Manchester Orchestra returns to The Fox for their annual Thanksgiving concert, The Stuffing. Always bringing some friends along for the show, this year's lineup featured Paris Jackson, slothrust, Briston Maroney, FOXING, Andy Shauf, and finally a headlining set by Manchester Orchestra. After missing their show in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 11th Stuffing was a special one.

Album Review: 30 Years of Loveless by My Bloody Valentine

(11/18/21 4:04pm)

There are a few reasons as to why the evolution of rock music has yielded some of the most influential, creative, and unique albums and artists of any genre. Whether it be for the simple fact that rock music sees no instrumental bounds, can be enjoyable in any context, and can be independent from or wholly dependent on technology and electronic production, it is undeniable that rock music is a constantly changing spectrum of sounds and emotions filtered through the lenses of different musical geniuses throughout the last 100 years. Of all the genres and subgenres contained within the realm of rock music, few have as distinct of a sound as shoegaze. Dubbed “shoegaze” due to guitarists and singers being known for standing in one spot, sometimes staring at the ground or “shoe-gazing” for the majority of a show, the layered, fuzzy, reverb packed guitar tracks, pounding drums, and touches of ambient synth make this a timeless form of rock music since its original conception in the late 80s and early 90s. With major pioneers of shoegaze-like instrumentation dating back to the 60s with creative minds like Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and the Beatles, followed by the sounds and styles of The Cure, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr., and eventually brought into true form with groups like the Cocteau Twins and the Jesus and Mary Chain, it is debatable if any band captured the true essence of shoegaze-rock better than My Bloody Valentine.

An Interview With Johnny Manchild

(11/05/21 4:04pm)

Johnny Manchild and The Poor Bastards are the greatest band you’ve never heard of. The band consists of a piano, trumpet, saxophone, guitar, bass, and drums create a sound that you can’t here anywhere else. They mix jazz, rock, punk, alternative, and more. The Oklahoma city band has up to ten members or “bastards” that can rotate in and out. They have produced 2 studio albums with a third that arrived today. They are even innovative in their approach to releasing music. They released a single a month in 2019 until ultimately compiling all the songs together on “One Big Beautiful Sound”. At the start of this year, the band had a crowdfunding effort for their new album which raised $36,000. At the forefront of it all is Johnny Manchild. Johnny is the guy who writes the lyrics and helps compose a lot of the music. The band started because Johnny decided he wanted a band and picked guys from his college to be in it. I got the pleasure of interviewing Johnny on the morning before the band’s new album, “We Did Not Ask For This Room” released. This is the result:
