Damn weathermen! The actual weather in Troy last Friday wasn’t so bad, a cold rain that eventually turned to light snow before the Silos took the stage at the Hangar. But several days worth of alarmist forecasts hyping potential snowmageddon without actually predicting much of anything meant that just over three dozen hardy souls turned […]
NRBQ was known as “the world’s greatest bar band” in the seventies, and the Replacements staked a claim to that mantle in the eighties, although some nights perhaps favoring the bar over the band. Based on their compelling show at a jam-packed Putnam Place last Saturday, Deer Tick are worthy contenders in the current decade. […]
Why is that none of us ever actually know what the hell it is we want? We think we do, but we don’t. We want excitement and spontaneity, but we also want stability and security. We want to have our shit together, but we also want to let loose and live. We want to learn […]
GB: What’s up? RRX: I just wanted to chat. We’ve got this Grapplin’ Greg documentary coming out and being debuted at The Palace December 17th, so I figured it would be fun just to shoot the s**t a little bit with you beforehand. GB: It should be an interesting night. (Laughs) I looking forward to […]
After checking the band’s itinerary, I assumed the Mini-Mekons booked a gig in Catskill as a shakedown cruise of sorts, a chance to work out any kinks in their set before playing a couple of dates in “The City” on the weekend. In truth, the only evidence of any kinks came midway through the second […]
RRX: Where are you based out of? GS: I live in Yonkers, New York. Just north of New York City. RRX: Oh Yeah New York City’s hat, I’m familiar, it’s like the extra piece of The Bronx. GS: Yeah we’re just north of Riverdale which isn’t very far, just near The Bronx border. RRX: Joe […]

December 16th The Silos, the still-kicking band Walter Salas-Humara co-founded in New York’s post-punk ’80s scene played alt-rock, alt-country, and Americana before any critics coined those terms.

Cohoes Music Hall was the place to be on both Thursday Dec. 8th and Friday Dec. 9th. Who isn’t classic rock fan? And who wouldn’t want to see a couple of back to back Groovin’ performances? Well if you missed it you’ll have to wait until next time but I (Rob Smittix) was honored to […]
When one gets older (not just crankier but it doesn’t hurt), one has tasks put upon them that one would never think would ever happen. For example, as the eldest living member of the family, it’s fairly normal to be in charge of attending to a deceased relative’s final needs. To make sure their wishes […]
