Thunderpussy 3.17.23

The Cabot Beverly, MA Words & Photos by Arlene Brown (BrownFotoBug)

Bringing all the luck and love to the Boston masses, Thunderpussy definitely showed their love of rocking a stage to the 2,500 in attendance on Saint Patrick’s Day in Boston. Touring with Jerry Cantrell and crew, Thunderpussy introduced themselves to new fans in the only way Thunderpussy knows: bold, loud, and absolutely rocking beauty. Thunderpussy is a fierce Seattle band fronted by the stunning Molly Sides. She and guitarist Whitney Petty (who also plays drums and bass) started the band in 2014 and were quickly joined by bassist M’Leah Julius (and yes, she also plays drums!). Lindsey Elias is the one that actually plays drums and is the newest member to the party and joined in 2019. Don’t let their sparkle and flash fool you. They are WAY more than just sequins. These ladies are amazing musicians and performers. Technically trained musicians and dancers, Molly, Whitney, M’Leah, and Lindsey will soothe you with a wicked cover of Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love” and then turn your body into complete goosebumps with "Fever", "Speedqueen", "Velvet Noose", "Thunderpussy." At The Cabot, they gave us a sneak peak into their new album with their first release, "Firebreather." Molly’s voice is so pure, rich, and makes your insides just melt. Their third album, Firebreather is set to be released later this year, and follows their first two albums: Milk It and Thunderpussy. If it’s anything like the first two, it’s going to melt your ears with power and grace. Thunderpussy will continue their tour with Jerry Cantrell ending in Tacoma on April 1st. Look for more tour announcements very soon! Bumbershoot Music Festival in Seattle just announced their lineup for Labor Day Weekend and Thunderpussy will definitely be there! If you’ve never seen them live, you definitely want to check them out. Arlene's Photo Gallery www.thunderpussyusa.com

Livetronica Sampler 3.22.11

Words by Greg Molitor ( ReMIND Photography ) Ozric Tentacles This British group has proven innovative throughout the years offering a space-rock meets psytrance sound that remains alive to this day. Though never having a major record label, Ozric Tentacles has produced 28 albums of diverse psychedelia throughout its career. The band met at the Stonehenge Free Festival in 1983 and truly fathered livetronica music with its use of sequencers and synthesizers. Simply put, there would be no livetronica without Ozric Tentacles. www.ozrics.com Octopus Nebula Colorado’s Octopus Nebula has certainly hit its stride as of late with its constant touring and increased festival interest. The group expands on the deep sounds of highly regarded acts such as STS9 and Shpongle but also carves a path of its own with its fresh takes on synthesizer tones and sampling in the live setting. Octopus Nebula Live at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom on March 26, 2010. <--- Direct Archive Link www.octopus

Buckethead: Gimmick or Guitar God?

Words & Photos By Nicholas Stock ( phatphlogblog.blogspot.com ) At what point does the gimmick overshadow the performance? The obvious answer is Buckethead. The man is an amazing guitarist but something is not right in this world. The idea a performer who dons a KFC chicken bucket on his head for a concert has always intrigued me, and some of his side projects such as Colonel Claypool’s Bernie Bucket of Brains have been huge successes. However his performance last weekend in Fort Collins simply left me perplexed. From his robotic dancing, to his nunchuck display, to the fact the he performed with an iPod rather than a band all added to my confusion. Going into the show I was ready to be blown away, despite rumblings of disgruntled fans from the previous night’s show at The Gothic. Buckethead had had some sound issues and some missed cues in Denver but I was still trying to be positive for the show in Fort Collins. It did go off without a hitch technically but that was the least

The Origin of MusicMarauders

Words By J-man "What should I name this fucking thing?" I asked myself in the midst of a joint in my Upstate, NY apartment. "It's got to be something with just 'Music'in the title. Nothing more specific than that, as we'll be covering a wide variety of genres." One more drag on the joint yielded the memory of driving down Woodward Ave. in Detroit, listening to Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders. "MusicMarauders! That's it... It completely encompasses what we do in the sense the we are 'maraudering' or 'pillaging' for music," I thought as I stared out of the window at about three and a half feet of fresh Upstate snow. First things first, the domain had to be registered. "Do I have ten dollars in my account?" I thought to myself from a position of just scraping by. Pulling out my shiny, rarely used debit card, I put it to the test and was able to secure MusicMarauders.com. "What's next?" I
