It’s the end of an era for what we once lovingly termed Boston DIY: Night Rally are no more. After this Saturday, Cambridge’s proggy-Rickenbackerry-rock trio will call it quits so drummer Luke Kirkland (a/k/a lank-rap dude Boo Radley) can return to their native land of Santa Fe to finish up college. Night Rally’s farewell show at Great Scott is also the long-awaited CD release for their first full-length, Preston Family Crest, a 16-track blood-pissing collection produced by Headgear Recording’s Chris Moore (TV on the Radio/Yeah Yeah Yeahs) that’s, well, the best damn thing they’ve ever done.
