Uncharted Waves went on live today with an lineup of oldies and a bunch of new songs. We spoke about MJ's sudden and untimely death, twitter's role in all of it, and some other cool news. Moment of Zen is available for download, check it out!
I almost forgot how awesome Beery's is on Friday's and Satuday's. If you don't know, Mr Beery's (Bethpage NY) has live music every Friday and Saturday night, bringing a nice mix of metal, hardcore, jazz and soft rock. There's always something for everyone there.
This past weekend I went to check out the scene over there, and it was quite alive. The lineup of bands was Black Dawn, Single Spade, Soma, and Turrigenous. All the sets were great, rock was flowing out the doors all night.
The band that really blew me away was Turrigenous. I've been meaning to catch a show of theirs for a while, and when I saw they were playing at Beery's I knew I had to be there. If you've ever listened to Turrigenous, you know how intense their sound is. They bring that intesity fully to the stage. I've never seen a band more technically awesome than these guys. One word to discribe this metal would be....epic. Check them out, they make New York and LI proud!
So I'll be back again to Beery's really soon, I hope to see you there!
Only a couple days before summer and it's still not hot out! So we are bringing you the fire right here on Uncharted Waves! Hot new music, fun things to do on LI and of course your funky fun lovable hosts! Listen to today's show, and get out to your local venues!
105 Riv was the place to be on Saturday night. It was Anna Yvette & the Ohms' CD release party! It was such a good time, there were a lot of really great people there, all to congratulate and celebrate with Anna.
I felt very VIP walking into this joint. There was a door man letting people through a velvet rope, it was like walking into a place where everyone would know you. And it was a little like that. Everyone there was so nice. People were enjoying the open bar, talking and taking pictures; there was a lot going on in this cozy setting.
Anna, Louis (bass) and Vinny (drums) played a full set for everyone there. It was such an intimate setting, Louis was playing off of the stripper pole above everyone's heads and people sat all around the performance set up. It was a great show, they really know how to have a great time on stage. It's always awesome to see bands really get into their music, it brings out so much more of the emotion they are portraying through the sound as well as the visual.
It was a lot of fun, enjoy the pictures I took and check out their website to hear more about Anna Yvette and the Ohms!
It was a grand show today, with great new music and an awesome guest. Anna Yvette joined us in the studio and we had a ball. Be sure to listen to the interview, and please help our friend in need. Donate to the Andrew Benefit.
I was collaborating with Jordan Stargot of Blind Hero and Nifty Breed, when he brought a band to my attention. It was Dillinger Escape Plan. From watching Youtube videos about them anyone can see that their stage presentation and following is more than awesome.
The other bands were pretty tight, but only Knife the Glitter and Dillinger stood out to me. Knife the Glitter is a three piece instrumental band, that is the weirdest band ever. It is important to have a stage presence, these guys just made it really weird. The bassist would constantly be on his tippy toes running around in a little circle, shaking his head more and more violently as the songs went on, throwing his hair out of it's little bun, getting very messy...all this every song.
His facial expressions were so weird too... check them out. The recorded stuff I think is better than live. I can't really say their music won me over, but I will never forget these guys.
Dillinger. Wow. After taking 30 minutes, if not more, to set up their set, Dillinger came out hard. I've seen youtube videos of the lead singer Greg Puciato walking out on the tops of people's heads within ten seconds of the show starting (Watch Video for this performance). It was great though. You could hear everything, they looked and sounded so professional. People were getting very riled up during their set, at least one fight had to be broken up by the bouncers, which usually means one person thought the other was getting too crazy. Hey folks, it's a hardcore metal show. You get run into and the such.
So I am super happy I got the chance to see such a legendary band such as Dillinger. I wish i had the chance to interview them, maybe one day soon UW will be be presented with such a chance.
You will feel at one with yourself after slipping on this wondrous piece of cotton. This shirt can put anyone into a moment of zen with its birds resting and flying in the peacefulness of their tree. There is really something majestic about it, The Appleseed Cast found a great artist to do this work. It is of the cover art off their album Peregrine, with a little bit of a twist.
NO SHOW TO LISTEN TO FROM THIS WEEK. SORRY FOLKS, DONATE MONEY TO OUR STATION TO UPDATE OUR COMPUTERS AND THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. OR WRITE TO ALBANY TELLING THEM TO FLOW MORE MONEY INTO THE SUNY SYSTEM.
