Jake in the desertJul 7, 2023

I lived in New Hampshire for many years and we'd go to Boston for shows a lot- at T.T. the Bears (closed now 😒) and the Midway Cafe.

I saw The Gravel Pit at T.T.'s back in the early 2000s (a band made up of a singer/songwriter GENIUS, Jed Parish, and members of The Figgs).

Not sure how much (if any) The Gravel Pit got around outside of Massachusetts, but their album Silver Gorilla from 1999 is a modern rock MASTERPIECE. Jed's VOICE, LYRICS, and the arrangements-- give it a listen:
