Agreed. The only good electronic shows I've seen have been at TT the
Bear's (Worm is Green/Solex, Kid606, Matthew Dear/Dykehouse, etc.).
Like Mark said, Boston/Cambridge is mostly punk/indie/noise, although
Enormous Room does feature some good stuff every now and then.
I do co-host a show on a local radio station (WMBR 88.1FM, MITs radio
station) called sigronica that plays mostly experimental
electronic/IDM/sound art. The website is at:
http://www.sigtronica.org
and we have our show from 7-8PM Monday nights, if anybody is
interested in listening (or sending tracks our way).
thanks,
nick
