Band/album review #3
Kid Midi If you go by the lyrical content of the title track from “To The End of the Beginning”… “we are Kid Midi! I am Kid Midi! and you are Kid Midi!” Interesting to see inclusiveness when it comes to any artist or musician. Most of us are wallflowers deep down and sometimes afraid of the crowds we have to perform in front of. As a live performer, Kid Midi will work his ass off until he wins...

The Howdies are NOT: -bluegrass -a band that plays both kinds of music: country and western! -direct descendants from Minnie Pearl The Howdies ARE: -self-described hillbilly “stomp” -storytellers of pain that only “elixir” can numb -healers of ills with songs that get you dancing or jumping up and down This band is comprised of...

Band/Album review #5
Andy Zipf - Cafe Cottage Lafayette, LA Saturday 3/19/05 There had been quite a bit of buildup for the four act bill put together by area promoter C&B Rock City. One Man Machine and the Amazing Nuns were already part of the woodwork of the Lafayette LA music scene. Andy Zipf was one of the acts that by and large was unknown by Lafayette.
