A few weeks ago, Philadelphia-based indie artist Greg Mendez sat down for a brief conversation with WIUX following a live session on 99.1. Before performing at The Bishop Bar for the second time on February 28th, Mendez chatted with us about the beginning of his music career, his newest release, the end of his tour, and his future plans.
On a crisp fall evening last October, Hannah Frances played solo to a crowd at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. She walked briskly across the stage as the lights illuminated her smile and her monochromatic outfit. Her voice and big electric guitar quickly filled the room. It didn’t take much for her to captivate this eager audience.
Thursday night was the 2024 Pledge Drive Battle of the Bands, a donation-based competition to see who will get to open next spring's Culture Shock. Karl and I snagged each of the bands who performed at this year's Battle of the Bands for a quick little interview.
Indianapolis-based alternative punk band Callejera made their 2024 Culture Shock debut, playing an intense, blistering set with songs off their latest EP, GUTTING. I got a chance to sit down with them after their set to talk about their origins as a band, their latest EP, and growing in the Indy scene.
Every track on this album gives off a warm, endearing feeling, like a close friend telling you a story.
