`In Between' requires patience

A few recommendations for viewing the Riverside Ensemble's latest "theatrical poem," "In Between." 1) Forget the character names listed in the program - they won't help greatly. Indeed, Joe Pesce's protagonist - or at least the focus of the flurry of stage activity about to erupt before you - is called "Nameless One."

Gipsy Kings

The Gipsy Kings are more than a typical group of strumming guitarists. Its sound draws from a rich past but also embraces a modern sound that rises above a simplistic flamenco label.

Rock band novel goes `Nowhere'

The music business is a gritty and commercial place to work. That would be the somewhat skewed message perceived from Jon Baird's "Songs From Nowhere Near the Heart," a novel that takes a satirical look at two bands touring together.

‘Jay and Silent Bob’ charming

So, Jay finally scored a chick. It took Jason Mewes’ stoner character long enough to get some action. How long? Try four movies. It looks like, however, that the fifth movie’s a charm. In fact, everything about Kevin Smith’s fifth movie, “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back,” is charming — although often in an immature, psychotic way.

Clever lyrics, autumnal music fuel ‘Lullabies’

“The first rock band I fell in love with was U2,” lead vocalist Jimmy Gnecco of the summer bloom group, Ours, confesses in his press release.

Albums herald rock comeback

It seems as if no matter where rock fans tune into for music these days, they can’t seem to escape from the recurring rap-rock beats of Limp Bizkit, Korn and even new artists, Linkin Park. Fortunately, the pure rock sound of the bands we’ve loved since the mid ‘90s is making a comeback — and sounds like it’s here to stay. Boy Hits Car may potentially be one of them.

‘Man’ lets seasoned cast shine

When dreams are pursued, nothing else matters. Historical events of titanic proportions can pass by the focused individual with all the substance of illusion and everything must take second place when one’s eyes are on the prize.
