Nowadays musicians are mostly annoyed, annoying, or cheating on their partners (except Beyoncé and Paul Dempsey); less art - more ‘being kewl’ and ‘making bank’.
But perhaps it’s not their fault. Maybe they’re a product of their environment. Human iPod, cultural satirist, and music journo Al Newstead is a product of his, and he’s ready to blow the whistle/drop the bass on the industry's absurdities once more.
Returning for a third outing after two critically acclaimed shows, Al now shares his all-singing, all-stand-upping brand of comedy edutainment with a mysterious co-conspirator. The Oates to his Hall or the Yoko to his Lennon?
Anna O'Bryan makes Al's Music Rant 100% more female, which is an oppressive way of saying she's going to bring as much wisdom and wizardry where it is (sorely) lacking.
One thing's certain: intelligent wit and knowledgeable silliness in a multimedia experience that’ll have you rethink your stance on popular music.
