(June 15 - 17th) Taste of Randolph
Written by Lori Barrett
This weekend is Taste of Randolph Street. If you have kids who are able to stay up late, there are some bands playing that the whole family might enjoy. Friday night’s lineup includes the Broken West, Stephen Kellogg and, at 8:30, Fountains of Wayne. All three acts are pop enough for music fans of all ages. We’re hoping to be able to catch Fountains of Wayne. I played a couple of songs and videos for my 9-year-old on the other day, and he liked them, though I wish we could have skipped the many upper-torso closeups in the “Stacy’s Mom” video.
Local band the Changes play early on Saturday, at 5:30. This would be the perfect musical accompaniment to an al fresco dinner. The Walkmen play at 7:00, and the Smoking Popes play at 8:30, for those with little sk8er boys or girls.
Sunday afternoon there’s a Baby Loves Disco set at 2:30, and a treat for moms and dads of a certain age, Marshall Crenshaw. His set is also pretty early, at
6:30.
