Interview with Mike Gantzer from AQUEOUS; Playing Nietzsche’s in Buffalo TONIGHT! @aqueous
Buffalo, NY groove-rock quartet Aqueous is a lot of fun, both in the way they compose their tunes and how they deliver them in concert. I know some of you will read this, see the word “Jam,” and immediately peg the group as a bunch of Deadhead wannabes, but that couldn’t be further from the truth… Praise Jeebus.
Interview with Dennis Stadelman from COPE; New album coming in 2013! @blpfam
Tampa Bay 4-piece COPE is heading out on a bunch of weekend warrior tour dates coming up, and that means warm weather vibes, groovy tunes, and smiling audiences all around. Their songs often incorporate a wide variety of diverse styles and embellishments, but it all ends in a scintillating batch of well structured tunes that’ll get you happily bouncing along to the melody and rhythm offered by the players.
Interview with Christafari from Fear Nuttin Band (@fearnuttinband)
On a mission to “Unify The Music, Unify The People” and hailing from Springfield, Massachusetts, Fear Nuttin Band are turning heads and making plenty of noise in the Reggae-Rock circuit these days. Featuring a diverse cast of musicians from all over the world, the sextet’s multiple genre approach to recorded music and live performance makes for a great time in concert.
Whether sharing stages with musical legends like Steel Pulse or Toots and the Maytals, or packing clubs with newer bands like Tribal Seeds and Rebelution, Fear Nuttin Band aims to bring their hybridization of Rock, Hip Hop, and Reggae to audiences everywhere. Groups like Fear Nuttin Band are doing wonderful things to revitalize the Jamaican musical presence, and their distinct ability to blend and fuse musical stylings is something to behold.
Suburban Legends Interview with Brian and Vince
Everybody get ready to move around… A lot! Hailing from Huntington Beach, California, Suburban Legends play some of the poppiest Ska-Rock stuff around. Also incredibly hardworking, the group may very well hold the record for most shows played in a single year. Need a number? Almost 1000 in 2002! In a double dose of 3rd Wave Ska reporting today, The Summer of Ska 2012 tour prominently features the band at Syracuse’s Own Lost Horizon.
