Dear Congress: NIVA ​|​National Independent ​Dear Congress: We, the undersigned artists, respectfully submit this letter in support of NIVA’s request for federal assistance for independent music venues and promoters across the United States. We will know America is “back” when our music venues are filled with fans enjoying concerts safely. The live music experience is inextricably tied to our nation’s cultural and economic fabric. In fact, 53% of Americans – that’s 172 million of us – attended a concert last year. We urge you to remember we are the nation that gave the world jazz, country, rock & roll, bluegrass, hip hop, metal, blues, and R&B. Entertainment is America's largest economic export, with songs written and produced by American artists sung in every place on the globe. All of these genres of music, and the artists behind them, were able to thrive because they had neighborhood independent venues to play in and hone their craft, build an audience, and grow into the entertainers that bring joy to millions. Independent venues give artists their start, often as the first stage most of us have played on. These venues were the first to close and will be the last to reopen. With zero revenue and the overwhelming overhead of rent, mortgage, utilities, taxes and insurance, ​90% of independent venues report that if the shutdown lasts six months and there’s no federal assistance, they will never reopen again. We are asking you to support NIVA’s request for assistance so these beloved venues can reopen when it’s safe and welcome us and our fans back in. The collapse of this crucial element in the music industry’s ecosystem would be devastating. Independent venues are asking for an investment to secure their future, not a handout. One Chicago report found that every dollar small venues generate in ticket sales results in $12 of economic activity. If these independent venues close forever, cities and towns across America will not only lose their cultural and entertainment hearts, but they will lose the engine that would otherwise be a driver of economic renewal for all the businesses that surround them. With respect and solidarity, we, as artists and as community members ourselves, urge you to pass federal legislation that will help #SaveOurStages. Sincerely, NIVA | National Independent Venue Association nivassoc.org ​ ​ Adam Conover The Baylor Project Cailin Russo Adam Lee Miller Bayonet Records Caitlyn Smith Adeline Be//gotten Calexico Adolescents The Beach Boys Can't Swim Afterlife Beach Bunny Cannibal Corpse The Agonist Beach House Carly Rae Jepsen Ahmed Gallab Beartooth Carly Simon Aidan Alexander Being As An Ocean Carmen Vandenberg Alabama Shakes Ben Whiteley Carol Burnett Alan Parsons Benjamin Ruttner Carole King Alex Greenwald Benjamin Scheuer Cass McCombs Alex Hall Bi TYRANT Cat Coore Alex Mali Biffy Clyro Caylee Hammack Alexa Mansour Big Gigantic Chaos in The CBD Algebra Blessett Big Wild Chapel Alice Cooper Bill Bellamy Charlene Kaye Alison Mosshart (The Kills) Billie Eilish Chelsea Grin Alison Wonderland Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) Cher The Almost Billy Joel Chris Aiken Alpha Wolf Billy Porter Chris Erickson Alter Bridge Billy Squier Chris Shiflett Amanda Anne Platt The Black Dahlia Murder Chris Smither The Amazing Kreskin The Black Keys Chris Stapleton Aminé Black Stone Cherry Christopher Owens The Amours Black Violin Christopher Paul Stelling Amy Schumer Blue Oyster Cult Christopher Titus Ana Popović BLUEOX Chuck Prophet Andre Benjamin Bob Corritore Cindy Cashdollar Andrea Ricci Bob Weir (Grateful Dead) Citizen Andrew Kyne Bonnie Raitt Citizen Fish Andrew Laubacher Born Of Osiris The Claudettes Andrew Savage (Parquet Boy Named Banjo Colin Farrell Courts Bradd Marquis Con Brio Andy Cabic Brady Blade Conor Oberst Angela Johnson Brandi Carlile The Contortionist Angelica Garcia Breakup Shoes Control Top Anna St. Louis Brett Dennen Cordovas Annie Hart Brian Owens Corey Laitman The Aquabats Britt Daniel (Spoon) Counterparts Armand Majidi Brittany Anjou Craig Setari ARTHUR Brittany Howard (Alabama Crown The Empire Arthur Moon Shakes) Cryogeyser Ash Costello Britton Walker Culture Shock Ashlee Simpson Broadside Currents August Burns Red Broken Social Scene Cursive Ayron Jones Brothers Osborne Cyanca BAILEN The Cadillac Three The Cybertronic Spree The Ballroom Thieves Cahalen Morrison Cyndi Lauper Dack Janiels Duckwrth George Lopez Damian Marley Duncan Shiek George Winston The Damned Dylan Slocum (Spanish Love Gin Blossoms Dan Smith Songs) Gina Volpe Dan Whitney (Larry the The Early November Gio Benedetti Cable Guy) Earth, Wind, and Fire Giraffage Dance Gavin Dance Eclair Fifi Glitterer Daniel Norgren Edie Brickell The Good Life Daniela Bojorges Eilen Jewell Good Riddance Darius Koski Eli Maiman Goose Darkest Hour Elizabeth Penta Graham Nash Darlingside Ellie Goodman Grayscale Daryl Hall (Hall & Oates) Emancipator Greg Humphreys Dave Alvin Emmure GRiZ Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) Enda Scahill Guccihighwaters Dave Mason Entheos GWAR David Byrne (Talking Heads) Eric Andre The Halestorm David Copperfield Eric Roberson Harvey Mason Jr. David Crosby Evan Ross Havok David Gray Eve 6 Hayes Carll David Letterman Exodus Hex Cougar David Ryan Harris The Faim Highly Suspect David West Fastball The HillBenders Dean Wareham Faye Webster HONNE The Dear Hunter Fayuca Hopesfall Deb Never Fit For A King Hot Water Music Debi Nova Flatbush Zombies Hovvdy Deep Sea Diver The Flesh Eaters I Prevail Deer Tick Flying Buffaloes Ian Fowles Dehd The Format Ian MacKaye (Fugazi) Demon Hunter Foster The People Ian Roberts Deon Cole Foxing Ilana Glazer Dermot Kennedy Frank Turner Iliza Shlesinger Derrick Donaldson Frank Vicario Intervals Deva Mahal Frankie Cosmos Jack Antonoff The Devil Wears Prada Freddy Cricien (Madball) Jacob Kiley DIIV Frederic Yonnet James Mercer (The Shins) Dinosaur Pile-Up Free Throw James Rouse DJ Beauty and the Beatz FRENSHIP Jamie Kennedy Don McLean The Frights Jason Isbell Donnell Rawlings Fu Manchu Jason Schwartzman Donnie Shaw Fur Coat (Coconut Records) Doug Benson Gang Gang Dance Jay Leno Doyle Bramhall II Gareth Emery Jay Mohr Dragged Under Gary Clark, Jr. Jay Som Drive-By Truckers Gatecreeper Jed Hilly (Americana Music Drug Church Gentle Temper Association) Duane Lauginiger George Clanton Jeff Cook (Alabama) Jeff Tweedy Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) Lucie Silvas Jeremiah Fraites (The Kassian Lucinda Williams Lumineers) Katey Sagal Lucy Dacus Jerry Seinfeld Kathryn Crutchfield Lucy Woodward Jesse Malin (Waxahatchee) Luka Kuplowsky Jesse McCartney Kaye Lund Jessie Mueller Kelly Zutrau The Machine Jessy Wilson Kelow LaTesha Macklemore Jewel Kendoll Madeline Follin Jim Adkins Kenny Wayne Shepherd Madison Beer Jimbo Mathus Kesha Madison Cunningham Jimi PrimeTime Smith Kevin Phillips Maggie Rogers Jimmy Buffett Kevin Ross Maggie Rose Jimmy Eat World Kevin Seconds Maimouna Youssef Joan Baez Khemmis The Maine Joe Hottinger Kill The Lights Makonnen John Bonnel Kim Gordon Mandolin Orange John Cafferty & the Beaver Kingsmen Mandy Moore Brown Band Kitchen Dwellers Mara Connor John Jorgenson Kublai Khan TX Marco Benevento John Lee Kurt Vile Marcus Machado John Mayer Kvelertak Marcus Stephens John Mellencamp La Santa Cecilia Margo Price John P.

