![]() ![]() I knew immediately that Big Business was in good humor when I caught Jared Warren wandering to the play space in a tie-dyed Fleetwood Mac t-shirt and matching trucker cap. ![]() We waited for Big Business to get up and do their thing, chatting among ourselves and planning our next course of action following the conclusion of the show. I wandered outside and found my Fraggle along with a few other friends that had gathered around a looping projection of old horror movies. Their sound might have been more appealing about 10 years ago when they first came on the scene, but it struck me now as derivative and lacking innovation. I guess when you name your outfit after a French film exploring a familiar theme of misspent youth, you kind of set yourself up for a bit of boredom. Regrettably, I couldn’t say the same for the following supporting band, 400 Blows. Their nicely echoed vocals and impressive energy output with such limited instrumentation colored me impressed. The majority of us freaks, monsters, and general partygoers crowded in the gallery space and rooted on the very loud drum and bass duo as they buzzed through loosely-structured tempo shifts and drawn-out rhythmic explosions. ![]() The first band, Tweak Bird, got things moving. Note to partygoers: you’re only truly committed to Halloween when your costume requires you to shuffle sideways through a doorway. Two oversized pieces of bread, one backed by a girl dressed in purple (representing jelly) and the other supported by a dude dressed all in brown (representing peanut butter) awkwardly entered the gallery space hand-in-hand. A priest stood nearby chatting with a guy sporting a Devo getup, topped with that weird Lego-like cap they wore in the “Whip It” video. Inside, there were groups of white-faced ghouls huddled by a pit fire, laughing loudly and eating popcorn. Keith Richards probably never took such dutiful notes at a rock show. The girls wandered ahead as I retreated back to my car to retrieve a pen and yellow pad of paper on which I planned to take notes for this piece. We were out to have fun, dog shit be damned. We successfully parked, but it was disconcerting stepping out of my car dressed as Keith Richards, escorting a Fraggle and a flapper girl, in a questionable, poorly lit Los Angeles neighborhood only to get hit square in the olfactory zone with the overpowering smell of dog shit. The Big Business show, which happened to be in a gallery located on the same street where I purchased my wonderful piece of crap Hyundai about a year and a half ago. Emboldened by our appearance and general determination to celebrate, we met up with a gaggle of my girl’s closest buddies at their nearby apartment. If you don’t know what Red Fraggle is, you probably don’t know who Keith Richards is, so I won’t bother you with anything in the way of an explanation. Regardless, the two of us standing side by side looked admittedly outstanding. What did my lovely girl dress up as? A Fraggle. I studied Keith’s weird speech patterns via YouTube clips and listed to “Main Offender” from the time I rolled out of bed. I dressed as Keith Richards, complete with ’70s area accessories, a truly ridiculous wig held on my head with a long black bandana, and the requisite chest-barring dress shirt. What could be better than attending a costume-compulsive affair bolstered by a ballsy band like Big Business? Halloween, a day that offers up way more fun time than your modern day consumer Christmas, couldn’t disappoint. ![]() ![]() ![]() I would like to once again sincerely apologize for my offensive actions.īut Brandi has also experience happiness recently, as she welcomed her fourth child, daughter Brilynn, just days before making the announcement. 2020, when her mother-in-law was killed in a car accident that also involved her daughter Brinkely, who fortunately survived.Ī video resurfaced of me from three years ago which at the time I had posted and quickly deleted and then immediately apologized for my insensitivity.

Couple that dedication with the beautiful music they’re playing and audiences can’t help but appreciate the past and love the present when they hear Echoes of Pompeii do their thing. Today, Echoes of Pompeii is an 11-piece tribute band that lives, breathes and performs the music of one of Britain’s best arguably better than anyone else out there. Starting the band with just five members, Andrews also realized he’d need more musicians if he was going to match the incredible sound Floyd brought to their records. Starting out as a reliable cover at your local bar that that could play anything from U2 and Stix to (you guessed it) Pink Floyd, the band soon realized from the crowd reactions that focusing on the Floyd songs was something worth exploring. The duo quickly formed a trio with a nearby cousin and since Jason sang the best, they gave him lead vocals-a position he’s held ever since. Jeremy and his twin brother, Jason, began playing music together over 30 years ago, picking up bass and guitar, respectfully, at age 13. That sacred gift of understanding pain through art anchored him to a little-known album called The Wall and would go on to ignite a much larger passion for the band and music altogether. While his father didn’t pass away like Roger Waters’ did, Jeremy Andrews sympathized with the Brit’s lyrics after his parents divorced at a young age and Jeremy’s dad wasn’t always around. They helped him understand life, like only certain music (and art) can. ![]() It’s because Pink Floyd wasn’t just a great band to him. After speaking with band founder Jeremy Andrews, you also begin to understand why his Floyd tribute band is so damn good. When you see an EOP live performance or YouTube video, you immediately understand (and respect) the difference between a cover band and a tribute band. But if you come to Atwood Fest on Saturday, July 26, you’ll realize that most bands aren’t Echoes of Pompeii.

But Tisdale isn’t most celebrities-she’s a former child star, which makes her a seasoned veteran of BS, and the older she gets, the less she cares.

To many, such a society violated America’s fundamental principles and promises. Lincoln Steffens’s 1902 The Shame of the Cities, for example, demonstrated the graft dominating politics in American urban centers. A new class of muckraking journalists fed this outrage with stunning exposés of business exploitation and corruption of government officials. Even middle-class Americans became outraged as the gap widened between the working and middle ranks of society and wealthy capitalists smugly asserted their superiority. Economic growth occurred without regard to its costs to people, communities, or the environment. Farmers were at the mercy of railroad trusts, which set transport rates that squeezed already indebted rural residents. It was cheaper for manufacturers to let workers be injured or die than to improve safety-so they often did. Business owners didn’t mark high voltage wires, locked fire doors, and allowed toxic fumes to be emitted in factories. A new unskilled industrial laboring class, including a large pool of child labor, faced low wages, chronic unemployment, and on-the-job hazards. Cities, polluted and overcrowded, became breeding grounds for diseases like typhoid and cholera. Many negative consequences accompanied this change. Standard Oil, Nabisco, Kodak, General Electric, and Quaker Oats were among those companies and products to become familiar household words. Several factors made this achievement possible: unprecedented scale in manufacturing, technological innovation, a transportation revolution, ever-greater efficiency in production, the birth of the modern corporation, and the development of a host of new consumer products. By the turn of the century, American factories produced one-third of the world’s goods. ![]() These economic and social crises stemmed from the rise of industrial capitalism, which had transformed America between the Civil War and 1900. To increasing numbers of Americans, something seemed dreadfully wrong. Citizens even marched on Washington as workers unemployed in the depression of 1893–1894 formed "industrial armies" to demand relief. In the same period, cyclical economic downturns spawned massive protests, including marches by millions of largely rural farmers drawn into the populist movement. The great railroad strike of 1877 triggered armed confrontation the 1892 strike at Andrew Carnegie’s Homestead, Pennsylvania, steel plant included a bloody battle and just two years later, the strike at Pullman Palace Car Company brought Army troops into a violent clash with workers on the streets of Chicago on the Fourth of July. Armed conflict between workers and government and private militias broke out repeatedly. As the nineteenth century came to a close, just decades after the Civil War, many feared the nation faced another explosive and violent conflict, this time between the forces of industrial capitalism and militant workers. ![]() Progressivism arrived at a moment of crisis for the United States. ![]() |
