"Nothing ever happens for the reasons we decide."
We stumbled across Sleeper Agent, an indie-rock-gone-punk band through routine music networking back in February. One listen to their debut album, Celabrasion, with its infectious chords, gripping rhythms and addictive lyrics, and our team here at Bluebirdreviews was hooked! Sleeper Agent says they were inspired by Cage the Elephant and is proud to tour with Ben Kweller. We were already fired up to cover their show at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston on March 23, 2012. Then the night before they hit a nearly sold out crowd in Beantown, they were televised on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and sold out the Irving Plaza in NYC for Saturday's show.

I was fortunate enough to photograph and review Prospect Hill, soon after their album release, IMPACT, was celebrated with a party at the famous Wilbur Theatre in Boston, MA.
This time the setting was at Wally's Pub, which is well known as Hampton Beach's oldest biker hang out. With stellar food, awesome staff and friendly clientele, the venue was ready to welcome Prospect Hill. The stage was decked out with the band's banners, projecting blue lights.

Why You Should See "Frampton Comes Alive!" on Tour.
Frampton Comes Alive at the Hanover Theatre: Worcester, MA February 4, 2012
Steam came from behind the drums as the set opened on this ornate theatre. Peter Frampton is announced and videos of the album "FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE!" were projected onto the screen behind the stage. Peter walked toward the crowd with his arms stretched out. He wasted no time getting into the first song of this legendary album, "It's Alright, Something's Happening!" With a blast of the guitar solo, the crowd went instantly wild!

Portsmouth, ME.
In keeping with the trend for the Great Escape Artist tour, this was a sold out show to over 2000 people of the State Theater of Portland Maine. Soon after the doors opened, the fans wasted no time to pile in to the State. Within minutes, we were packed in like sardines.

(With Raphael Saadiq under separate review)
Lenny Kravitz kicked off his "Black and White America" tour in Boston last night and it was a knock out show ! It was a privilege to see him in this intimate venue. Lenny told us of his travels in the past several months, played amazing guitar, sang his rockin heart out and showed pure love to this crowd. The band was a powerhouse ensemble performing rock, funk, soul and blues, with even a little jazz, at times. He played favorites like "American Woman", "Fly Away" and "Are You Going My Way", while he blazed the set with tracks from his new album, the magnificent Black and White America. (Released Aug 2011). The light effects and stage production were so vibrant, strobe psychadelic and reflective of the music, that I have one word for this entire show: FIREWORKS.
