Backstage with Deadstring Brothers
Listen up. I got to hang backstage with Nashville-by-way-of-Detroit-based Deadstring Brothers at their show at the 40 Watt, and now you get to listen in and pretend you were there. They’ve been compared to 70’s-era Rolling Stones. They have been called a country band. They’ve been called a blues band. Whatever they are – I’d…
Backstage with The Used
So I just got to chill backstage at Tabernacle in Atlanta with Jeph Howard from The Used. Jealous? Don’t fret. I filmed our little hang out session for you, so you get to listen to us talk about the evolution of The Used, the Take Action Tour, and what’s next for the band. Have at…
Backstage with Diarrhea Planet
Diarrhea Planet came to the Caledonia Lounge in Athens. I got to hang out in the “backstage” van area with them. We’re bros now. Watch us talk about their sound, their goals, the right way to be a rockstar, and magic…among other things. Enjoy. Tweet #vinylmag
Backstage at the 40 Watt with Nate Brenner of Naytronix
Got to hang out backstage with Nate Brenner (you may know him as the bassist for tUnE-yArDs) to talk about his solo project, Naytronix and his first tour on his own. The band is opening for WHY? on this US tour and plans to continue touring. Definitely should not be missed. While you’re buying your…
Backstage interview with Anthony Green of Circa Survive
Pre-Show Treat My friend, Marissa, and I were amongst the growing mass of fans that showed up early to hang outside of the Center Stage venue in downtown Atlanta to see the sold-out Circa Survive show (she and I were probably a little more giddy than the rest, because we were waiting for a one-on-one…
Backstage with Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless
Alright. So I just interviewed Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless backstage at The Masquerade. Not gonna lie…I had no idea what to expect when I went into this interview. However, besides the fact that we had to do the interview backstage during the opening act (where is the soundproof room?!), it all went down…
Drowning in Knoxville with Belle Histoire
Belle Histoire interview with www.vinylmag.org by vinylmag It’s pouring down rain outside, and I’m sitting in the back of a dingy Knoxville bar[1] with J-14 Magazine’s featured “hot band” Belle Histoire. But I’m the only one in the bar who knows this about them. “I didn’t even know about,” Wes Comer, the band’s drummer, insists….
Anthony Raneri of Bayside- backstage at the Where’s the Band? tour
So much awesome in one room. Normally, when I go to a show, there are one or two main bands that I’m there for, and I enjoy the openers as a sort of appetizer, getting me ready to chow down on the main course of some serious, lose-my-cool rockin’. This show was too much…in a…
Backstage with Astronautalis
Just got back from interviewing Astronautalis at The Masquerade in Atlanta. This. Was. Awesome. Before I get to the show, let me talk about the interview. This guy is completely fascinating to talk to (which might explain why the interview ended up going for almost an hour- had to edit the video down and cut…
