Paste Magazine... Choose yer price!

Just a quick notice to those that are interested in reading about music. Paste magazine is one of the fastest growing INDEPENDENTLY published magazines in the US. Every issues comes with an awesome sampler cd that gets plenty of play in my car stereo and allows me to sample new independent artists from around the country. The articles are usually very well written and it's just an all around good magazine. I'm not trying to really promote for them or anything so I'll get on to my point...

Paste is offering a "pick your price" promotion for a one year subscription (you must pay at least a dollar.) You can give gift subscriptions and you can also renew a subscription if you already read the beauty that is Paste. I had subscribed earlier this summer at the price of $19.99 but renewed for another year for a dollar (call me a tightwad but bucks are tight and magazines make tons on advertising.) Just a heads up to those that are looking for a cheap gift for xmas or a good toilet reader.

Archiving Wax Fang, Part Two...

This little girl to the left may be Wax Fang's youngest fan. As I sat on the staircase, I watched her Dad zip around the area where Scott, Kevin and Jake had assembled snapping shot after shot. It should be noted that she was not wearing headphones, she was wearing ear protection as Wax Fang nearly blew the windows out of the Bardstown Road located record store, Ear X-tacy this past tuesday.

I took some pictures from my perch at the bottom of the staircase as well as a recording of the show that turned out well besides some distortion on the bass end of the recording. I think maybe I had the mics a little too close to the speakers. That being said, if there are any audiophiles out there that could better repair the recording, please let me know.

Archiving Wax Fang, Part One...

Last Saturday we went to the album release show for Wax Fang; for those who made it out, you know it was a great show. From Lucky Pineapple's high energy opening set to Centipede E'est (Scott Carney's pals from his second home, Pittsburg) rocking the foreign crowd ultimately leading to Wax Fang's brilliant set.

Lucky Pineapple has recently lost David Cundiff as bassist, and swiftly added Aaron Hodge (of Louisville bands Wino, Mr. Panic Button, WEAPONS, and most recently The Radium Screen) to their lineup. This was the first time we've seen LP since Leboswki Fest back in July, and they managed to slay the Louisville crowd with fruity vibrations once again; thanks LP!

On to the Wax Fang content... the show was a great wirlwind that encompassed nearly the entire new album as well as some tracks from the past. If you've been out to see WF at all this past year you will notice several tracks from the album as they have been testing them on us for some time now. Great show fellas and now on to the media!

Photos of Lucky Pineapple, Centipede E'est, and the Fang... here!
