Happy New Year! Fingers crossed this year will be better than last. Funny, we said that last year, how did that work out? Let’s just hope. I start off this column with a question for those who are old farts like me. Not looking for an answer, but maybe it’s crossed your mind as well […]

Welcome to Mondo Rock ‘n Rolla! Let’s talk about rock ‘n roll records. Obscure rock ’n roll records to be precise.  It’s the stuff you’ve probably never heard but should have. For instance, a ragtag band of forgotten losers from the forsaken hills of Arizona called Phil and the Frantics. Phil wore a saxophone around […]

Surf rock is a very fun kind of music. It’s energetic, irreverent, and it’s persisted throughout the decades. Its guitar sounds are iconic, you can hear it mixed with three other musics at the same time and you’ll be able to pick it out. And its transcended beach and board to become a true facet […]

RRX: We’re speaking with Carole Pope.  Thanks so much for your time. CP: Glad to be here. RRX: You were born in England and moved to Canada and subsequently all  around.  When did you start to become interested in music and the arts? CP: I think that started when I was nine. I don’t know. […]

I had the great pleasure of seeing Soul Sky at the Rustic Barn 01/07/2022, it had been a long time since I have seen them play.  Watching them play together I can tell they enjoy what they do and vibe off of each other’s jams.  They incorporate a mix of originals and covers that leave […]

Harmony Rocks is a 5 piece local band that plays an array of 60s to 90s music, genres include rock, country and blues. A talented band fronted by Norm Fraim with […]

I woke up recently and realized that I’ve spent the past 53 years in the music business. Holy Keith Richards Batman!!     I’ve been lucky enough to have worked over the years as a player, manager, event organizer, promoter, and radio host. The only thing I missed is manning the sound board (no easy task), and […]

There’s a magic in music, a mysticism, only less in the way of sorcery, and more in the way that a bonfire is mystical. But at its heart, music is a communication. Whether it’s a call to your mind with moving, or novel chord progressions, or the simple backgrounds overlayed by a smooth voice telling […]

During the pandemic, we were all stuck at home with limited entertainment.  Adults and older generations clung to streaming movies and television.  However, the term streaming is more than movies and shows – it merely means broadcasting live to an audience. So, while you were watching Netflix and Hulu, the younger generations were joining online […]

We don’t cover sports. This is not a declarative statement. We should cover sports in some way, maybe not the box scores, but sports and art are interlinked, and you can’t really say ‘culture’ without a nod to some healthy competition. So, we have to recognizes sports as the product of kinematic art that it […]
