Interview with Collie Buddz playing The Masquerade 5/15

By: Shelby Lum Most likely because of the infamous Bob Marley, most (including myself) associate reggae with Jamaica, yet island culture doesn’t just stop in Jamaica, and Collie Buddz is changing the image. “Growing up in Bermuda, reggae was all I listened to,” Collie Buddz said. After he began attending Full Sail University in Florida, he began making his […]

Q&A with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio; Playing Center Stage on May 11

By Al Kaufman “It’s better to burn out then to fade away,” said a wise rock and roller (who has yet to do either after over 40 years).  But these words ring even truer in the world of punk rock. Like a red dwarf, these bands burn brightly with passion and fury, then fade out […]

Photos Courtesy of Hillery Terenzi, Review by Gini Strobel Shaky Knees Music Festival kicked off on Saturday and the weather really couldn’t have been worse.
