Rob Beaulieu. RRX: I’ve had your name on my desk for months, so I’m finally glad that we connected. RB: I appreciate it. RRX: So just for the back story, the abridged version… if you don’t mind if you can tell us a little bit about yourself, about the bands and the music? RB: I’m […]
I spent some time with The Dojo Beyond Space and Time’s proprietor Aidan Hennessey. What I found– beyond a visionary, driven young man–was really how local music and art can be a strong thread helping to bind communities. Whether through visual or performance art, comedy, or music, Aidan has applied an inexhaustible motivation to his […]
This isn’t just the month of our nation’s independence, it’s also the month of your escape from corporate radio! Celebrating five years of Radioradiox.com with Rob Beaulieu, Nate the Space God, and Urine! Xperience […]
Gene Sennes. In the early 90’s my band and I found ourselves in need of a drummer. I knew several local players, but they either had steady gig and were unavailable, or just weren’t the right fit for The Decadent Royals. Fortunately, Dave Shachne and Norman Kee were familiar with the legendary Gene Sennes, a […]
The Rock and Roll (Hall of Fame) Circus. I have a confession to make. I love the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In particular, I love it twice a year: early February when that year’s nominees are announced. And three months later, when the “winners” (and, by extension, also the “losers”) are announced. Not […]
The Crawl. I am surrounded by mothers. They come in many forms, personalities and ages – older, younger, adoptive, step, single, married, military. I know churchgoing, cake-baking, field-trip volunteering, dinner on the table by six, ‘my children are my everything’ type moms. I know pot-smoking, mushroom-loving, concert-going, let your child run naked and free, ‘go […]
GLENS FALLS – If you haven’t heard of The Spot, you’re missing out on one of the most unique and entertaining new bands in the 518 music scene. Comprised of Greg Auffredou on percussion, Aaron Cook on bass guitar, Tim Daley on lead guitar, Tommy Socolof on keys, and Jay Mullen on guitar and vocals, […]
Deveria interview. We lean over the opened hoods of muscle cars, tossing numbers in the air like 426 and 3.0 liter, and we marvel at how that combination of numbers and constants and forces can combine and take a quarter mile in fourteen seconds. Heavy metal is no different, except the numbers are 4/4 and […]
Andy Hearn, an interview with OP Callaghan. I have a four year old daughter, who is basically my shadow on the weekends. A busy life during the week often robs us of quality time together, so I try to make it up to her on my days off. We usually try to get to the […]
Vampires. Did you know the first local vampire came out of his grave at Albany Rural Cemetery in June of 1887? No? Prove me wrong, go ahead. But in seriousness, vampires have clung not only to our necks, but our hearts as well. Christopher Gaunt and Joe Gietl are in the process of raising the […]
