Van the Man concert report from Keith: "Awesome!!! He actually talked to the audience (about 6 words, but....). And the set was great - the crowd was into it. Great band - and he played for one hour FORTY minutes!!!!" - Eric Danton's (Hartford Courant) review

Call from Johnny Gumbo meeting up with the Pool Hall Studs in the Windy City for the weekend. The Studs are in town to try out new material for their side project, Cool2Guyz:

Spawned in the outsized egos of the Pool Halls Studs after their surprising success, Cool2Guyz ruptured onto the techno scene in 2008 with their debut album, If We're Cool, There's Hope 4U. The band's latest album, Pool Is a Losing Game, blends Smarky's chilling vocals with D-Po's crashing drums to cook up a record brimming with sludgy anthems. With standout tracks like Wannabe Will Farrell When I Get Funny, the music of Cool2Guyz appeals to techno fans and non-techno fans alike. - (Rolling Stone)
