Alien Drag

Alien Drag comes in peace. They mean no harm.

These noise-laden hook merchants inadvertently crash-landed their intergalactic shuttle on Boston’s Northshore, and are now unable to escape Earth’s strong gravitational pull. Strong, that is, compared to their home planet’s.

But, do not despair. In addition to spending their time assimilating to Earth’s customs, they also created “sound assemblages” in their spare time – just like they did back home. First came the sound assemblage album, Escape From Alpha. Next came three sound assemblage singles: “Lucky Trousers,” “RockMore,” and “Kiss Your Trash.”

Relax, and take it all in. Consider it all a goodwill gesture. A peace offering, if you will, from Alien Drag to the planet Earth.

It sounds just like it used to on the bridge of their Scrumbleship, as they traversed the galaxies.

Earth-based reactions to Escape From Alpha:

First of all: PLAY LOUD. Second of all, don’t listen to this collection expecting something either completely serious and conventional or something reputably avant-garde and somewhat boring. This is a curious mix of punk rock conventions yoked to bizarre, Queen-like grandiosity… ”
– Francis DiMenno, The Noise Boston

“After repeated listenings, you’ll agree, Escape from Alpha proves to be a diamond in the rough from a very clever quartet of rockers.”
– Doug Sloan, Metronome Magazine

“I love it, good music…”
– Adam12, RadioBDC broadcast

Performers:

T-J0N35 (Trent Jones) – Guitars, Vocals, Systems Engineering
E-81834ULT (Eric Bibeault) – Guitars, Vocals, Diplomacy

Chris O’Donnell

Heavily influenced by the British Invasion the as well as the progressive/alternative genre of the 1970s to present, Chris O’Donnell puts a soothing acoustic spin on six decades of rock and roll and alternative rock and roll music. ‘COD’ refrains from (most) pop rock, instead preferring to acoustically cover deeper cuts, 1980s synth-based songs and reviving those once loved but forgotten and those that connect with people. His influences include Pink Floyd and Muse — and everything rock, alt and prog in between.

Having stumbled into playing live music by accident in 2010, COD has played the local circuit of pubs and clubs throughout the North Shore on a regular basis the last seven years and has no intention of stopping.

Gary Shane

The North Shore rocker burst onto the scene 25 long years ago after teaming up with guitarist David Champagne and penning the reggae-informed hit Shadow World for the Shane-Champagne Band, a number that topped the WBCN-FM charts for months in 1979. That was back in the days of skinny ties and power-pop, during the brief era of the so-called new wave, a fabled time when an unsigned, local band could still make it on the strength of a few good tunes and a lot of hustle — even without a marketing plan or a Madison Avenue makeover. And now, three decades later, Gary Shane is still rocking! The band is playing just as hard, but better, and demonstrating again the power of its original musical vision.

Gavin Marengi Band

Gavin Marengi, a singer-songwriter from Salisbury, Massachusetts, is proud of and devoted to his community. His background in a small town and the experiences he had growing up are often reflected in the writing of his songs. The young man, who is only 15 years old, manages to captivate audiences everywhere he goes with his impressive guitar playing and raspy voice. His heartfelt music is a fusion of Americana, Classic Folk, Southern Rock, and Outlaw Country.

His song “Southbound” was his debut single that arrived on all platforms February 10th 2023. This song was a reflection on what he thinks and how he portrays his music journey if he left his small town of Salisbury. With a touch of heartfelt weeping slide guitars and a fast paced, catchy melody it shows the young 15 year old boy’s passion and ability to do what he loves, write songs. He has a 10 song album coming out in late March 2023. Stay tuned on this young man’s journey as we know there is something there. But he would just tell you he’s just a boy chasing a dream.
