Brian Kane Trio – Friday Night Block Party – Twisted Fiddler – by Liam Sweeny. It’s 6pm and I’m full of linguini alfredo, home cooked, and because of that I’m full of vim and vigor, and an outright taste for some sweet music and groovy people. That’s where the Twisted Fiddler comes in. Or really […]
Cherubs – Heroin Man – Review by Joshua Reedy. (1994) My copy: 2023 limited reissue on hot pink vinyl by Brutal Panda Records. Heroin Man is probably the greatest (or at least most underrated) example of the 90s alternative zeitgeist – in that their drunken, cantankerous persona reflects an obsession with the extreme; from destructive […]
Saratoga Comic Con – May 4th and 5th – Review – by Ian Losz. It’s been some years since I have attended a comic convention. You see, I used to attend many of the biggest ones … as an artist. I sat shoulder to shoulder with some of the most iconic comic book artists of […]
High Rise II – High Rise – Album Review – by Joshua Reedy. High Rise – High Rise II (1986) My copy: 2018 reissue by Black Editions.

Graz does require patience and appreciation for solo […]
PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – 4.26 – by Liam Sweeny. Tonight, I went out, as I always do on a Friday night, to catch a few shows. And I started out with a real loser. No, just stop. How could you think I would ever call a musician that? The loser was in my shirt pocket. […]
An Appreciation of The Local Saugerties (with a review of the Alexa Tarantino Quartet) – by J Hunter. Normally, when your plate is full, you don’t try and stack even more on to see how high you can get the pile. For instance, I’ve usually got my hands full reviewing one band in one place; […]
PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – Karaoke Killer – by Liam Sweeny. On the way to Albany and I’m watching the clock on the dash because I got familial commitments and I’ll be damned if I don’t also commit to the one place in the city of tulips that I haven’t been to and feel bad about […]
PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – by Liam Sweeny. It’s Friday night. I’m on Messenger with Matty D. Hear he’s going to be landing somewhere on Remsen Street and I haven’t met him yet. Guy’s larger than life. Swear I’ve never seen a grown man pull off mirrored sunglasses and a feather boa without at least shaving […]
