Revo Radar: Above & Beyond
It’s a crazy world out there and sometimes all we need is a little bit of group therapy to keep us all together. When I hear the words “group therapy”, my mind immediately links to the English trance group, Above & Beyond. For over a decade, Johno Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamaki have worked [...]
Thoughts on Theater: Auditions
I have been to a lot of auditions in my life. That tends to be the case for most actors since they say that for every one job you do get, there will be twenty five you do not. So the only way to ever work is to simply audition for everything, getting through the [...]

Revo Radar: Zeds Dead
“Zeds Dead, baby. Zeds Dead!” In this case, I’m not just reciting the infamous line from Quetin Taratino’s Pulp Fiction. I’m talking about the Canadian duo that goes by Zeds Dead. After sampling that quote in their song “White Satin”, this has become their trademark saying for fans wherever they go. Not to be mistaken [...]
Fun on the Playground: Labor Day Weekend
The phrase “Labor Day Weekend” is enough to make any student cringe, young or old. It usually means the end of a rockin’ summer and the beginning of a new school year. But not to worry – there are still some fun things to do before you head back to the classroom. Labor Day weekend [...]
The Left End: Interview With Callers
Recently, The Left End was lucky enough to chat with the Sara Lucas of up-and-coming Brooklyn band Callers before a show with the Dirty Projectors at the Paradise Rock Club. Callers are a great example of indie music crossing into other genres to create new genres altogether, and they brought down the house prior to [...]
