Boston Hassle Comp

Two of Boston's most active groups for planning and spreading the word about the coolest stuff around the city (namely Bodies of Water Arts and Crafts and Boston Counter Cultural Compass) now have a new affiliation: Boston Hassle. A new compilation has just been released under the name. The thirteen tracks are only available for now as a Playbutton, a wearable MP3 player badge.

Preview :: The Needy Visions - Los Visiones Nesecitados




Local heroes, The Needy Visions, have released their first vinyl LP today!!! At their shows, folks get into it like I've rarely seen. Dan Shea's goofy (yet badass) voice with a slight rasta flare always delivers the good times.

It's out on Motorcycleface and Bodies of Water Arts and Crafts. The sound is pretty good for guys that "got together barely being able to play their various instruments" and "recorded their record with no previous knowledge of the processes of recording" (as per their press release). Which I think always produces a unique work.

Their record release show is Saturday May 22nd with Tulsa, Mmoss, Life Partners and Maine Coons.

This thing might be hard to find online, because you may have to email either bodies of water of The Needy Visions to get it, but you should!!!
