you know it would be full of sterile music (which isn’t meant as a slight), and The Good Earth’s...

On a post-punk evolutionary scale, The Feelies sat fittingly between Talking Heads and Mission Of Burma; encompassing the giddy neurosis of the former and the kinetic, rhythmically insistent propulsion of the latter. Pointing towards the indistinct melodicism of REM's Murmur , the bright yet oblique Crazy Rhythms makes for an impressive missing link.

The Feelies were one of hundreds, if not thousands, of bands influenced by the Velvet Underground. Over four albums, the Feelies proved that they were one of the greatest VU-influenced bands ever to plug in. Bar/None ’s recent reissuing of the Feelies’ first two LPs, Crazy Rhythms and The Good Earth , offers fans a good reason to revisit their special breed of rock and makes it easy for...
