As a parent of two young boys, I’m always on the prowl for new shows to get them hooked on. There’s only so much Paw Patrol I can stomach. Ya feel me? Anyway, enter Amazon Original Kids’ new animated series Danger & Eggs, which hits on both levels: funny for kids and adults. The series, […]
Read moreMy dad’s a Broadway junkie. He’s practically been going to shows his whole life. Often times, he’ll namedrop a show he’s seen, question how many shows he’s seen (”I have all the Playbills”), and tell me on the eve of the Tony Awards that this is his “Oscars.” Just for some context – I’m a […]
Read moreThe Westchester County, NY music scene is a weird one. There are many bands doing their things, and several killer venues – such as The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester – but for the most part, audiences seem to only come out for established big name acts and cover bands. Let’s debunk that shall we? […]
Read moreSometimes in life, you just have to let your hair down and/or go for it no matter what. That sentiment is shared in countless songs from Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” (there’s no Mekhi Phifer by the way) to Icona Pop’s “I Don’t Care (I Love It).” Part of me wants to mention more songs but I’m […]
Read moreStefon Alexander, aka, P.O.S., returned last month with his first full-length album in years (following a kidney transparent) entitled Chill, dummy. The album, which featured the track “Born A Snake” which Marvel used for their Black Panther web series (see above), is currently on the round supporting the new work. Speaking of that new piece […]
Read moreDark Helmet took it to ludicrous speed, and so have The Wrecks. Google that reference if you don’t get it by the way. What I’m saying is the Los Angeles band have been on the fast track from the second they formed some 15-months ago. Let’s prove that point below, and then have the band […]
Read moreVideo by shootmepeter.com Wyclef Jean is a kid in a candy shop right now. As he arrives at the Gibson Showroom in New York City for his A-Sides session he’s told he can choose any guitar he wants to play. Shortly thereafter, he leaves the studio and disappears for a good 30 minutes. His publicist […]
Read moreMaybe it’s because it’s Oscar season, but I can’t help but to picture the great Hell or High Water when I listen to some tunes from the Hartford band Wise Old Moon. So many of their indie roots/folk rock tracks fit right in with that story’s narrative. Or maybe not. Maybe it’s because the band’s […]
Read moreLast last year, A-Sides welcomed back Colony House, the Nashville quartet of Park Cotrell, Scott Mills, and Caleb and Will Chapman, and had them sit down for an interview and perform their hit alt-rock single “You & I” off their then-forthcoming Only the Lonely record. Since then, the band has blown up like Violet Beauregarde. […]
Read moreI do this every year. I don’t know if anyone reads it. Frankly, it’s hard to know who reads my stuff lately. It gets lost in the abyss of a Trump presidency. Anyway, with the nominations just announced for the 89th Academy Awards, naturally I’m left bummed out with the omissions. That said, this year […]