  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

In order to understand the correlation between genre and form more thoroughly, this paper provides a taxonomic approach to through-composition in several post-millennial experimental rock genres including post-rock, math-metal, art rock, and neo-prog.

  • Jude the Obscure Official Biography
    Jude the Obscure Official Biography Jude the Obscure, circa 2003 Jude the Obscure had a very comfortable place in the Ontario math-core/noisecore scene throughout its existence. I believe they were the first to be called “chaoticore”. Prior to the forming of this band, Grant Freifeld (“Fuzz” on bass), Jason Rice (“Jaundice” on drums) and Chuck Leach (“the Bank”/”Bankenstein” on guitar) played together in a slew of Grimsby, Ontario high school bands, often changing name every few months. When in 1998 they decided to go “heavier”, they asked a guy in their high school who was wearing a Snapcase shirt if he wanted to to be their signer; that was James Long (“Jimbo”). With Jimbo in, Jude the Obscure was born. The final addition was one of Jason’s coworker, Jordan Passfield who was brought in as an experimental guitar player. “A New Life of Painful Sin” demo, 1999 “A New Life of Painful Sin” demo, 1999 Their first show was a house show with Rise Over Run. In 1999 they recorded 3 songs at Scott Bialik’s small basement studio, soundDOME Studio, in Hamilton, live right off the floor. Jude self-released it as their first demo “A New Life of Painful Sin”. Everyone who ever talks about this demo doesn’t speak of it nicely. Nevertheless it is a good representation of what early 2000 metalcore was like. Poster advertising “A Perfect Place” on Punx Without Mohawx Records Their high school friends, Rise Over Run, had gotten signed to the Quebec label Punx Without Mohawx Records, so Jude sent them their demo as well.

  • Sum 41 Alive
    SSUMUM 4411 AALIVELIVE IS SCREAMO B.S.? FLORIA’S FUEL IAN BLURTON~MINISTRY~THE TEA PARTY~WILDHEARTS CLAIRE STANSFIELD~MOONEY SUZUKI~DFA 1979 THE JERRY CAN The summer is the season of rock. Tours roll across the coun- try like mobile homes in a Florida hurricane. The most memo- rable for this magazine/bar owner were the Warped Tour and Wakestock, where such bands as Bad Religion, Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Closet Monster, The Trews and Crowned King had audiences in mosh-pit frenzies. At Wakestock, in Wasaga Beach, Ont., Gasoline, Fox Racing, and Bluenotes rocked so hard at their two-day private cottage party that local authorities shut down the stage after Magneta Lane and Flashlight Brown. Poor Moneen didn't get to crush the eardrums of the drunken revellers. That was day one! Day two was an even bigger party with the live music again shut down. The Reason, Moneen and Crowned King owned the patio until Alexisonfire and their crew rolled into party. Gasoline would also like to thank Chuck (see cover story) and other UN officials for making sure that the boys in Sum41 made it back to the Bovine for another cocktail, despite the nearby mortar and gunfire during their Warchild excursion. Nice job.
