This week's Spotlight focuses on the Austin, Texas-based rock band White Denim, which is scheduled to play Club Congress Saturday.
White Denim's lead singer is James Petralli, whose father is former major league catcher Geno Petralli.
Geno Petralli played 12 seasons for the Rangers and Blue Jays.
Petralli led all of baseball in passed balls with 35 in 1987, 20 in 1988, and 20 in 1990. His 35 passed balls established a Major League single-season record.
Most of Petralli's past balls occurred when he was catching a famous knuckleball pitcher.
For a chance to win an audio book tell us the name of that knuckleballer, who pitched until he was 46 years old.
Dan "Contradiction" Shapiro is a freelance scrivener and subscriber to feuilletonistic publishings. His musical experience is limited to singing in his high school choir and having the largest collection of instrumental post-rock music in the world. Go figure.
I’ve had a good run at Tucson’s entertainment Web site Nightbuzz.com and I would like to take this opportunity to thank my editors Jaynelle Ramon and Scot Skinner and my dedicated readers who have followed my reviews/previews/interviews for the past three years.
Starting in 2004, Sic Alps are a San Francisco-based rock ‘n’ roll band that makes traditional ’60s fuzz bands from the psyched-out Bay Area seem crystal clear. Or perhaps it’s more of a reflection of what was then; something that came from the garage, but ended up in the noisy city.
As you may or may not know already, Mix-Tape Club is a collective of Tucson’s musical elite, which, on Saturday nights, works toward varying agendum concerning trending musical inspirations. This particular inspiration was “Best Songs of 2009” and with the help of Casey Dewey, Dan Hernandez, Laura Wilson Etter, Micah Etter, Shaun Pope, Alyssa Hoyt, Paul Jenkins, Charles Engebretson and me, we set out to democratically elect the best songs of 2009. (I didn’t mention the members who only voted. Sorry. My bad. Songs in order of percentage of votes.)
In the forefront of Tucson’s synth-based, industrial dance music scene is the mustachioed three-piece Alter Der Ruine, who have attracted an underground following ever since their debut album The Ruine Process in 2006. ADR’s mastery of both muscular beats and humorous dance moves makes their power noise both sleazy and serious.
Below, New York City’s urban folk, anti-folk music hero John Houx answers some questions concerning his past dealings with folk music, his current ‘Green’ tour, and his upcoming show in the Lounge at Plush this Sunday, Dec. 13.
