How Apollo Sunshine's "Singing To the Earth" Can Make Your Day

By Jay Sweet on 10:13 AM on November 12, 2008

As most know, I'm a pure Masshole and thus take great pride in our homestate musical bretheren. Heck, my first concert was J. Geils Band at the Worcester Centrum. It does not get much more MA-centric than that does it? While "Whammer Jammer" always puts a smile on my face, it's another Boston band which always pulls me out of a truly sour mood, Apollo Sunshine. Their musical soma first hit me on a particularly decripd day a few years back. The song was "Today is the Day," major chord calamity with just enough Violent Femmes chutzpa to knead out... read more

By Loren Lankford on 12:16 PM on October 22, 2008

The members of the Dead Confederate are definitely anything but deceased.

And, perhaps most importantly, the boys have recently launched an official "blahg." ... read more

Apollo Sunshine, others play Hanukkah gigs

By Jeremy Goldmeier on 2:30 PM on October 16, 2007

Above: The menschen of Apollo Sunshine You don't need a Jew like this writer to tell you that Hanukkah gets thoroughly trampled upon when the holiday season rolls around. But could any competing holiday ever hope to survive the annual Christmas onslaught? From songs to light displays to department store tie-ins to television specials, the Christmas industry has mutated into some horrific juggernaut, from which there is no escape. You will be merry or you will be disposed with. So maybe it's time for Hanukkah to make a small-scale comeback, as a less showy, more laidback indie holiday of sorts.... read more

Apollo Sunshine starts fall tour

By Cristina Martin on 11:14 AM on October 5, 2007

This morning, the Weather Channel reported rainstorms and snowfall sweeping across the nation. With all that dreary wetness, surely some of us could use some brightness, maybe even some (wait for it...) Apollo Sunshine. The band may not be that big star in the sky, but its psychedelic rock might be able to brighten up your day when it comes to a city near you. With their third album pretty much complete, the Boston boys are ready to hit the road and start spreading some good vibes with their new material. Dr. Dog will also be accompanying Apollo Sunshine on... read more
