lovely young lads in a band called comma.
comma is an experimental 3-piece from boston. music, purposely subject-to-change, is currently self-described as "barry white's love unlimited orchestra with a stompbox, porno for pyros meets rick james, flipper doing prince covers with sprinkles (we call them jimmies 'round here) of melodic beatle-esque influences, velvet underground rawness, ol' radiohead & Eno atmospheric tendencies and the love of hip hop & good DJs"...soul, funk, punk, fpunk, pop, rock, avante rock...sound-music. music that makes you do something, not stand & watch with chin on hand. kinda like blur, the clash, beck, franz rerdinand. "cliché" music w/o boundaries. music like when grandma hits the dance floor at a wedding when the DJ spins the clash but sits and mows cake during journey. sometimes like some of those TIME LIFE classics on late night infommericials you see where you're like "that's a kickin' song, i can groove to this shit" and you get up off the couch and start kickin' it. listeners lookin for stories & epic musicals need not apply.
comma's hit stages in the boston/cambridge circuit; PAs Lounge, T.T. the Bear's, Abbey Lounge, Harper's Ferry, Kirkland Cafe, The Linwood, All Asia, Copperfield's & others sharing bills with cool acts like the globs, vary lumar, pray for polanski, 25Affair, eureka gold, lights, fenwick, fhe bludlows, and Iceland pop sensation Dyrdin. obvious "rite of passage" apartment gigs...comma was a featured band at the now-defunct lower allston art gallery 2012, and the "Music Box" at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in N. Adams.
currntly, comma has a 4 song EP and/or an "OK demo." drums recorded at kissy pig in Allston all else DIY. mixed in San Juan PR.
