Sticky Jazz

She is a one woman army that blends the chaos and balance with a familiar vibe of industrial electronica sound. Her music is a fusion of smooth, cutting edge vocals, surreal guitars, hypnotizing beats and multiple electronic synth elements arising into dark arrangements that, combined with storytelling lyrics, respond to the paranoia of everyday reality. I Ya Toyah spent the majority of 2020 in he...

Groundbreaking Canadian female vocalist Whajne's debut album is an invigorating and bittersweet offering, demonstrating resilience and survival in the face of pain and heartbreak, blending elements of such artists as Alvvays, Snail Mail, Rilo Kiley and Real Estate. Here we find straight driving guitars and semi-gritty punk rock drums, topped off with vocals radiating a sunny surfer pop vibe... a l...

Bob Gruen is the greatest Rock & Roll photographer of all time. If you have seen the photos of John Lennon standing in front of the statue of liberty, or in his "New York" sleevless shirt, or, the iconic Led Zeppelin in front of the airplane, or Sid Vicious of The Sex Pistols holding the hot dog, you have seen his work.  Bob Gruen was friends with everyone in music, just because of the opportuniti...

The band that wrote the song, and inspired "Sticky Jazz". Barry Andrews of Shriekback, one of my favourite musicians of all time.  Shriekback are a band that will sing about invisible rays, princesses being sold into slavery, and Jihad, in one song. They have been featured in movies by Michael Mann, in the "Pre Silence of the lambs" movie "Manhunter", and apparently even wall insulation in New Zel...

The Neverlutionaries' self-titled debut LP album is an unfiltered expression of the heart that seamlessly straddles moods and genres. The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist songwriter Christopher Harold Wells and bound by his distinctively soulful timbre, the eponymous eleven-song release featuring one bonus track tints hook-laden alternative rock with psychedelia, shoegaze-y jazz, and subtle fun...

Black Needle Noise is the current collaboration project of John Fryer. Featuring different musicans and vocalists for every track. John Fryer is the mastermind behind more music than you can imagine.

Having produced and or performed with Depeche Mode, Modern English, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Nine Inch Nails, WIRE, and that is just a few names...

Ron Wasserman is an L.A. based musician, who has been in the industry making music for televivision shows, video games, and his song "I will Love you" performed with "Fisher" is the first song to make a million dollars on an mp3 download.  He did the scores for "Hot in Cleveland" "The Power Rangers" and plenty of other shows and commercials. He is also able to say that the late Eddie Van Halen was...

Ty Herndon is a country singer who has been at it for going on 30 years. He has been spotlighted several times as being the first openly gay country singer. His career has been a rollercoaster to say the least. He is managing to survive, and has even played a few shows in the pandemic. He re worked his Christmas album "Re-Gifted" with Kristin Chenoweth with the song "Orphans of God" . I have known...

If Tom Waits and Siouxsie Sioux had a child, it would be Ryder Cooley of the Dustbowl Faeries.  Dust Bowl Faeries is a dark-carnival band from New York. Their eclectic repertoire of songs draws inspiration from circus, post-punk and Eastern European folk music. Accordion, singing saw, ukulele, lap-steel, guitar and percussion combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries other-worldly sound. The band wa...

Mary Fahl has been interpreting the sounds of the deities for us for close to 30 years. She was the voice for the 90's band "October Project" which was an outstanding group of musicians. She moved on to create some wonderful classical vocal work, but she honestly can do whatever she wants. Example, she found a song in 11th Century Spanish/Arabic and sang it. Her work was also in "Gods and Generals...

The best fremale fronted rock band out there, Lindy Gabriel and her apocalypse is loud, proud, intense and enough to send you out of your chair. She is a post Road Warrior apocalypse dominatrix who had to skip an interview cause she as out on a last minute puppy rescue. Having just released some new material "Systematic Chaos" you can enjoy the raw noise and possibly hope the world comes to an end...

Irish philosopher, lyricist and all around musician who plays all his instruments. Seán Ó Corcoráin released an album "Karma of Youth" earlier in 2020, and now is producing more work. He is an incredible musician, and one deep thinking writer. He covers mythology, mental health, Irish history, and most impressive, he does it in English, which he speaks almost as good as his native Irish. (Yes ther...

This week I interviewed "Strangelove The Depeche Mode Experience", the best and biggest Depeche Mode Tribute show out there. A group of producers who happen to almost look exactly and SOUND Exactly like Depeche Mode. They have been blessed by the band themselves, and are all incredible musicians in their own right. "Is it real? Or is it Memorex?" Give them a listen and see if you can tell. #depech...

Car Astor (formerly known as "See") just released her new album "You Say You Love Me, But I Don't Believe You". This is her 3rd album as Car Astor, and it is a very different sound this time around.
