Noiseland: The Music of Boston

Boston is rich with music history. From the prominent bands that got their start here, the local acts, well-loved venues, and enthusiastic fans, it is clear that the people of Boston are dedicated to supporting their community. Kenmore Square, where Panopticon Gallery is located today, was once home to some of Boston’s most loved venues. Panopticon stands at the former site of The Rathskeller, a music venue celebrated as the catalyst of Boston rock and roll. Although the landscape of the neighborhood has since changed, concertgoers can attend shows at a selection of established locations, as well the new venues that have opened their doors over the last few years.

Noiseland: The Music of Boston features the work of several Boston-based music photographers, photographs of iconic musicians, and images of the crowds that cheered them on. Noiseland: The Music of Boston pays homage to the ever-changing Boston music scene; offering a glimpse into the cultural impact of city’s musical past while also looking forward to what is to come.
