I was supposed to give you a first-hand look at Roadrunner, but COVID made me miss Friday night’s Khruangbin show. Luckily, plenty of folks I know were out and about at the new venue over the course of its opening nights, so we can all live vicariously through them.

• Roadrunner

  Straight from the venue’s mouth.

  Boston: we built a venue with you in mind. We cannot wait to open the doors to Roadrunner tomorrow night - here's your first peek inside. See you soon! 📷: @ben_stas, 🎨: Felipe Ortiz pic.twitter.com/FaVrSlTPEB

• Opening Night

  Boston music scene stalwart and Bradley’s Almanac proprietor Brad Squirrels was one of the first to see the new space before any acts even took the stage.

• Khruangbin

  I love this band and was gutted that I wasn’t able to see them in this killer new room. Lucky for me–and you–Boston photog Ben Stas was in attendance.
