I don’t know if it’s possible for me to express my excitement when I saw that Anthrax was coming to Indianapolis. It has been a long time since I have seen them live. I am old school, so for me to remember them in their beginning means that the newest line up with some of the original members has even more meaning for me and some of the other fans that were there.  That was the first piece of... 

As Super Bowl fever consumes Indianapolis with its free concerts, zip-lining, and celebrity parties, Jack’s Mannequin managed to sneak in a show completely unrelated to all things Super Bowl.  And a fantastic show at that.  The rockers made a stop to The Egyptian Room Saturday, Jan. 28 as a part of their People and Things tour.       The night began with a light, upbeat performance from Allen...

Josh Randolph of Pioneer, formerly News From Verona, was one of the first people I met in this music scene. So of course when the band that got me into this scene was having a release show for their first full length album I had to attend. The night started off with the boys in Don’t Call it a Comeback, they did a great job of getting the crowd going and the audience geared up for the night. Following... 

During the holidays, music is as big of a tradition as anything. Some may prefer to listen to their favorite artists in the comfort of their own homes or vehicles; some may still enjoy gathering with others to go Caroling; heck, some may even work in retail and are doomed to listen to the muzak Christmas CD on loop for hours on end (all day, every day!) And for some, they prefer to pack a small... 

Sunday evening’s in December are usually filled with football, rest, or wrapping gifts from the weekends shopping. If you were at the Old National Centre you had something more in mind! The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band rolled into town sporting a brand new album ready to share with one of Kenny’s favorite cities. Kenny Wayne, a Colts fan and friend to Jim Irsay has expressed his love for... 

Kick up your heels and forget your troubles. This band is one of the best remedies any one could ever ask for to cure any issue that ails you. Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band has the perfect recipe of feel good, blue grass style music. These three have been doing this for years now and I don’t think anyone could ever compete with the musicality, originality, and still stick to the roots that they... 

Photo by Raymon Guajardo “…we’ve come to the Circle of Lights before, being in the crowd and never did we think that we would be one of the people on stage.”-Trisha Champion The day after Thanksgiving can have many different meanings. For some, it’s a day of rest after an eventful holiday.  For some, it’s the exact opposite as many rush out to the malls to get the best... 

Imagine having your own record collection at six years old. Frank had one. He was, is, and always will be a huge Kiss fan. Not a surprise that Kiss is a influence. Frank grew up with the rise of hardcore punk bands such as Agnostic Front, Discharge, Broken Bones, and the Exploited. In the early 90’s Frank Novinec was a strong force in the up and comingClevelandhardcore scene with bands such as Ringworm,... 

The Pop Punks not Dead Tour didn’t make it to Indianapolis but it did make a stop at the Chicago House of Blues (HOB.) The night at the House of Blues was amazing from the moment we arrived til the moment the show ended. The show was sold out and the place was packed in every single crevice, I had never seen the HOB so full. There was an energy in the place that you could feel, so many people...
