I got to see Johann Johannsson last Sunday. The show was at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge, MA. Turnout was light. I think Crash Arts did a pretty poor job promoting the show.
The show itself was great. (Disclosure: I was given free tickets by the tour manager for my work at last years show at the Cambridge YMCA.) Material was off his last four releases.
Tuesday, I also saw John Doe and Exene Cervenka at the Paradise with my friend FreeEye2. Seating was cabaret style which is very unusual for a Paradise show. FreeEye2 and I got front row seats in front of John Doe despite getting there a half an hour after doors opened. The music was a great mix of X and Knitters stuff with a new song written by Exene. There was nothing off any of John's solo stuff.
PIL played in Boston at Royale (used to be the Roxy) Tuesday and Wednesday. I was off on a long travel day on Wednesday. To make up for it, I had dinner with my friends SurGGGe and Surge. SurGGGe made a wonderful risotto. PIL will be in Providence on Sunday and in Northhampton later. I may try to make one of those shows.
