As anyone who's followed [Adrian Belew]'s career path can imagine, those tastes are fairly unpredictable. Belew's career took off after Frank Zappa discovered him gigging in a Nashville cover band in the late '70s, after which he began touring and recording with David Bowie, Talking Heads, King Crimson and, more recently, members of prog rock bands Tool and Primus. They're not being serviced by the mainstream," Belew says between swats. "They're music people, and they really want to hear different kinds of live music. Belew left his last nonmusic-related job when he was bassist [Julie Slick]'s age, 20. He worked at a furniture factory, where his father was a foreman. "Oh my gosh, I'm happy I'm not doin' that," Belew says, "inhaling sawdust all day."
If you go What: U.S. Air Force Band & Singing Sergeants When: 7:30 p.m. Friday Where: Clay Center Cost: Free, no ticket required Its not easy to say which is the more difficult part of getting a slot in the U.S. Air Force Band or chorus. First, musicians have to get their foot through the door of an incredibly competitive tryout for one of the 10 bands and choral groups stationed around the country, said Lt. Col. Alan Sierichs, the commander, conductor and music director of the Washington, D.C.-based group. Most of them have very formal degrees and some have graduate degrees in music performance, Sierichs said. The next step yikes is to meet with a local Air Force recruiter, sign up and head off to basic training, just like any other Air Force recruit. Musicians have to pass muster wi...
I've been told that both my mother and I were born in the wrong generation. With my mother enjoying the more modern bands like Tool and Puddle of Mudd and me enjoying music from the '80s, it's hard to argue. Luckily, the two of us can enjoy the music of our own generations on occasion. Needless to say, I was a little wary about to StaticX's Cannibal. Once I did listen, though, I was amazed at what I heard.
There are many times when I do not feel like driving to anybody's gym or exercise class, so having an "at-home" option is a real treat. Here are tips to get your home exercise ready: Get with the bands. A quality workout band is a great tool for variable resistance training and can be used safely in most every room. If you prefer using weights, go with a set of adjustable dumbbells (up to 25 lbs. each). Check out this web site for a great pair of adjustable weights, www.bowflex.com
It might sound cheesy, but myspace.com has been a very useful tool in networking with other bands, just getting to know them and hooking up shows here there," said Jose del Mar, guitarist for the quintet. "We would really like to break into the Austin market since there are so many venues out there and a crowd much more enthusiastic about live music. Fin del Mar (left to right) is [Robert] del Mar, keyboards; Johnny del Mar, drums; John del Mar, bass; Jose del Mar, guitar; and Rob del Mar, guitar. The will be performing Friday, December 14, at The Mix (2423 N. St. Mary's) with Los #3 Dinners. (Photo courtesy)
As a child growing up in Cleveland, Neil Jacobs constructed a primitive guitar made out of rubber bands and a shoebox. Today he owns so many guitars he has stopped counting them, but his trademark tool is the twelve-string. I can make it sound like a lot of instruments," he said. "It's like my private little orchestra.
Shredding through the genre with a sound that ranges from melodic metal to Tool-like intellectual metal to death metal, local bands like The Seventh Circle, Leviathan and Solidify are starting to garner lots of attention from the young crowd that gathers at Warehouse 21. The teen venue is one of the few places these bands play, [Anthony Valerio] tells us, because owners "don't want their bar torn down from mosh pits, and we're not big money-getters for them." Still according to Valerio, who also produces metal nights at W21, a good night will draw about 100 people. Judging from the quality of these bands, no wonder. Though I'm no particular fan of metal, there's no denying these kids' agility and ability. Take The Seventh Circle's recent self-titled EP release. We're not talking cheesy ...
Like other hard rock bands, including Queens of the Stone Age and Tool, the Santa Cruz trio DILLIGAF proves that hard rock can be more than just a bunch of longhairs bashing out killer riffs. "Pale White and Bloated," from the group's 1999 CD titled Enjoy It While You Can, sounds...
The terms "string quartet" and "heavy metal" aren't generally found in the same sentence, let alone the same universe. So how could any self-respecting music fan imagine string quartets doing instrumental tribute albums to such bands as Metallica, Tool, Korn, Disturbed, and even the ultra-aggressive Mudvayne? And how could some of them actually be rather fascinating works?
