Hey everybody! June is going to be heating up in more ways than one, with some incredibly talented bands that will be in the New England area to officially lift us from the winter doldrums. It’s amazing to soak in the creative energy that these groups provide and we’re here to get as many ears (and eyes) on them as humanly possible. June 1 The Wynotts (New World Tavern, Plymouth, MA) 6 The Swansea Sound (Alchemy, Providence, RI) 7 The Swansea Sound (O’Briens, Boston, MA) The Wicked Lo-Down (Fallout Shelter, Norwood, MA) 8 The Chelsea Curve (Midway Cafe, Jamaica Plain, MA) Anderson Council, False Positives, Museum Direktors (Square Root, Roslindale, MA) 14 The Nervous Eaters (Fallout Shelter, Norwood, MA) Barry Goudreau (Music Room, Yarmouth, MA) Jennifer Tefft & The Strange (Fireseed Art Studios, Framingham, MA) 15 The Dogmatics, Girl With A Hawk, Cindy Lawson (Square Root, Roslindale, MA) As always, reach out to your local and favorite bands either by their website, social media accounts or going see them live. Stop by the merch table, say hello and give that band your support. This is my cause, think about making it yours as well! Had the chance recently to interview The Swansea Sound (https://swanseasound.bandcamp.com/album/swansea-sound) and Nicole Laurenne of The Darts ( https://thedartsus.bandcamp.com/album/boomerang ). Incredible catalog and both have very impressive professional careers. Check them out here ( https://www.kashetaproductions.com/blog ) . Big thanks to all those bands, artists, labels and publicists that have submitted their songs to our two syndicated radio shows: Rock Never Rusts and The Boston Tackle Box. I promo all the plays on the socials and strive to be both professional, positive and proactive in assisting them to garner much deserved airplay and promotion. There are a ton of radio stations out there, both FM and internet, and most would and should be interested in what you have to say. Electronic press kits (EPKs) are a great way to communicate to them in a clear, concise and professional way. Always feel free to reach out to us here to get our assistance if it’s something that can efficiently promote your tunes or brand. Thanks again to everyone for all your support of these bands and their songs. Special shout out to all the great radio stations that give their support too, including Eardrum Buzz Radio, Alt Philly Rocks, WOMR, Sole of Indie Radio, WSCR, Alt Radio Rocks, Radio Candy Radio, North of Boston Radio, Pop Radio UK and KOR Radio! Have a great day, stay healthy and hydrate! dk

Spring has officially sprung here in the Northeast U.S., and the only thing that’s growing faster than the weeds in my yard is the slate of gigs popping up in all our favorite clubs! Not much compares to seeing these bands giving it their all on stage and we fans are eternally grateful. I always throw out reminders to support your local bands in whatever way possible. Reaching out on the socials seems to be the easiest way as a word of encouragement has quite an impact. A lot of bands have great websites where you can sit and soak in their creativity and snag the latest or greatest recorded offerings or maybe pull the trigger on that t-shirt purchase. Thanks for your support of “Rock Never Rusts” and “The Boston Tackle Box” radio shows. Your feedback directs me down the best path to support our music scene. There’s a ton of great radio stations and shows that I love. Explore, explore, explore! Not unlike the weeds in my yard, our website, Kasheta Productions, has yet to be fine-tuned to my liking as the platform to discover and support this great music. I’m excited to work closely with a team dedicated to sharpening the approach and vision for the site and will continue to strive to make it the best I can. Details to follow! I want to personally thank the following stations that have taken a chance on me and my goal to try and get as many ears on this great music as possible. Eardrum Buzz Radio and the indefatigable Bret Miller were the first to take a chance on me and that station and its radio presenters opened my eyes to many types of great music not previously familiar. Explore, explore, explore! Thanks and gratitude to Pop Radio UK, KOR, Sole of Indie Radio, WOMR, Alt Radio Rocks, Radio Candy Radio, WSCR, and North of Boston Radio for their platforms that allow us to be one conduit between you and your music. I’m psyched to say there are more stations in the pipeline to increase the surface area of listenership and strengthen the bond that unites us in our love of music. Until then, support your local bands!
