B for Brontosaurus play their last show before a lenghty hiatus. As a

own material, as well as favorite pop songs spanning the 20th Century.
It will be epic and beautiful, and a rare occasion indeed.
so+so is a Somerville-based three piece band. Who plays what? It
depends. Sometimes we are yelling, other times we are singing quietly.
We write our own songs and back each other up. We also play covers and
cover for each other. We got yo back, too! Come see.

Jeremy Ozer plays lead guitar, Bryan Holmes is behind the drums, Luke O'Hanley is on bass and Greg Tallent does the rhythm guitar, keyboard and vocals. While The Situation plays mostly original material, they will occasionally throw in a distinct re-working of any number of blues or rock classics.
