With all these electronic bands out now, it’s hard to figure out who’s who with all of these contagious ProTooled melodies going around. NYC transplants Sweet Electra stand out from the symphony of dial tones by having soulful vocals and not sounding like The Postal Service. Nice! Originally from Mexico,…
The Residents: Residents For Presidents
Who are The Residents? No one knows! With their white suits, eyeball heads, and top hats, The Residents are pretty much the Teletubbies gone awfully wrong. Dating back to 1969, the unidentified band members have made some of the most disoriented avant-garde music that to some people still

David Bowie: A Reality Tour
I’ve probably watched the movie Labyrinth around 1,000 times and it’s probably because of David Bowie and his tight spandex pants.

Her voice is extremely powerful and sends shivers down spines, but she’s not playing opera halls on spaceships yet. Celebrating their newest remix album, Shark Remixes, My Brightest…
Harrington Saints: Dead Broke In The USA
Jody Joseph: One Diva, One Legend, One Woman
Transforming herself in her live nostalgic show, Jody Joseph goes from the mystic witch Stevie Nicks to the defiant rocker Janis Joplin. Being no stranger to the music industry, Jody has already opened for Peter Frampton, Lisa Marie Presley, and Joan Jett. After a successful performance at The Paramount Theatre…
The Subjects: School Days
The last thing high school students want to do is hang out with their teachers, but Churchill students Jimmy Carbonetti and Matthew Iwanusa were up all night jamming with their educators forming The Subjects. Sounding like a mix between The Kinks and The Strokes, they have a vintage garage rock…
