In Boston you need to check out Bone Gunn. I cannot say enough good things about this band and especially their live show. Ridiculously high energy. I've seen them a couple of times and never been at all let down. The music is kind of weird but definitely grows on you. It is legitimately original... and by that I don't mean that they are a Radiohead or Mars Volta tribute band like most "highly original" bands of today. Lots of variety within the set... seriously... Check it out.

For something completely different from that, on a more folky tip, a girl named Ali McGinley is one of the best up and coming songwriters of today. Solo acoustic type of thing. I know... chick with acoustic guitar... but her songs are beautiful and VERY catchy. I mean... amazing. Enjoy!
