Fair In Fist Fights
We were hauling slabs of stone into the van it seemed like the way the pyramids were supposedly built as told by my fifth-grade teacher. However, these ancient materials were in fact made of metal and wood and other such materials. I just write the songs and words and know little to nothing about the rest of the processes. Unfamiliar of the way to properly handle the equipment that doesn’t revolve around an amplifier, pedals, a guitar, and six strings, I tend to handle with care. It’s freezing tonight as we make an eternal effort from the venue to the van to the venue to the van and so on until everything is accounted for except for one little piece you always leave behind as is accidental tradition. “Careful not to slip out there the ice is stealthy!” The venue owner shouts half wanting us to fall while in the throes of an all too cliché and cartoony cigar. Chicago’s many metal bands often treated us as if we were dirt in designer jeans when playing venues like this. The reality of the matter is these tight pants I wear were only thrifted and not picked out by the hands of Zeus to be worn with honor by his mighty hero Hercules. Instead, they were half-stoned chosen by a boy who thought they might give the impression his emotion drenched 4-minute confessions may be worth giving at least half an ear to. “Well?” I hear in a perhaps condescending tone as I’m broken out of a hollowed brooding artist like trance. “Oh, umm I’m sorry I was…Not really listening” I confessed shallow to my bandmate Dave Rice. “I said is that all? I mean I know I got all of my stuff and I think that’s all of yours and Micky says he’s got all of his shit, but I double checked cuz ya know Micky Moments but yeah I think we got everything but it always seems like we forget like at least ONE thing so I just wanted to make sure that you got everything you need, I have mine all accounted for and I think yours is too but I’m tryna make sure.”

Female cover singers
Have you ever listened to female cover singers? They are truly amazing. Whether they are part of a band or solo. They can sing anything. Most of them start out as cover singers. Some just stay cover singers while others branch out and start making their own music. Most of them have to be able to sing anything. In this article I am going to talk about 3 solo females and 4 groups or duos.

Musical Family Tree
It was a typical Saturday afternoon, sitting in my bedroom, playing cards with my sons. While playing a semi-competitive series of games of Blackjack, the boys and I were talking and the conversation of supporting/opening bands came up. I explained to them that a supporting band or an opening band was a band that performed before a headlining band and benefitted from their fan base. I told stories about the concerts and festivals that I’ve attended and the bands I’ve been introduced to as a result.

Don Broco: My first post-lockdown gig
The original date for this gig was the 31st of August, but it got postponed to the 8th of November. Don Broco didn’t have much luck the last time they were due to perform at the O2 in Oxford. The toilets exploded and people were standing in human waste without even realising it. Must have been a bummer for the band. Oh well, shit happens... I liked how they had a sense of humour and thanked the 02 for fixing the toilets. I wasn't there when this infamous incident happened, but if I was there, I would have felt like I was back at work during a D&V outbreak.
