[Concert Review] I Fight Dragons, Whole Wheat Bread, and MC Chris Live in Bloomington, IN

rhinosRhino’s was the place to be Monday night with  a thirteen dollar triple threat consisting of Chicago’s premiere Nintendo centric rock band, I Fight Dragons, Jacksonville Florida’s own dirty south punk band Whole Wheat Bread, and the nerdcore giant MC Chris!

We arrived at 7:30, the doors opened at 7:00, and the first band took the stage at 8:00, giving a good deal of time to meander around, check merch out and scope the local crowd. As eight approached, the stage was flooded with NES controllers, dance pads and a group of guys (and girls) wearing Justice League shirts. The group in question was I Fight Dragons, the Chicago based band with a pension for all things Nintendo and DC Comics. Continue reading

[Music Review] The Mars Volta “The Bedlam in Goliath”

Overview:

Most frequent Everyviewers may remember Clay’s review on the progressive rock band The Mars Volta’s newest album Octahedron. Well today, in the shadow of Halloween and with T.V. channels beginning their brutal rape of any and all things scary, I will be reviewing an album based on ghosts, Quija boards, and the afterlife. The album in question is the Volta’s fourth, and my personal favorite, The Bedlam in Goliath. Continue reading

[New Writer] Brandon Majors (No Relation to Andrew)

Alright Everyview, new writer on deck. My name is Brandon Majors (no relation to Andrew) and I am in no way related to Andrew. To the best of my knowledge anyway. I work at a cafeteria called MCL, which is pretty much the mecca of Terre Haute dining, albeit overpriced and offering basically the same foods displayed in different orders. I’m a freshman at Ivy Tech Community College for right now, but I’m hoping to be at IU next year. So there we have the two major time consumers in my life.

I think next on my introduction list should be “about me.” I’m a Scorpio, I love Punk music, long walks on the beach, and a girl who can cook a nice dinner… but seriously, I’m pretty simple. Punk and Ska music are my genre’s of choice, but I have a broad range when it comes to music. I skate when  I have the time, and I’m a big fan of Kustom Kulture (50’s and earlier cars, rockabilly music, pin-up’s and what have you). I like old cars, a lot. My current project is a ’68 mustang, but due to being poor and in college I have little time to work on it or do much of anything with it. I play a lot of them there vidya games, mostly Xbox 360, but I spend some quality time on the Wii when I have the chance.

That about sum’s things up for me, just a run of the mill Hautian who spends way to much time on the internet or on the trusty Xbox 360. Working with Everyview will hopefully give me a new hobby to pour massive amounts of time into, and most likely money, but I wont be writing any checks out just yet. (Sorry Zac!)
