Weekend Wrapup - COMFEST

The smell of comfest wafted through the air bringing music, food, and fun to Goodale park this weekend and although I did not trip over as many people and small dogs this year compared to last,  the right music brought the right people and positive energy filled the park from Friday morning until Sunday evening. The first two days I was a regular festie buzzing around every sweet looking jewelry and clothing stand that caught my eye - meeting and greeting with my favorite hippies and seeking some seriously needed shade over by the Bozo stage. Sunday I made my volunteer day and got to experience a different side of what goes into the making of the fest and its rich local music and community history. Pride and Comfest are definitely the best two weekends in Columbus and the best weekend to witness some of the best [sic]ness in local music.


Besties this weekend!

best band Saturday: Floorwalkers - obvi
best band Sunday: Spikedrivers! I couldn't stop dancing! Randys were sweet too :)


Band I'm pissed I missed:
The Obviouslies - buying their cd for my back home bluegrass moments... 
Phantods -  I just listened to "Revival" on their Myspace page and I'm hooked! Will be seeing them live- check the weekend page for upcoming shows!

HAPPY COMFEST!

The Latest Crave - RHC Review

This thrashy industrial metal band has a relentless sternum cracking sound.  Original shredding-style guitar solos and the Rev's throaty vocals are a credit to real thrash metal - brutal and rebellious - just the way we like it.

The vocals on "Daughter" have a sadistic hint of Manson in his prime and while the instruments give that perfect balance of chaos and control - my personal favorite.

"Vessel" simply put - amazing. Best NIN cover ever period. "Cast" is rebelicious and violence inciting with riot style riffs and post punk vocals. Reverend H really shows of his industrial metal technique in "Worthy"- his vocals distort reality and transcend thrash, his engineering breaks through industrial and creates a brand new sound- dark, dirty, raw, and visceral.

RHC is music for the masses - perfectly frustrated, addictive, angry and in your face.

The Latest Crave: Marble Park

Get your funk fix with: Marble Park

Marble Park Members: Tony Stewart, Dawu'd Jones, Simo Filali, Charles Valentino, Patrick Ashby

There is so much to love about this band, homegrown roots, funky fresh vibes and music to make you melt...when it comes to review of the album , I just dont know where to begin! I'll start with the sweet, soulful and smooth vocals of Charles Valentino on the smoky track "Your are My Life". Then head on over to the magical way that DJ Jones makes that bass seep through your bones on "I didnt feel a thing". Take a trip down memoy lane with Just One Night hits then get ready for some certified funk with sick riffs a la Patrick Ashby on guitar in I'd follow you anywhere. With strong rhythmic grooves that aim to please (baby, baby, please!) Marble Park takes you on a first class trip to funkytown...just the way we like it!

Watch Charles Valentino as he takes the win on Pepsi's Gimme the Mic Competition!

The Latest Crave: Manic for METAL

My metal roots have stirred a longstanding disdain for pop music and any other form of bubblegum wrapped music (Screamo bands anyone?) 

Bone breaking double bass, blood curdling screams, and lethal drum solos make metal entrancing. Metal has the power to bring people together. Walk into a metal show full of people you have never met before and as soon as the music hits you can find yourself moshing- arms to face to head to hands and if you fall down EVERYONE STOPS to pick you up. Thats the love in metal, thats the love of music, of the vibes of all people coming together through one sound.

It never ceases to amaze me how little interaction the general public has with Metal, when GWAR came to Columbus, I could hardly contain myself as I eagerly awaiting the green and red paint that would drench my body and leave me rainbow stained for at least a few days!

Its as though people cant see the love in metal. But if your are a fan, then you know. If your not a fan then you are missing out on some serious life changing music.

Local metal bands stand up and get in the faces of your fans, we're out here and we just can't get enough so keep it coming!

Here is a video of an up and coming kick ass metal band straight out of Columbus!

The Latest Crave: Hope Vitellas

Hope Vitellas

I first came across hope at my work as a project coordinator at The Women's Fund of Central Ohio. It was at Keyholder 9 where Hope took the stage and my heart with her folk-me-softly melodies. Hope's a powerwoman, she spearheads her own promotions, tours the midwest and Europe, and even finds time to kick some serious ass in the ring as a Muy Thai fighter. You can catch her matches in the Shorth North or see her rocking the stage in venues throughout central Ohio. In the mean time visit www.hopevitellas.com to purchase the albums Komi Baby or Picture Frame. They will blow you away!

NEWS

Blowout your speakers to your favorite Slipknot song today, tomorrow, and forever as we take a moment to remember and to NEVER FORGET the legend of The Pig, # 2, Paul Motherfucking Kick You In The Face with the Bass Gray.

My insatiable love for Slipknot has had a piece of it's heart ripped out of my musical chest but I take sweet sinister comfort in knowing that his memory seeps through every soul shattering Slipknot song. Paul Gray was a phenominal bassist and he will be sorely missed by all of his fans, friends and family.

TOP TEN Slipknot songs:




Purity

Jump da Fuck Up

People = Shit

Diasterpieces

Gently

Vermillion Pt. 2

I Am Hated

Psychosocial

Left Behind

No Life
