On New Years Eve, I skipped out on my usual crazy plans of PJ’s and non-alcoholic wine to head out to Ralph’s Music Guild and take part in celebrating the new Music from the 412 Roku channel launch. There have been long standing issues with the music scene in Pittsburgh that people have wracked their brains over; namely how to pull down the walls between genres and properly promote the scene on a large scale....
And we’re back with another exciting episode of Bands and Artists we Like and Support that Aren’t as Good as GHU! IT’S THE FIRST ONE OF 2023!! 🎉🥂 Here with us today, we have our dear friends, the absolute powerhouse that is Anxiety at Best! If you know anything about this group, you know they GET OUT THERE and they PUT THE WORK IN. It all pays off too, because their whole show experience is...
And we’re back with another fun-tastic episode of Bands and Artists we Like and Support that Aren’t as Good as GHU! Here with us today are one of our favorite groups in this city, Johnny and the Razorblades! (Sans Johnny, but he’s there in spirit) Their absolutely killer new album, Line Up, dropped Friday, and we are basically talking about how much we love it (you will, too). We also got to talk about their...
My friends have been telling me about Whisper Nest for a while now. It’s a cool little bar and venue in the heart of Millvale that’s known for having the coolest clientele in the music scene. Naturally, I had never been (LOL). Happily, I finally had an opportunity last Thursday (11/17) to check the place out. Not only were two of my favorite bands, Some Faith and Faux Fear, PLUS a third band I’d wanted...
To those who were shocked to see me in the outside ring of a mosh pit, I do admit that my look is more ‘unassuming mom’ but those who know me well, know that I grew up in mosh pits and my favorite memories of shows usually involve insane moments of possible injury; so when my friend and coworker told me his show was probably going to be too brutal to get good photos safely…...
And we’re back with another incredible episode of Bands and Artists we Like and Support that Aren’t as Good as GHU! Here with us today we have brilliant author and artist, Ryan O’Laughlin! He’s the author of the Psychic Karate series. You need Psychic Karate. Don’t ask too many questions about what that means… just understand that you need it. He’s a phenomenal talent and a huge supporter of the scene. His band portraits, which...
Some Die Nameless, a well-respected, loved, and even adored promoter team in Pittsburgh presented a 7th round of their “Half-Covered Halloween” show tradition. This year was a little different than in years past, though. They have split the event into two, each having a specific theme. On October 22nd, round one went down at Ormsby Ave Cafe and Outdoor Stage. The theme was Ozzfest, and the participating bands did not disappoint in bringing this to life....
I’d have a really hard time explaining the band Hemlock for Socrates to someone who’s never heard them. What is their music like? Their sound is like cool soil running through your fingers. It’s the zap on the tip of your tongue gently touched against a battery. It’s braving the bitter wilderness with a bow in hand, that shoots laser beams. It is so beautiful. And I think it’s worth mentioning that Heather and Kegan,...
On Saturday August 20th, I had the pleasure to return back to the Sub Alpine in Turtle Creek to check out Living Dead Girl. It was an octane filled evening with much anticipation for what was to come. Opening up the evening was Skarlett Sky, and they nearly set the stage on fire with their intense performance. I was told to keep an eye on them, and it was for good reason, because they definitely...
