Fri. Aug. 6

 Well, this is an obvious - and very sharp - booking from our pal Shred. On Aug. 14, you've got Aerosmith and the J.Geils Band at Fenway Park for the Boston blowout of the summer, if you like your rock and roll in ballparks at least, with most of you watching the action on the huge video screens. Across the street, the week before, on Friday Aug. 6  at Oliver's you've got Aerochix - an all-girl Aerosmith tribute band - and Blow Your Face Out, a Geils tribute band fronted by ex-Tree and still Superpower singer/gutiarist Dave Tree.
There's alwasy a little bit of a kick when gals do the tribute thing to a certifiably male act - remember Lez Zeppelin? - and we expect Aerosmith to walk the Aero walk in a sexy, fun manner. Aerochix was born in April of 2009 when longtime friends and musical collaborators drummer Joni Scimone and guitarist Lisa Addario decided they wanted to do something more than just play cover gigs. Being from Boston, musicians, and longtime fans of the band, it seemed a natural choice to set forth and form a kick ass all-female tribute to Aerosmith. After coming up with the concept, they began the search for the additional members that would put forth the effort to capture this iconic bands sound. Joni and Lisa invited well-known bassist, Justine Klein and soon after, vocalist Rachel Clayton took on the part of Tyler. Since then, things have come together quite nicely. The final addition of guitarist Sara Leketa came in May of 2010, and together they are performing at special appearances everywhere, and surprising audiences with their authentic sound.

Blow Your Face Out is not a full-time gig for Tree, who plays left-wing metal and is a visual artist, too. But he's a Geils fan and puts BYFO to do a few shows a year. Andy why not now? The time is so right. As a bonus, though having nothing to do the parochial madness going down in Kemore Square, you have the opening act Creeping Death, a Metallic tribute act opening and a new one White Room (yep Cream/Clapton tribute). Show starts at 9. Tix: $10.
