There were broken bulbs, broken glasses. "It was anarchy, it was crazy interaction, and you had to be close to it to feel it," Philin Phlash says. Phlash found himself in the center of Boston’s rock and punk scene—in the pit. Bopping into the clubs around the Fenway-Kenmore area, he collected photos, memories and the random shiner from a frenetic elbow. The black eyes have cleared up, but what remains on film are those sweaty, raw nights when a cultural movement emerged from The Hub. While the metaphysical mark made is indelible, some of the landmarks have been long forgotten—The Catacombs on Boylston, which hosted The Doors and Andy Warhol, is now home to Subway sandwich artists. Through Philin Phlash’s “Fenway Phlashback” we remember the sights and sounds of Boston’s sonic revolution, which happened right around Time Out Market Boston. Time Out Market Boston is proudly exhibiting 60 of Phlash's most epic photos of the ‘80s underground music scene in the Fenway and Kenmore areas. "Fenway Phlashback," a production of Time Out Market Boston and Gallery East, is Philin Phlash's largest show in 10 years, curated by Gallery East director Duane Lucia. The visceral images will be on display through the month of November, and Phlash will return to his hallowed grounds from Nov. 5-7 for a socially distanced reception featuring guest DJs. "I am the public eye," says Phlash. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out Market Boston (@timeoutmarketboston) o
