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 [...]
And the Winners Are…
For the seventh consecutive year the Lokal Loudness Music Choice Awards were…well, CHOICE. A wall to wall gathering of artistic love, fun and community. Augusta’s own little musical family reunion, if you will. If Augusta music is a five-star entree then the love and respect amongst the music community would be the secret sauce that [...]
Interview w/ Hurt
With a sound that infiltrates modern hard rock stylings with the textures of layered strings and harmonies Los Angeles band Hurt are far from being this year’s drop-d darlings. Singer J. Loren, drummer Evan Johns, bassist Josh Ansley and guitarist Paul Spatola are a driven band willing to take the path less traveled if need be to get their music to the ears of the public. Hot meals and solid ground be damned: Hurt is on a mission…a Mission that brings the band to the Red Lion Pub on February 2nd with Stereoside and Hot Lava Monster.
Interview w/ The Radar Cinema
With band members scattered on opposite ends of the state and a sound that defies simple explanation, progressive rock band The Radar Cinema are hardly your typical area club band. Featuring drummer Eric Parton (ex-Daze of Haze & The Company), bassist Nick Laws (ex-The Sixth Hour & Autorock), guitarist Will Duckworth and vocalist Mikel Hutchings, this quartet’s mix of experience, ingenuity and heavy work ethic make them one of the bands to watch in 2008.
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 [...]
