Interviews
Interview w/ Will McCranie
Just a few of months ago, prior to his moving to New York City, we sat down and had a conversation with Will McCranie, now he’s coming back for a show at Sky City with his buddy Jacob Beltz and a few other friends. So in celebration of “Willie Mac” coming back we spoke [...]
Interview w/ The Burgundy Curtain
Described by one local online music publication as “shoegazers”, Aiken Indie/Ambient/Electronica band The Burgundy Curtain possess a sound that is a gorgeous mix of melody, enchantment and ethereal sounds that at times would seem to contradict the mere present of only the band’s two primary members singer-songwriter/multi instrumentalist Nick Del Rossi and drummer/beat creator [...]
Interview w/ Chairleg
For years rock and roll and horror have gone together like a sort of sick theater of the macabre. Lights, blood, antics, the whole horrific nine yards. Arthur Brown hung himself from a cross in the late sixties, Alice Cooper was beheaded for the first time in the early seventies, Blackie Lawless of [...]
Interview w/ Eric Fletcher of Fletch&Folk
Since the Millennium the Augusta area has been a mini-magnet for husband and wife bands. Bands like The Livingroom Legends, featuring Ken and Mindy Stephens, Lives of Reily, with Gavin and Brooke Reily, and Joe Graves and the Dirty Left Hand, anchored by the rhythm section of Brian Allen and his wife Tracy Steele. [...]
Interview w/ Jason Jones of The Drownout
As part of several Augusta bands in the late 90’s including the short-lived Rolerboy, guitarist/vocalist Jason Jones sewed his pop oats before heading off to Hot-Lanta in 2000 and forming Southeast touring band Arlington. Now fronting recording/touring band The Drownout, Jones, along with pianist Heather Johnston, drummer Matt Lynch, synth player Matt Baum, and [...]
Interview w/ Joseph Christie
With a combined love for leading others in worship (not to mention the caffeinated goodness of Starbucks), the Joseph Christie Band is the culmination of many paths arriving at the same point. Spearheaded by namesake Joseph Christie and rounded out by Joseph’s bother Jared on keyboards, Chris Reid on lead guitar, Keith Axelson on [...]
Interview w/ Dirty Sons of Ireland
It’s no big surprise that St. Patty’s Day is one of the biggest party celebration days of the year even on par, if not more widespread, with Mardi gras. Who over the years have been able to define the word party like the Irish combining tradition, sing-a-longs and a never-ending supply of spirit? Why do [...]
Interview w/ Brian Allen of Confederation of Noisemakers
If you’ve never met Brian Allen, creator of the Confederation of Noisemakers web site, then chances are you’ve at least heard him pound the skins in one of the many Augusta bands he’s been involved with over the years. Neato Torpedo, Mary Jane Jones, Ghost Script, Turtleneck, Hellblinki Sextet, and most recently Joe Graves & [...]
Interview w/ Cam of the Velcro Pygmies
First off, if you’ve never seen the Velcro Pygmies live, you don’t know what you’re missing. Imagine the ultimate rock and roll party complete with games and party favors and you may come close. We’re talking New Year’s and the Fourth of July all wrapped up in a dirty rock and roll sandwich. [...]
Interview w/ Shotgun Opera
Shotgun Opera is a relatively new band that defies easy description. With songs titles like “Suffering” and “Razorblade” it would be easy to imagine a gang of tortured souls but in all reality Shotgun Opera is made up of six fun-loving guys who look to each other as much as family as a band. Although [...]
