Behind The Curtain... and Into Arcadia

[this article was originally published for Suburban Bully, May 27th, 2010]
Into Arcadia won’t be playing the show they had scheduled this Saturday due to a booking mistake/scheduling conflict. The name of the venue they were slated to perform at will remain unnamed here, however, due to the fact that I’m holding a grudge against the place’s owner for not responding to an e-mail I sent him regarding some other business I’d like to discuss - yeah, that’s how childish I am.

Crash Test Dummies Wow with 'Oooh La La'

[This article was originally published May 15, 2010 for Suburban Bully]
It’s been 6 years since Crash Test Dummies’ last effort, Songs Of The Unforgiven, and seventeen years since their 90’s salad days, brought on mostly by their hit single “Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm” (one of few top 40 song in American history to contain no vowels in its title). Though the fame and dynamic of the band has changed drastically over the almost two decades since anybody really paid them any mind, the Crash Test Dummies still have a lot to say, and in an ever-changing representation.
