Jonah Koslen to recreate classic MSB CD
I was jazzed to see the news about former Michael Stanley Band singer-songwriter Jonah Koslen who recently announced an April 18th date at The Winchester where he will recreate the classic MSB live album Stagepass with his creatively titled band Stage Pass Now. As someone that didn’t grow up here in Cleveland, it took me […]
Happy 3-11 Day!
3-11 Day always makes me smile…. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen the mighty 311 in concert. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to change that soon! From the band’s official website, here is the rundown of planned activities for 2009: 3-11 DAY (3/11) is a day of celebration & mutual-appreciation for the band […]
Last night with Anya, Jay, and some guy named Greg….
So after a nice spurt of warm weather this weekend, I can see my breath in the air again this morning. What the hell? Oh yeah, thanks Cleveland…. Last night I was at The Winchester, which has become one of my favorite clubs over the years, and lucky for me, I now live about a […]

People always want to […]
Queensryche – American Soldier – New Album In Stores In March
Okay kids, Matt Fun Fact #4012: I’m a big Queensryche fan. If you wondered if Operation Mindcrime II was worth hearing…..damn right it was! And Tribe, the album that came before it in 2003 was also good. Frontman Geoff Tate still has the lungs, and the return of former axeman Chris DeGarmo for some songwriting […]

Sadly, it looks like Devil Moto’s CCR tribute is off the bill. People keep telling me that I need to see Devil Moto, and I guess that once […]
