Miles Howard

  • Rolling along

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard
    Great movies don’t necessarily make great musicals. Exhibit A: Spider-Man, which earned cheers on the big screen but jeers as Broadway’s actor-fracturing Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Since the quali…

  • Toys R Us

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard
    We’re pretty sure our parents can still remember our first toy piano — and the headache-inducing compositions it yielded. Admittedly, we might have relied a bit too heavily on the barnyard-animal soun…

  • May 8, 2012 | Throwback Tuesdays at Forum

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    We mostly remember the 1980s as a golden age of synthesizer solos, but the era also popularized competitive dramas like The Karate Kid, Flashdance, and the USSR-bound Rocky IV. So we weren’t shocked w…

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    Though our social calendars are generally full, we’ll always open up space to support a new nonprofit. So pencil us in for tonight’s launch party for Open HeARTS, Inc. Helmed by Bryan Finocchio, found…

  • May 10, 2012 | Rusko at House of Blues

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    Some of us have trouble appreciating the whole dubstep phenomenon. (Sorry, but we grew up thinking the sound of a CD skipping was a bad noise.) Yet Rusko may convert even the most resistant holdouts. …

  • May 11, 2012 | Neon Indian at Paradise Rock Club

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    We love musicians who bleed for their craft, but the members of Neon Indian take the idea literally: they’re one of a handful of acts who agreed to have drops of their DNA incorporated into special ed…

  • May 12, 2012 | Saved by the '90s at the Middle East Upstairs

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    We would’ve killed to be a Bayside Tiger. One swift right hook to Kelly Kapowski’s feathered-banged face, and we’d have had Zack Morris (and that swoon-worthy wink of his) all to ourselves. Sadly, eve…

  • May 13, 2012 | Fancy Free at the Boston Opera House

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    Sailors on shore leave vying for a girl’s attention via a dance-off? This is not the kind of Seaport bar fight we’re used to. But the premise certainly makes for arresting visuals in Fancy Free, the h…

  • May 14, 2012 | Beth Orton at Brighton Music Hall

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    Everyone knows that acoustic guitars and analog synthesizers hail from separate sonic turf. But that hasn’t stopped Beth Orton from musically marrying the two on entrancing numbers like “Touch Me with…

  • May 15, 2012 | HYPE! Mime Troupe at Oberon

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    If “attending a mime show” ranks alongside “alphabetizing the spice rack” on your list of favorite evening activities, listen up. Tonight’s act at OBERON (2 Arrow Street, Cambridge, 617.496.8004) is t…

  • May 16, 2012 | Chickenfoot at Orpheum Theatre

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    Comeback tours rarely live up to their hype. (We know. We once hoofed it to Long Island to see middle-aged Spice Women squeezed into sequined Spanx.) But Chickenfoot bucks the trend, maybe because its…

  • May 17, 2012 | Cupcake the Musical at Club Cafe

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    In the musical Cupcake, a summer resort town’s beloved baker is targeted by a cranky cop who’s cracking down on unpermitted street vendors. So the citizens of Summertown, including a hunky lifeguard a…

  • May 18, 2012 | One Hell of a Boat

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    Idioms aside, we danced with the devil once. Well, the nightclub was dark — but such hellish tonsil hockey could only come from a forked tongue. Still, we won’t be dissuaded from the badass booze crui…

  • May 19, 2012 | Anjelah Johnson at Wilbur Theatre

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    You may remember her as Bon Qui Qui, that sassy King Burger employee who dismisses her fast-food customers with a trademark “Excuse me… rude!” Or maybe you’re more familiar with Tammy, the patron sain…

  • May 20, 2012 | Mary Poppers at Machine

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    Local fringe-theater all-stars Ryan Landry and the Gold Dust Orphans have made quite a name for themselves over the years with glittery, gut-splitting parodies like A T Stop Named Denial and Phantom o…

  • May 21, 2012 | Cupcake Camp at the Center for the Arts at the Armory

    03 May, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard and Meghan Kavanaugh
    With beach season nearly upon us, it seems like everyone is immersed in workouts of the “boot camp” style. But if we wanted someone to scream at us about being out of shape, we’d just drink a bottle o…

  • Julep Bar

    22 April, 2012 | Feed | Miles Howard
    Time has a way of refining things. Back when he was dropping his drawers (and, um, mad rhymes, yo) all over Dorchester, who could have guessed that the words “Mark Wahlberg” and “Academy Award nominee…

  • Graphic content

    22 April, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard
    Many of us remember our lives in pictures. (Though we sometimes wish we could delete a few slideshows, like those from the era when cropped cargo pants seemed acceptable.) So does Marjane Satrapi. Ove…

  • April 25, 2012 | The Drums at the Paradise Rock Club

    22 April, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard
    Back in 2010, the most ominous thing about reverb-washed Brooklyn rockers The Drums was front man Jonathan Pierce’s eerie resemblance to Karate Kid villain Johnny Lawrence. (Uh-oh. Should we start pra…

  • April 24, 2012 | Fela! at the Cutler Majestic Theatre

    22 April, 2012 | Get | Miles Howard
    Most of the time, a title bearing an exclamation point seems to be trying a wee bit too hard. (Does Jeopardy! really set anyone’s heart racing?) But we’re actually pretty pumped for FELA!, a Tony-winn…
