Had the pleasure of checking out the infamous Wadzilla Mansion this past weekend. It's an Allston-based, live music venue started by a couple Northeastern kids including some old friends of mine. Really good concept, providing quality, cheap indie music on a consistent basis, as they have parties every other week it seems. The range of shows they book is quite diverse, from folk nights to hip hop to label release parties.
I was over there recently for a show they had, featuring Born Empty, KID:NAP:KIN, and Dirty Dishes. I had never heard of any of these bands before, but in the indie rock world there are always way too many bands to keep track of anyways. Missed the first act, but was there for KID:NAP:KIN rockin' out pretty hard. The last band, Dirty Dishes was pretty good too. Sweet venue, really packed little basement area full of kids, with a corner for the band all painted nicely. The acoustics were great and you could hear the music from the whole house, which I really liked. Allston is tight like that because you can blast music anytime, especially in that neighborhood.
Anyways, definitely a cool setup and wish them the best in the future. They are always accepting demos for booking in the future, this is their website here and you can check 'em out on Facebook here
