A true hard-rock legend has passed: Lemmy, frontman for Motörhead, and former member of one of my favorite bands, Hawkwind.
I was finally unable to keep up the monthly schedule earlier this year, with my August post not coming out until after Halloween.
Wow, five years – now that’s something to celebrate. Most satisfying no doubt was being able to write about the courageous Pussy Riot.
On October 7, 2014, a remarkable assemblage of musicians came together to perform the Beach Boys song “God Only Knows”.
The end of an era; this isn’t Angus Young, but his lower-profile brother Malcolm Young who is retiring from the band due to health reasons. So sad.
THE RICHMOND SLUTS and BIG MIDNIGHT: The two bands have a similar line-up and the same punkish retro-rock sound.
The super-cool Daft Punk/Stevie Wonder/Nile Rodgers/Pharrell Williams performance of “Get Lucky” – and they just won Record of the Year!
LES HELL ON HEELS, a cool all-female hard rock band whose first CD came out in 2004.
I pause to note the sad passing of Lou Reed, a one-of-a-kind rock star who was the most visible face of the legendary Velvet Underground.
