This Friday, March 11, marks the first installment of This Blue Heaven‘s spring residency at the Rosebud Bar (2nd Fridays of March/April/May).
This Blue Heaven is female-fronted power pop bursting from the heart of the Boston indie rock scene. Catchy but never canned, the quintet’s rich, melodic offerings, delivered with brazen innocence by front-woman MacKenzie Outlund, beckon you into a vibrant world of shimmering guitars, hooky synths, and driving beats. In three years together, the band has drawn comparisons to Cyndi Lauper, Death Cab For Cutie, and U2. Fans crowd clubs across New England and beyond to join the colorfully clad group in their signature handclaps and "whoa-ohs".
The group’s latest project is "Spinning and Shining," a five-song EP produced by Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies) and released in August 2010.
The complete line-up for Friday’s show is as follows:
9:00 – Yes Sir (members of MEandJOANCOLLINS & BirdsMakeBirds)
9:55 – Alta Mira (from Albany, NY)
10:50 – Streight Angular
