Color Killer

Do you like pop punk and grunge music? Check out these kids in Color Killer who are only of ages 8, 10, and 11. You wouldn’t expect these kids to be playing so well at such a young age.  They definitely have a bright future ahead of them, it seems more kids are becoming music artists at a very young age and are influenced by the ones around them. Progressing at such a young age brings many opportunities to the table, and also brings a sense of hope that acceptance will be more welcomed. The kids in Color Killer, Lincoln, Nate, and Matt all have colorful hair , hence the name of the band. With kids having dyed hair at such a young age as well, may have changes for the future of how society looks at others for having different colored hair and expressing themselves.

Farewell His Infernal Majesty

Thursday, November 16, was the last day of HIM performing at the Palladium in Worcester MA. The band put on an amazing show and Ville’s voice sounded even better in person, he has so many different ranges in his voice that convey different emotions. Bands CKY and 3Teeth also had great performances and got the crowd riled up. If you are a fan of Marilyn Manson you will also be a fan of 3teeth, both are very similar. The Bang and Whimper is HIM’s last tour, after twenty four years of touring it’s time to say goodbye to the band. We will always still cherish their music and it will still make a difference in our lives.  HIM is one of those bands that will never truly die off, they are the most known and successful rock Finnish bands around. They are well known for their heartagram, which according to Valo represents “the soft and the hard, the male and the female, the yin and the yang.” Another fun fact is that the heartagram has appeared on a few films, being criminal minds,  LA Ink, Charmed, and Viva La Bam. To whomever hasn’t seen HIM live should go to their last tour, it’s definitely worth it!

Support is Key

Hello everyone! This is Kat, I am a new member of the team and I am happy to be here. What I would like to bring to your attention this week is about the support from the audience at shows. There are many fans out there who like to see their favorite bands play at venues, but one thing that would be helpful to the music industry is if people stayed for bands that they don’t know. There have been way too many times where people start leaving after the bands go on that they wanted to see, then the last band or two are stuck with a small crowd and a whole lot less energy for their performance. This can be very disrespectful and can be very misleading to the bands . As a fellow friend of many musicians, I know how much compassion and hard work goes into the bands when making music. Those long nights staying up late to practice and all the traveling that is included, with barely any rest. They work their butts off to make themselves happy and make others happy!  By staying to watch all the bands you may:

(1) Find a band you really like.

(2) Support a band that is trying to get out there.

(3) Show respect to all the bands that are playing.

(4) Make more friends.

(5) Lastly to just have fun!

The bands that are big now, that you all love dearly were once those same bands struggling to get the word out and be more successful in the music industry. So please support your local bands and let their dreams become a reality. Thank you to everyone in the music scene! patandkenzi
