Dos Amigos By Mike Shudt Hey music lovers! Welcome to Uncovered – the cool new spot where, every month, we’ll profile a different cover band from the Albany area. First up in the spotlight is Dos Amigos – the littlest big band in the Capital District. What Dos Amigos lacks in number of members they make […]
I’ll keep this short… ish. We just got a big stash of the Xperience – February 2019 issue, the sounds and grooves of RadioRadioX in print. And so we went forth from the studio, were fruitful and played stork for the many great businesses that wanted to offer their patrons some magic with their whisky […]
The modern world, in many ways, is a created thing. Not getting religious or philosophical, just saying that every graphic, every jingle, every eight-thirty a.m. pre-work cranker was created. Yes, yes, your favorite band, but more than that; the world as we know it is propped up by names that appear in the liner notes […]

Johnny Morse is a rocker’s rocker. There isn’t a bar or roadhouse in the Capital Region he hasn’t been kicked out of (or wish he had.) A fiery left-hand and the charm of an alley cat, Johnny mixes the vibes of Stevie Ray and Tom Waits, with a little overdrive and a lot of moxie. […]
Ralph Renna told me to get bent the other day. I figured he was pissed at me, but we he texted me ‘get Bendt…” I did just that; I got Bendt. Describing themselves as ‘a face of modern rock,’ Bendt delivers a sound with a smile, gaining a following and carving its own niche in […]
