To appreciate this music, you have to have a streak of wildness, a fierce independence of spirit, and an absolute belief in the unusual, the strange, the unpredictable, the offbeat, and even the generally unacceptable. -- Herschell Gordon Lewis

I believe some musical styles and attitudes can only come out of Detroit because of the climate in this city. Gore Gore Girls are obviously one of them. I saw them play in Ann Arbor and between the blasting music and feminine power that was being emitted my jaw dropped and stayed on the floor for the entire set. 
The Vacancies are a punk rock maelstrom. Singing about fear, pain and survival, their sound is a mix of Hot Water Music and the Dead Kennedys. The band -- Billy Crooked (vocals), Michael James (guitar), Bo (bass), Dave Long (guitar), Kevin Hopkins (drums) -- formed in 1999 and is made up of five guys between 21 and 34-years-old who grew up listening to the Clash....

Screenwriter John August made his bones penning what we'll call surrealist fantasy films -- "Charlie's Angels" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," and embarked on a working relationship with Tim Burton that produced "Big Fish," "Corpse Bride" and 2005's box-office smash "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Since then, his career has turned a corner towards big-budget superhero epics -- he's currently working on bringing DC Comics'...

Sounds like an interesting flick.
I like that comic books are our new mythology line.

The Western mythos runs deep in James Mangold's work, going all the way back to Copland, his gritty urban drama from 1997 about a gang of outlaws who live out on a lawless patch of land called North Jersey, well out of the reach of the civilizing influence of Manhattan. By the third act of that film, what began as a police procedural has evolved...

great interview, ryan -- welcome aboard
If the Killers met Hot Hot Heat in some swanky NYC hotel bar, had a night that involved lots of vodka-soaked linens and a hefty dry cleaning bill, and then never called each other again, nine months later one of them would give birth to Lola Ray.
At one point the guys in Lola Ray were signed to Good Charlottes Sony imprint and enjoyed playing...

God I love this band so much, and
kinda know Amadeo just from seeing them so many times.
He's a real nice guy.
But gosh, I just find the new album rather mediocre.
I think it's their worst one.
Live it was a little better, but was the worst I've
ever seen them live probably. And they
didn't do any old songs at all which was disappointing.
But I haven't listened to 23 enough.
I want to give it more chances.
I'm gonna listen to it right now.

Billy Morrison has always wanted to be part of a rock and roll circus. He may have forgone the greasy handlebar moustache, top hat and striped pantaloons, but with his new band Circus Diablo -- quite literally "the devil's circus" -- Morrison seems to have found himself a group of misfit musicians that share his taste for all things sweaty, dirty and flashy...or in other...

Rumor has it that back in November, 2006, Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns sparked a joint with Australian Parliament member Peter Garrett and U2s Bono while the group lounged coolly on Bonos bed, listening to early demos of Silverchairs latest album, "Young Modern." Oh, the scandal. What happened next was a series of public apologies, where Johns insisted that when hed told that story during a...

Just, ya know, bumpin' the Chair.
I find the band Girl in a Coma fascinating for several reasons: First -- lead singer/guitarist Nina Diaz has a voice thats so powerful and seasoned, sometimes its easy to forget shes only 19-years-old. Second -- bassist Jenn Alva is an out and proud lesbian. And third -- Phanie Diaz has a name that reads like fanny but sounds like fawn-ie. To say the ladies...

Good interview. Good introduction to a band I don't know that well.
I love that their van is the 'Cobra Commander.'
