‣ The Dead Ships mark the release of their debut “Electric Ahab” with a show at the Echo, supported by the Ross Sea Party, Hello Echo and the Muddy Reds. [See the Dead Ships’ “Bones Cracked.”]
‣ The Jealous Sound (pictured) winds up a nationwide tour at the Satellite to support their comeback effort “A Gentle Reminder,” their first album in eight-plus years. [See our post on TJS.]
