KickBack Boston: #gotthefeels RnB Edition
The KickBack was founded by two individuals raised in Boston with cultivating visionary creative passion. They wanted something in their city that targeted their vibe and the people like them.
“The city lacks that classy meets urban music vibe and the KickBack is its medium.” Quoted by one of the founders.
Their mission is to bring peers together who despise the routine nightclubs with seratos filled with Top-40 reruns and long lines and the overzealous “vip” regulars.
When : 8P — 11P
(Where): Vintage Lounge | 72 Broad Street Boston
They wanted a night in Boston to relax, listen to some “dum dope” — Cousin Stizz type tunes without the hassle or chaos of a club.
