Maryland Death Fest featuring, well, almost every extreme metal band ever.
See flyer, buy ticket, go to Maryland in May. Another stellar example of bookers going bonkers for bands. This is going to be very, very LOUD!
Interview with Todd Stoops from RAQ; Playing AURA in Florida!!! @blpfam @kungfutunes #aura
Raq is Baq, and I couldn’t be happier!!! A staple in my college musical diet, the band would play Syracuse University and surrounding areas consistently, bringing their super technical, energetic delivery to small bar stages on a near monthly basis. It was great! As the band progressed in the music scene, I was certain that I’d get to be one of those obnoxious fan/band owners who claimed ‘There First’ rights, but just as the group seemed to really take off, they went on hiatus. I didn’t get it, and it bummed me out.
LIVING COLOUR’S “VIVID” turns 25; Re-issue and Album Tour in the works.
Living Colour’s seminal first album, Vivid, is turning 25. I’m not one to say I feel old, but damn… I was 9 when I first started listening to this thing. A masterpiece!
To celebrate the milestone, the group will be offering a re-issue of the album, as well as a Full Album Tour to go along with it. THERE!!! Unfortunately, it’ll be an expensive plane ticket to catch any of the currently mentioned dates, but if any of you out there want a sure-fire booking win at the door, you may want to jump on this now. We need some stateside dates for this immediately, AND WE’VE GOT ‘EM!

Interview with Tim Palmieri from KUNG FU; Playing Ct. this weekend, Co. in Jan., and AURA Music Fest! @kungfu @breakscience @blpfam
New Haven, Connecticut’s Kung Fu is bent on one thing: Sonically roundhouse kicking the bejesus out of fusion fans the world over! Though a fairly young band, Kung Fu boasts some of the most respected players to come from the jam/rock/jazz scene in our generation, including members of The Breakfast and RAQ.
