Identity Festival at the Comcast Center
I’ve said this to every person who’s asked me about any EDM event and I will pass that message along to you. There is just a vibe truly indescribable, a whole different heart pulse surging through your every core with energy to keep you going with no explanation. Identity Festival did just that and the [...]
Digging Through the Crates #6
Recently I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing William Bonney, a screamo band from the Midwest. Before forming William Bonney though, several of their members were in a band called Merchant Ships, my favorite band as well as one of the bigger screamo bands to come out of the Midwest area. Now they aren’t [...]
Chagigah Kitchen: Tilapia Sliders
Happy weekend, Chagigah listeners! August is right around the corner and there’s only so much time to throw that perfect barbeque you’ve been waiting to call the folks in for—what do you tide them over with while the grill’s heating up? Nothing’s worse than a big family with empty bellies, so this week we’ve got [...]
All A Capprofile: Mixed Company
From their very inception in 1985, Stanford University Mixed Company has made a lasting impression in the collegiate a cappella scene. Before the founder Bonnie Zare created the group, only three a cappella groups dominate the music scene at Stanford. Zare wasn’t the only one who felt there was more to the current a cappella [...]

This or That: “Let Me Know (At Your Best)”
“Let Me Know (At Your Best)” by Aaliyah VS “At Your Best (You Are Love)” by The Isley Brothers I thought this was Aaliyah’s song until I heard the Isley Brothers original. I was shocked because all this time I thought it was an Aaliyah classic, until I heard smooth soul talking Ron Isley singing the [...]
Liars at the Paradise Rock Club
Art-rock fans were not to be disappointed at the Paradise last night as the stacked bill of Los Angeles based Liars and openers Unknown Mortal Orchestra put on a solid show and rocked the house. Kicking the evening off was the Portland, Oregon via New Zealand band Unknown Mortal Orchestra, which features former members of The [...]
King Khan & the Shrines at Brighton
Having expectations when going to a King Khan show is downright unreasonable. They’ll exceed, confuse, and scream away what you were thinking about when you came in. All you need to know is when you get a trumpet, a baritone sax, bongos, a drumkit, two guitars, a keyboard, a bass, and a King onstage, you’re [...]
