[From the Ithaca Times] Anyone familiar with the history of the American underground of music, culture and politics will know the band Fugazi and the record label Dischord. Since 1987, the quartet has released a string of inimitable, groundbreaking records — all released by Dischord — and helped refine and strengthen philosophical concepts of Straight […]

Unfortunately, I had to miss No Fun this year. Especially hard, given the fact that I just couldn’t shut up about it last year. But from the little snooping around I’ve done, I’ve heard raves about the Sickness and Astro sets on Friday. What else was good this weekend??? And if you took photos, send […]

We recently interviewed local singer-songwriter Kathy Ziegler, who will perform her final concert tonight at the Morgan Opera House before she leaves for the Netherlands with her family. From the story:

Aaron reported back that the night was absolutely magical, and we don’t doubt him one bit.

Dear Natasha,
I was thrilled to read your profile of me in the Ithaca Times. Your questions were so on target.  Little did I realize that an evening of storytelling at Cornell would be one of the highlights of my extended theatrical career. That you took an interest […]

Eat your heart out..

..cause I am totally going to this. Yep. Full lineup here. It’s going to be a long four months.

The Sub-Atomic at The Haunt

Olivia here. Sorry it has been awhile, but I promise to start writing more soon. In the meantime, check out the new band The Sub-Atomic at The Haunt this Thursday, May 9th at 9 p.m. Lead by Ithaca sophomore Harry Nichols, the band sounds like a mix of the Arctic Monkeys and the White Stripes. […]
