Don’t call it a Comeback Story Part 1: The Cody Almond Story They say behind every great president, there is an even greater woman. Well behind every good musician there’s the girl that broke his heart, the one that showed him to love, and the music that got him through it all.     When Cody Almond, front man of Don’t Call it a Comeback, was in third grade he fell for one of these... 

I sat down with three of the four members to do this interview, which is not an easy task.  Half the band no longer lives In Indianapolis.  With past bands listening to them I understand the revolving doors on members.  After the initial “let’s start a band” junior high excitement, reality must set in.  Being in a band, even a half way decent band is hard work.  There has to be practice... 

He is We, consist of two main members Rachel Taylor and Trevor Kelly. The two met while working in a music shop, the kind where you can rent a tuba. You can imagine how much down time you have at a job like this. When you’re surrounded by instruments and just naturally talented, you can’t help but to mess around during down time on the job. Rachel Taylor was messing around on the keys,... 

Wednesday 100 Monkeys were let loose on this city and they rocked it from the moment they stepped off the bus. Ok maybe there wasn’t a 100 of them, but with all the instruments this band incorporates you would think there was more than five. The boys started off their day at Fox News, and one of the local radio stations. At which point they headed to Best Buy for a signing. This is when I met... 

Jackson Rathbone might be best known for being Jasper in Twilight, but before he ever stepped on the twilight set, he and room-mate Ben Graupner had a budding love with 100 Monkeys. Rathbone and Graupner attended a performing arts school in Michigan, yes they attended for theater, but they fell in love with music, and art in general. “The way the school works out, you’re living with a whole bunch... 

This six-member band from Lansing, Michigan has created a dilemma for themselves.  You claim this name as your own and you had better kick some ass on stage.  This is what Mona, The Vollrath’s favorite bartender told them Thursday.  I am certain this is not the first time they have heard this.  I caught them Thursday almost as soon as they drove into town. They have an easygoing banter with... 

I am rethinking my interviewing practices.  I think there is something to be said for talking to a band right after they pull into the venue.  They seem to be a bit punchy from the road trip and tell stories about losing the deposit on a rental RV and bathing in the rest area sink. The Sky We Scrape is a Chicago rock/punk band who has been around long enough to know the ups and downs of the music... 

  It is an odd night when it begins sitting in the back parking lot at The Vollrath in a group circle.  Three of the members of Collecting Clouds were under 21.  They were not allowed in until it was time to perform and then only on the stage.  Visiting with this seven-member band from Greenfield, IN was a random trip to topics from Blues Clues, Mr. Rogers, and the poll on which band member... 

With the release of their newest album “When Your Through Thinking, Say Yes” and their recent concert at The Egyptian Room with Runner Runner and Good Charlotte, Yellowcard’s violinist, Sean Mackin, graced me with the honour of sitting down for a one on one interview to get all the little fun facts and info about any upcoming news in Yellowcard Land. So strap yourselves in and get ready as I... 

  To All My Dear Friends consists of Marc Henessey, violin, guitar, looping, vocals and Greg Stull, drums though he is solo for this part of the tour.  Marc is from Gainesville, Florida where he played the local circuits for three years.  Now he is on the road bringing his unique music interpretations to all.  Quiet spoken he might be, but he is driven and not shy to talk about his quest to...
