The Patch Notes

The Patch Notes are a jazz combo from Boston, MA, built on a reverence for classic and modern video game themes. Their sets bring an improv tradition to some of the most recognizable (and just occasionally obscure) soundtracks that have graced living room televisions. Think Charlie Parker, Koji Kondo, Duke Ellington, Yasunori Mitsuda and K.K. Slider--The Patch Notes can bring them all.

Truck Crash Lawyers

Truck Crash Lawyers launched out of Loudlands Music Lab’s Heavy Chemistry Program in Allston, where they started as an “older adult student band” and accidentally became a real one. They earned their musical law degrees on amped‑up punk, garage and pop covers and learned two firm rules of practice: Always Make a Strong Case for Loud, and Never Settle Out of Court for Quiet.

Now their docket rips through felony‑level takes on classics, crashing 50s‑to‑2010s rock and pop into punk and post‑punk, along with some highly original songs and whatever else seems fun (or vaguely illegal) that night. They specialize in high‑energy shows, questionable stage banter, outrageous objections, and getting a courtroom of strangers to sing out of order. Every show ends with the same verdict: guilty of inciting a riotous good time.
