Summer Interview with Ghostland Observatory

September 1, 2012 at 1:55 pm / Interviews, National Shows, Show Reviews

Their crowd mimic costumes of Aaron Behrens’ once long braids and Thomas Turner’s Texas flag cape. The two band members have sold out shows across the Country and bring [...]

311 & Slightly Stoopid at Whitewater & RyMo Interview

With more than a decade of making music together, the members of Slightly Stoopid have perfected one of the rarest and most valuable skills a band can develop: the art of the stealth groove, that knack for quietly, almost innocently, sliding into a composition, and utterly lassoing anyone within earshot by mid-song. That’s where the band has come to reside, musically: deep in the pocket, that ever-elusive, funky trench where a band can entrance an audience, hypnotize it and hold [...]

Clown & His New Book… APOCALYPTIC NIGHTMARE JOURNEY

May 16, 2012 at 8:43 am / Articles, Austin Music Festivals, Featured Stories, Interviews, SXSW, SXSW 2012

When I received news of a set interview with Shawn Crahan from Slipknot, my jaw dropped. When their self-titled debut album dropped in 1999, the songs “Wait and Bleed”, “(Sic),” “Surfacing,” and “Spit It Out” did not stop playing in my home. Seeing Slipknot live is an incredible experience. These guys have so much energy when they go on stage. They killed it when I had the privilege of checking them out during their “Tattoo The Earth Tour 2000” in [...]
