Beatin’ the Odds interview. I love southern rock. It’s a family thing, growing up getting rocked in my stroller while my dad drank beer and listened to the Allman Brothers coming out of a bar jukebox. C’mon, it was the seventies. Anyhoo, something about southern rock hits me in the heart and makes me want […]
Fuzz Kebabjian interview. When you cover the music scene in the Capital Region, you are the music scene; you become a part of it. You are the megaphone. Your lyrics are the words of every rock hopeful and metal veteran that they couldn’t squeeze into their songs. You bring a dimension to the sick shredding […]
Ralph Renna interview. True friendship isn’t a paved road. I think it’s a road that you pave with shared experiences, and the curves and dips and bumps are hard wrought, but give it its character.

This week on No MSG TV, the gang is juiced over Jessi’s show at the Fuze Box with her band “There’s No Such Thing as Ghosts.” Rob recounts his demonic side piece, Art gives the class a discussion of celebrity plastic surgery, and Liam confides in the group about his dirty IP.
Acoustics. “Did you hear that band last night?” He said. “Barely. Just noise. Is that a noise rock band?” “No, that’s just a straight rock band. It’s the place; it’s a dump. They’re going to be playing at the new place that just opened up on State. I’m sure the acoustics are better there.” “They […]
