RRX: How’s everything going? JC: Everything’s good. My kids are in Rock Academy. Ever heard of that? RRX: I assume I’ve heard of similar programs. JC: Yeah, it’s like School of Rock. They’ve got a show tonight, so I was helping them with the load in. I actually teach one night a week over there. […]
RRX: Brian we first got acquainted when you worked for Tommy Boy Records. At the time you were my main contact at the record label for press inquiries. Tell us a little bit about your experience working for what was once “the” hip hop label to be affiliated with. If it’s not too personal what […]
RRX: Ajay Mathur, how are you doing? AM: I’m good thanks a lot for having me, Rob. RRX: Absolutely. Here at RadioRadioX we recently premiered one of your songs with our DJ Vito (Ciccarelli) and we’ve been giving you a lot of spins ever since. Just so the people know, can you give us some […]
The second Upstate Punk Rock Flea Market was a tremendous success. It was a revolving crowd from noon until six and it’s always warms my heart to see so many folks with green and purple hair mixing it up with the hardcore and punk shoppers.

On Thursday night 4/14 at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall I had the very wonderful pleasure of experiencing Gordon Lightfoot live in concert. Gordon Lightfoot has been an active musician for nearly 65 years and the 83 year old is still very active. It was incredible seeing this man and his band play live, he’s […]
RRX: So, I became familiar with your band Ampevene because of your bassist Mack Hogan. I knew Mack when he was still a long-haired, high school metal guitarist sharing a jam space with my band Smittix. Now it seems as though he has matured and gotten himself a haircut. I always saw the talent that […]
Today I am speaking with Sara Hill (executive producer) regarding the 10th Annual Gospel Jubilee event coming to Proctors in Schenectady Saturday April 23rd at 6pm. RRX: Sara, please tell us a little bit about your involvement and what you do for the Gospel Jubilee. What does it mean to be an executive producer of […]
