Hailing from Boston, and playing what’s described as “post punk” since 1979, Mission of Burma’s current tour, of University rec rooms, and small venues, packs in a nice mix of young music fans, and middle age fans that haven’t seen them in 25- 30 years.
The sound at a show this weekend was amazing, filled with timeless energy, and tape loops,transcending 3 generations of indie critics, fans and wierdos.
Check out Michael Azerrad’s account of the the post punk era, from 81- 91 in “Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground”, a great read for music fans.
