Elon Musk – .​.​.​As Your Wanderer Taps At The Invisible Gate
…As Your Wanderer Taps At The Invisible Gate by ElonMusk Elon Musk (the band, not the Paypal co-founder turned Space explorer) describes themselves as “exploring the cosmic frequencies… a space cruise through fuzz and phase.” There is little additional flair that one could add to that summary that would be at all necessary. They nailed […]
Fable Cry – “Come Meet the Reapers”
One time I walked into The Basement just as a set from Fable Cry was kicking off. Frontman Zach Ferrin struck me with his distinctive look – a dapper suit with a finely curled moustache and perfectly coiffed hair.

There’s three levels: Green for no power loss, little damage and a full menu, Yellow for limited to no power, low supplies and a limited menu and, finally, Red for severe damage and the restaurant […]
COVID Quarantine and Supporting the Community: A How To
We recently posted about a GoFundMe campaign to help keep DRKMTTR running. While it looks like they’ve successfully reached their goal, they are far from the only establishment hurting right now for funds to keep their lights on, pay their staff and ensure any sort of future once we’ve made it through the COVID-19 storm. […]

Some Things to Buy on Bandcamp
We are huge fans of Bandcamp, as you might have been able to tell from the fact that every single music review on the site points to their embeds rather than a streaming service. The reason for this is because their entire business model is built on empowering artists of any size. Anyone can setup […]
