It had been a solid 8 years since I’d seen that much energy packed into a few hours. This past Friday night at Once Somerville, Ron Gallo, Naked Giants, and Gym Shorts stormed the stage and left all of those in attendance grinning like fools and wondering what just hit them. If you’ve never seen Ron Gallo and his cohorts perform their wizardry, the experience is something you should set your mind to getting out for.

Mixtape | February 2017

We’re psyched to hear new songs from Blondie (yes that Blondie), Andrew Combs, Matt Vazquez, the Shins, Foxygen, Father John Misty and tons more. I’ve had a ton of fun putting this together, and hope you enjoy.

Video Premiere | Ron Gallo – Fine Diners & Fine Whiners

So when we heard Gallo was releasing his own solo record, we were more than intrigued. Then we pressed play, and it wasn’t what we were expecting at all. Gallo’s solo record, Ronny, available on his bandcamp, is a blend of slow pop, weirdo country that hits with a good spirited, frank feel, like it’s straight out of the writer’s mind. As Bill Chenevert…
