So this is a nice little bit of life convergence. Today I accepted a gig to be the social media director of the Boston Calling Music Festival, which debuts on City Hall Plaza this Memorial Day weekend, May 25 and 26. [Note: this won’t conflict with the Vanyaland 2.0 re-launch scheduled for a week from today.]
The headlining act of the fest’s second day, Sunday, New York’s THE NATIONAL just unveiled their new music video for “Sea of Love,” the first cut off new record Trouble Will Find Me. The album drops May 21, just before their Boston date near old Scollay Square.
The video allegedly pays tribute this this old clip from 1980s experimental Russian rock band Zvuki Mu. Or maybe it just rips it off (jk I Cool to see this emerge just as I was walking out of the Crash Line Productions’ Faneuil Hall offices. Boston Calling also features Marina & the Diamonds, Fun., Matt & Kim, and several others, including locals Caspian and Bad Rabbits. It is sold the eff out.
