As reported earlier,
Hassle Fest 7 preparations are under way and the
IndieGoGo campaign for festival raised more than $1,500 dollars in just 4 days!
$1,500 is only a small part of $10,000 goal, however, so you still have time to buy tickets (or donate as little as $10 dollars). For just 75 dollars you’ll get three-day pass to all the shows and afterparties! That’s a whole lot of music and shows and, of course, a chance to see legendary
Flipper performing with no less legendary
David Yow.

Allston Pudding’s Anna Marketti write-up on the festival as well!
Another campaign that is worth mentioning is now fully funded – we’re talking about
Twink’s wonderfully whimsical Dust Bunny LP, latest from the mind of mad Boston scientist
Mike Langlie! Congrats to Mike and his backers.
Its official!
Skyjelltober is on as our friend
Skyjelly hits the road travelling all over Rhode Island and Mass this month! He have five dates including performances at
Out of the Blue Gallery (Cambridge),
Seekonk Artist Network and
Firehouse 13 in Providence.
Charcoals of the Invisible man (aka
Chris Bynes) just released an album of piano instrumentals called
Etudes of Tonight. Chris is also running a
campaign to fund a video about his life via Save Our Legacy website.
Finally, there is an upcoming release of
Gargantua – second LP by
Space Mountain, a one man band of
Cole Kinsler. Charmingy lo-fi, the album should appeal to anyone who likes slightly off-kilter alternative/indie rock.
