Last night was the Boston Phoenix Music Awards at the Brighton Music Hall in Allston (total thing). Still not sure if this spontaneous eruption into the Star Spangled Banner in the green room after the Bruins won the Super Bowl was ironic, or 100% sincere. We may never know. Or care.
Sorry to be a buzzkill and talk about things that were good, but this was genuinely one of the most fun nights the Boston rock world has seen in a while, with some really awesome collaborations that no one in the shitty crowd seemed to care about. During one stretch house band Bodega Girls, who were running through classic Boston rock covers from the Pixies and Til Tuesday among others, invited members of The Real Kids, Dom, Amanda Palmer, Buffalo Tom, and Peter Wolf (natch) on stage to play. Pictures below.

Meanwhile out in the streets the hoodlums and college bros of Allston were surprisingly well behaved, despite a police presence, or rather because of a police presence, that looked like they were marching off to siege a castle.
