Natty Frenchy (The Skatalites ) The Skatalites have been one of the most influential ska groups of all time. The group was formed in 1964 and began as a ska group but also embraced subgenres such as Rocksteady, Reggae, 2tone, Third Wave, Ska-Jazz, Ska-Punk, Ragga, and Dub. The Skatalites have been called Jamaica’s Greatest Band […]
We reached out to Pete Mason of NYS Music and had a productive chat. RRX: Let’s talk about NYS Music, which is where I know you from. I’ll share with you that, where I live, without giving out the deets, there are NYS Music stickers in places where no sticker ought to be. And I […]
I reached out to Joe Adee from Joe Adee and the Lug Nuts. This is what he had to say. (Law and Order sound.) RRX: The band plays everything from Americana to hard edge blues. Was that clear from the band’s inception? Was there an overall vision for the band, or was it a matter […]
Kelly Wescott is a passionate sculptor whose vigil to local gun violence found its way to the art gallery of UAlbany. When not bringing tears t her audience, she is a body piercer at Dark Tower Tattoo in Troy.
Tom and Tim Conwell (UFOs and Paranormal Studies) RRX: Thanks for meeting with me. You are father (Tom) and son (Tim) and you both have remarkable experiences in the realms of both the paranormal and UFOs, which I’ve been very interested in for a long time. Tim, what’s your area of expertise? Tim: I am […]
Frankie Cavone. It’s funny how you get into the creative arts. In Frankie Cavone’s case, it was very physical, on four wheels, with grinding and ollies. This would, in a series of fortunate incidents, put him on the path to video production and entertainment news outlet Mirth Films. You may know his work; in fact, […]
Necessity is the mother of invention. And stubbornness is the father, though he denies it and refuses to take a paternity tell. Well, his loss is our gain, and nowhere is nessity, and stubbornness more embodied in our region that Dallas Trombley. In his push for an achievement to cap off his college senior year, […]
Duane Beer interview. RRX: We interviewed Blasé Debris in… actually, it was one of our first interviews, in 2018, maybe, early 2019. Blasé Debris was kickin’ then, and the foot is not sore yet. How have the half-decade between then and now treated the band, and let’s skip over a certain would-famous ‘ick’ period, shall […]
Mike Trash interview. Some sounds are iconic. I don’t use that word lightly, because the word is played out, and there aren’t enough words that give you the same feel. Iconic. Like hair metal. Like Motley Crue, WASP, Poison. The clothes, the over-the-top performances, and most importantly, the whole-hearted embrace of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll. […]
Steve Candlen interview. The first time I met Steve Candlen, I was a relative newbie on the scene. I had just started drumming for 1313 Mockingbird Lane and was writing for The Source. I was on assignment writing a story on Jimmy Velvet, Steve’s band at the time. In between sets, Steve learned that I […]
