OU comments: a year after playing in Spit (and broadcast on WFNX radio), they moved into the room Spit used to be a corner of, for a free concert, and broadcast it on WBCN. there was a big birthday cake for everyone to indulge in along with a nice concert, when voices carry and love in a vacuum had become local artist favorite songs. the crowd really liked it. And why not? It's 'Til Tuesday! they may be a pop group, and I don't listen to much pop music but this is nice pop music. Aimee went on to have a fairly successful album without TT which is also good, but this is where most of us in Boston first heard her (not necessarily this concert). How many bands do two encores at a free concert?
they obviously enjoyed playing this show, and everyone who heard it enjoyed it too. now a few more can hear it too.
