Artist: REMI WOLF
Who: Conquering 30-year old soulful pop
songstress from Palo Alto, California.
Album: MUD
Her brand new 3rd one.
NME: “Funk-pop maximalist gets her hands dirty. The genre-blending artist
emerges from a period of emotional turbulence to unearth a more grown-up,
toned-down sound.”
Muddy cover if you ask me.

Band: BAD WAITRESS
Who: 4 fierce art-punk provocateurs
from Toronto, Canada.
Track: I ONLY LIKE YOU WHEN I’M DRUNK
Single from their sophomore album In The Hollow,
following their 2021 debut No Taste. Tracklist and
pre-order info right here.
Info: The title sounds like a joke you might regret making the next morning, but the song itself keeps digging beneath the punchline. “You horrify me / Make everything shit around me,” vocalist Kali-Ann Butala spits at the outset, only to admit moments later that she’s still drawn in. Desire becomes something embarrassing and invasive, the kind of attraction that seems to make less sense the closer you look at it.

TUTV: Here’s some toxic and sick rock ‘n’ punk tumult. Bad Waitress attack your
terrified stereo, and your scared eardrums, and get in your panic-stricken face
in less than 3 minutes.
Schizoid guitars, an hysterical octopus drummer, and intoxicated spits and
snears join fighting forces to get their message loud and across anybody all
who dare to listen sober to this merciless motherrocker.
Stone the crows.
Release the bats.
Time to drink yourself in oblivion
and meet Badass Waitress.
“I only like you when I’m drunk / I only like you when I’m fucked up and crazy.”

“I had dinner with Prince once, and he was just sipping tea,
very daintily. I was stuffing food down my face and I was like ‘Aren’t you gonna eat?”. And he didn’t. I have this theory about people who don’t eat. They annoy me. It’s something about being in control.”

Artist: ROB MOSS
Who: Sizzling, seasoned rocker from
Washington D.C., who has multiple albums
under his belt.
Track: THE MORE I SCROLL
His newest single.
TUTV: When you like to go nuts to glam rock mixed with riff-roasting rippers
and non-stop pounding beats, then Robert Moss is your man. His guitar is his
holy grail. For years now, he has used his six-string friend to knock out inflamed
rippers, cutting sharp and hitting hard.
No reason whatsoever to scroll here and now, people; let Moss overwhelm your
ears; it’ll be way better than terrorizing your eyes in front of your toxic screen.
“The more I scroll
The deeper the hole
It works on my brain
To make me feel bad
Yeah, the more I scroll
The greater the toll
It sucks my soul
Till it’s gone dry ”
“The less we scroll
We’ll get out of the hole
It’ll help our brains
Not always feel so bad
Yeah, the less we scroll
We’ll get out of that hole
We’ll realize what we had lost
And what we can get back
If we try”

Boston‘s notorious rock titans AEROSMITH (active since 1970 – 15 albums)
return to the stage for two special shows at the Hollywood Bowl – Los Angeles
for 2 concerts, on October 29 and November 1.
In 2024, the band announced their live action retirement,
because of frontman Steve Tyler‘s (78 now) vocal injury.
But Steve‘s vocal cords are obviously working okay again.
The shows will feature an all-star cast with – take a deep breath – The Black Crowes,
RUN DMC, Heart, Andrew Watt, Billy Idol, Chad Smith (RHCP), Duff McKagan (GN’R), Eric
Church, Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Marcus King, Mike Inez (Alice In Chains), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Pat Monahan (Train), Sammy Hagar, Slash (GN’R), Steve Stevens,
Sully Erna (Godsmack), Tom Morello, Adam Wakeman, Audley Freed, Kenny Aronoff and
more (even more??), with Don Was serving as music director.
I wonder how many dressing rooms they need to get all those artists in.
Whatever it’ll be all about shutting up and dancing.

Scottish rock & pop icon ROD STEWART (aged 81 now) scored a No. 1 hit
in the UK and the US with MAGGIE MAY (more than 440 million streams
on Spotify) today 55 years ago, on 9 October 1971.
The song was co-written with his guitarist Martin Quittenton and
appeared on his 3rd dolo LP, titled Every Picture Tells A Story.
It also hit the top spot #1 in Canada and Australia.
Written from Stewart‘s personal experience, Maggie May expresses the ambivalence
and contradictory emotions of a boy involved in a relationship with an older woman.
The woman’s name was not Maggie May. Rod The Mod has stated that
the name was taken from “an old Liverpudlian song about a prostitute”.
“Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin’ to say to you.”

Artist: GREG FREEMAN
Who: Modern day soul-country
singer-songwriter from Maryland.
Album: ALL SET THE BONE
His brand-new 3rd one.
Press info: “Freeman writes about the fears of love nursed by catastrophe,
yet protected by the limits of its own memory. He dives well and far here into
what it costs to live through the present moment, and his band’s instrumentation
mirrors that with dense song structures and spacious improvisation.
The weirdest angel I ever saw.

Band: TRÄŠHBAG
Who: Hefty Irish duo from Dublin (where everyone seems to in a band lately).
They spent time playing in numerous bands together or standing in for each
other in various bands.
The tandem have a philosophy of fun and not taking themselves too serious.
In this the pair found freedom to explore new ideas and sounds, pulling from
a wide range of influences including punk, funk, prog and metal.
Track: BULLET TO MY BRAIN 2
Only their 2nd single, following their boiling
debut slam White Van from last June.
TUTV: Expect some filthy garage rock hubbub. These 2 Irish ramblers
put their trash where their bag is. Broken guitars, nerve-racking bass and
drum attacks and vocal hurly-burly arouse every nerve in your pogoing
body, in just 145 seconds.
Brainsick right? Then reach for the repeat button and restart your solo moshpit.
Two words.
Harum scarum.
