February 21, 2012 – “Just 10 months till the end … at least till the end of the Mayan calendar anyway,” began guitarist Tom Scholz in a recent message sent to fans. Tour announcements from Scholz’s band, sonic rock gods Boston, tend to be just as cryptic as the Mayan calendar. There had been rumors of new songs, new shows, and yet nothing more than a few new paragraphs on their space-age website had come of it. After months of speculation that turned into years, we still don’t know all of what they are up to, but we do know one thing: You’ll get to hear “More Than a Feeling” live in concert this year – and what else really matters?
“I wonder, did they mean to prophesize the end of the world, or was the December 21st planetary alignment just a convenient place to stop chiseling stone tablets on a really long calendar project? Some people think it is the same thing, so why take a chance? If I was making a bucket list, it would definitely include going out one more time to play some BOSTON shows – before time runs out!” Scholz continues in his letter.
“So just to be safe, we are going to do exactly that. I don’t really think the world is going to end this year, but on the off chance the Mayans were on to something, let me take a moment to thank all of you for helping make the BOSTON experience an awesome ride. One of the best things about BOSTON to me is its fans; they are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and collectively the best crowds anyone could wish to play for. I regret that we can’t play as many shows as we would like, but we will do as much as we can in North America. Check out our tour page for the list of shows that have been confirmed so far, and if you can, come out to enjoy another night of BOSTON’s music before the next great coronal mass ejection.”
