What is this? Why does a band from Jackson, MS, here in the 21st century, sound like no other band from Mississippi or the south, for that matter? It's a rock band: a quintessential quartet of drums (Jody Suarez) , bass (Jakob Clark) , guitar (Joshua Clark) , and keyboards (Chris Michaels) . But thats where the similarity with so many other bands ends. LBE buzzes and hums with a power all its own. Theres... more

Hip-Hop
  "so do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little... more

I have a poetry book about to be published intitled "To Know Is To Love", and a slew of songs submitted to BMI for publishing as well. So yes, I’m still on my grind. But fret not because I still have a few tricks up my sleeve and will... more

  Move over, Ghostland. There's a new electro powerhouse in town, and this duo ain't leaving until they have all of Austin dancing. Composed of El Paso natives and childhood friends Phil Arciniega and Justin Dillon, Gobi was conceived after countless nights spent dancing in electronica clubs along the Mexican border town of Juarez. By the summer of 2006, when the friends returned to school at Texas State University, the band... more

Club
Hannover, the capital of Lower Saxony, sometimes known as ‘Bosshanover’, although this tropical moniker may appear deceptive as blue seas and palm trees are pretty rare around these parts! Nevertheless, it can be argued that this is the place where the primordial mixture of ‘Nu- Bossa’ and funky breaks first sprang to life in the mid 1990s. By the end of that decade, music maniacs Ralf Droesemeyer and Mark... more
