Livin' in the 80s

It would be nice to revisit the "local music scene", and it's impact on the progression of live music in Indiana. There were little pockets of us in most cities. I was lucky enough to know people in Indy, Bloomington, and West Laffeyette. I think that there are many different views of what was happening at that time, and what impact it had on the development of underground music and its progress. It's nice to see that we were not just yanking our chains, but reallly establishing an underground… Continue

The Repellents

Anderson Indiana’s Repellents came together in November of 1981 after a particularly fun and inspiring night out at Crazy Al’s, a restaurant and bar in the Broadripple section of Indianapolis, Indiana. The show featured Dayton, Ohio’s Toxic Reasons and Indy’s own Zero Boys. Guitarist Lumpy and singer Dave Jr. had recently split off from their last band, X-Spurtz. The “manager” from that band, drummer Yukki Gipe, along with his… Continue

Irene & Reed's Concert Debut Dec. 1 @ Birdy's

WTF is “Piano Pop Cabaret?”

Lips like jazz. Eyes like rock. Words like blues. Moves like cabaret….

It’s what you get when you pair the classical piano stylings of Indy’s Jason Reed Milner and the

sultry blues/jazz vocals of poet/journalist and singer-songwriter Leslie Irene Benson with the

equally trained musical ears of drummer Eddie Venable and bass guitarist Scott Carroll.… Continue

#8 Rockit's Famous Pizza: Rockit's Famous Musicians or (The Bands that Made the Pizza Wheel Spin!)

"Oh Kevin, honey this is Bill. His band is playing next door at the Bluebird tonight!"

My Mom greeted me as I walked into the restaurant one Tuesday night. It was my night off from Rockit's and I was planning on popping over to the Bluebird. First, I wanted to see how business was. Even when I was off work, I was never really off work. It was the early/mid Nineties by this time and the business was… Continue

Rest in Peace, Kirk Butler

We lost a great guy Monday night. Kirk was an awesome part of local and international music. He recorded all kinds of artists from Willie Nelson, Miles Davis and Natalie Cole; to flying to Japan to record oddball new-age musicians. He recorded commercial jingles, gospel music, classical, jazz, pop, rock, blues, and everything between.

When I interned at September Recording in the early 90s, he patiently showed me a lot of techniques I still use today. He also filled my ears with… Continue

Band of the Month - Andy D

If you aren't yet familiar with Andy D, here's your chance to say "I saw him during the Viking Mullet era". A sincerely "awe"some, yet humble artist is he. He's set to release a brand new long-player on local label Roaring Colonel this Saturday at Radio Radio and MFT caught up with him early so we could get back-stage passes when his arena…
