Grateful Dead Tribute: Dead Meat Serving Up Tasty, Juicy, Tender Music at Newburgh Brewing Company

If you’re a Dead Head, you’ve surely seen Grateful Dead tribute band upon Grateful Dead cover band, ad nauseum. Some are good. Some phone it in. And some possess an ability to change your life. Dead Meat - Premiere Grateful Dead Tribute The latter rarely comes through an ability to mimic or replicate the Grateful Dead’s triumphant highs and desperate, lonely, distressed, artistic and authentic lows. That, in my opinion, will never happen, no matter how hard any band, with any lineup, well-known or otherwise, tries. But some Dead tribute bands CAN harness the energy and the power and the thrust of a good Grateful Dead concert. This is an unspeakable and indescribable transfer of inspiration, imagination and vision that far transcends rhythm, melody and lyrics. These bands offer ...

Framing Hanley Returns (Again?) with “Say Less”

If you were (an emo kid) on the Internet at any point in the 2000's-2010's, I guarantee that you've come across Framing Hanley at least once. If you were anything like me, then finding out about the band's indefinite hiatus and subsequent "farewell tour" in 2015 was nothing short of heartbreaking--especially given the fact that all three of their albums up until that point were solid bodies of work. What I didn't know until recently is that this "farewell tour" wasn't exactly the definitive ending that I had anticipated it would be upon leaving my local stop on that tour. As it turns out, the band announced the end of their hiatus in 2018, and in 2020, they released a fourth album, Envy. During their hiatus, Framing Hanley released One Màs More, a project split between new renditions ...
