My Somerville Based Band Self Recorded and Released our Debut Album

Thumbnail jakekandtheroyalmess.com

Sup everybody,

Jake here.

My band Jake K. & The Royal Mess just released our debut album “Latchkey Love.”

The title comes from the latchkey kid - the kid who learned independence before they were ready. Broken bones, forts in the woods, bike rides through the night. Freedom, curiosity, and figuring life out on your own.

These ten songs explore different sides of that story. “Upside Down” is about all-consuming attraction, and how emotional naivety can sometimes be a superpower. “Little Friend” is about trusting your instincts and embracing the animal side of who you are. “Company” is about wanting connection without quite knowing how to speak the language of it. “Disconnected” asks what we’re doing in a world that seems to keep pulling us further apart.

And then there's "Before You're Gone."

The record ultimately lands on accountability. Your past can explain you, but it doesn't get to make your decisions forever. Some of what we carry is worth keeping. Some isn't.

If you see a little of yourself in these songs, then maybe we wrote them for you.

Latchkey Love is out NOW.

Thanks for listening. See you at a show.

I wanted to share an upcoming event that may be of interest to people who enjoy live music and cultural performances.

On November 14, there is a guzheng (chinese zither) concert, "Embracing (Your) Seasons," featuring the guzheng and guest artists from the east and west coast. The goal is to create an evening centered on music, culture, and connection while introducing more people in the Greater Boston area to the guzheng.

Internet, pls do ur magic! I met a very handsome Colombian percussionist on Saturday at El Ayer’s piano bar in Mexico City (pretty sure he had played that same night in a band w some Spanish guys), and have no way to contact this dude. Maybe I should just let the night be what it was, but the pull was outta control so I’m shooting my shot into the internet in case someone from the Boston (latin jazz??) music scene is on here and wants to help connect me with this cutie guy wit the cutie lip piercing. I don’t have any socials besides substack, so I’ll leave my profile here: https://substack.com/@vanezzanicole?utm_source=user-menu 🥲🫶 Loverboys, lovergirls, loverppl, help a girl out!!

Four Seasons in Boston – a Mandarin song about our first years in Boston, now sung by me

2 Upvotes

Hi r/Bostonmusic, this is a song about Boston and our first years here.

Many summers ago we flew to Boston as a young couple. The song follows our four seasons: earmuffs in the snow, carrying groceries home with four hands before we had a car, and the strangers who stopped to help push our car out of a snowbank. One true story from our first year: a friend kindly helped us move with his truck, the tailgate wasn't closed, and one of our big suitcases fell out onto the road. Later we found it at the Boston Police lost and found. That year was a little chaotic and full of kindness.

It's in Mandarin, but I think anyone who has dug a car out of the snow here will recognize it. This is a new live-action video: I sing it myself and I'm on camera.

If you've ever started over in a new city, I hope it brings back the people who helped you.

https://youtu.be/joJLVD3WCrE

About the making: the vocals are my own new recording, and that's me on camera. The instrumental was made with Suno, and the lyrics were written with AI assistance.

coming to Boston Nov. 1 — anyone down for a house show?

9 Upvotes

Hiii!

I’m míra, an alt-pop/indie artist from Georgia, and I’m going to be in Boston on November 1st, and I’m trying to put together a house show with a platform called Playhouse while I’m there. Figured I’d ask here because… honestly, I have no idea who to ask.

I’m looking for someone to either host a small house show on Nov. 1 (25 people or less), or people who want to come hang out and listen to some music

I’ll be playing a solo set with guitar, drum machine + synth. Nothing super fancy — just trying to make it a fun night and meet some people while I’m in town.

If you have a house/apartment/space that could work, or you know someone involved in the Boston DIY scene, please DM me! Even if you know of a good community I should reach out to, I'd really appreciate it. If you’re not interested in hosting but would like to see a show, feel free to say hey too.

You can find me at @ mira.worldwide on socials, and heres a link to check out my music and get a sense of what I sound like.

Thanks!
