Scott Selfridge
I had the opportunity of getting to know Scott Selfridge over a period of two years as he patiently recorded and re-recorded my band’s last album, so it was with great pleasure that I got to pick his brain one night in his bedroom studio for this piece. Instead of attempting to condense our one-hour conversation into a narrative, I’ll just let him speak for himself. … read more
Jay Henderson
Jay Henderson knows what it means to pay for studio time. An accomplished musician and member of local roots-rock heroes Band of Annuals, Henderson has spent his share of time both inside and outside the recording booth. “I’ve always been a huge fan of music—writing, recording, producing, the works,” he says. … read more
Localized: Irony Man, Poo Pee D and the Family Jewels...
October’s Localized features two bands that take on characters and personas on a regular basis. Irony Man channel the sound and members of early 70s-era Black Sabbath. Poo Pee D and the Family Jewels take the approach of being larger than life, performing as ingloriously odd characters. Kiss Thiss opens Oct. 16 @ The Urban Lounge. … read more

The Australian Pink Floyd Show @ USANA
I don’t claim to love Pink Floyd more than any other guy but if I’ve had a few drinks, Pink Floyd is one of the subjects I can often talk about until those around me are tired of hearing it. … read more
Bob Weir & Ratdog @ The Depot
Yeah, BO is a naturally occurring phenomenon at shows, but when it already smells like post-show body funk during my pre-show drink, we have a problem. There is also something to be said about any show involving a former member of the Grateful Dead that does not allow smoking. … read more

Hepcat: Right on Time
During the 90s, there was no other ska band in the world like Hepcat. While other bands from the era built upon the punk-influenced ska of 1970s England, Hepcat created a potent mixture of 1960s Jamaican ska, jazz, latin music and American soul for a smooth, cool sound all their own. … read more
