By Charles Nunmaker, Contributing Writer Â
Everybody who attended the show by Full Service, Scotty Don’t, and Badfish last Thursday knew exactly what they were in for when they walked into The Varsity: one of the most solid, energetic rock/reggae shows ever. Walking through the entrance, many couldn’t help but notice the Badfish t-shirt with “I […]
5 Reasons to Sing in January!
By Jason Andreasen
In recent years, plenty has been made about the lack of big-name talent that comes through Baton Rouge when it comes to music. Sure, we don’t see Bruce Springsteen or U2, but that doesn’t mean that great acts ignore the Red Stick altogether. In fact, during the month of January, it looks like […]
The best band reunion news of the year!
By Jason Andreasen
Okay, so reunions by bands from the Sixties and Seventies can be complete disasters. Music lovers have a certain memory of a beloved band that can either be absolutely destroyed or mildly refreshed.

TW Interview: Man Plus Building
by Kayla Falgoust
Music Editor
TW: How did the band form? Tell the story.

Finally, something worth watching on VH1
By Jason Andreasen
Who doesn’t want to watch back-to-back marathons of Flavor of Love, Brooke Knows Best and The Surreal Life reruns? Hopefully, you. The channel that came into existence under the title “Video Hits First” has all but abandoned both “video hits” and music altogether. That said, the recent broadcast of VH1 Rock Honors The […]
