Hi. I’m D.X. Ferris. Thanks for taking time to check out my bullshit. Suburban Metal Dad is a new comic strip I’m writing. And drawing. It’s reality-based stories about life in the 10th circle, where middle managers and other morons have dominion. Essentially, Suburban Metal Dad is me warming up for couple unrelated projects I’m […]

Rush: Cleveland concert to be filmed for release
Remember how I said that the Cleveland show would be a “special” show? Here’s the newly official word from the band’s official website: As a tribute to the US city that first played their music, Rush confirms that the Cleveland performance of their Time Machine show on April 15th at the Quicken Loans Arena will […]
Rush brings their Time Machine to Cleveland (and Toledo too!)
As my radio pal Nard put it, “Finally, a Rush concert I don’t have to fly to!” At last, the Canadian rock trio will be keying the Cleveland digits into their touring GPS as part of a newly announced extension of additional Time Machine tour dates for 2011 (which will include the band’s first ever […]
Gonna be an ass kicking at The Beachland
I’m thinking that this week might finally be the week that I get around to checking out Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass Kickin’ Team, booked for a show at The Beachland on Wednesday. You hopefully know Mr. Terry Anderson from his time spent with The Yayhoos (w/ Anderson, Eric Frikkin Ambel, Dan Frikkin Baird […]
Ask the dust if we can go to Chicago…
Our good pals over at Too Poppy poured a little bit of salt in the wound to remind us that alt-rockers Dada (er, dada) are headed to this side of the world for a rare set of tour dates as they wrap up work on their upcoming sixth studio album (!!!). One of those shows […]
Is there anybody listening?
Huge congrats go out to Sherry, the lucky recipient of the 20th anniversary deluxe edition box set for Empire by Queensryche. Congrats! Now, while the title of this post was a slightly clever nod to a certain Queensryche song from the Empire album, today’s post actually has to do with listening parties. Those of you […]
TONIGHT! Los Lobos and Jorma Kaukonen at The Masonic Auditorium
Cleveland music fans are in for a real treat tonight with Los Lobos in town to play a rare area show at a super cool venue. Tonight’s event at the Cleveland Masonic Auditorium is being presented by the fine folks at Visible Voice Books in partnership with The Beachland. I’m still waiting to hear the […]
The ATV Interview: David Wilcox
There are quite a few good shows in town this week, but I’m particularly excited about the pending Cleveland return for singer/songwriter (and Mentor, OH native) David Wilcox. His engaging blend of songs and stories first drew me in when I discovered his 1991 release Home Again (his third album and second major label release), […]
Speaking of Jay Nash…
He has a newish live album, Live at Sun Studios, captured during a stint of touring with Mississippi-bred songstress Garrison Starr (and the live release features tracks/performances from both Nash and Starr). According to his blog, we can also look forward to a new studio album in 2011, plus a full length album from TFDI, […]
Shows To Know: Greg Laswell with Kim Taylor, Harper Blynn and The Rescues
As a veteran of a number of Greg Laswell performances, it’s rare to see a Laswell show where I don’t walk away with two or three new musical favorites, thanks to his well-picked support acts (see Jay Nash, Anya Marina, Cary Brothers, just to name a few). More than simply “opening acts,” it often seems […]
