Every week here at the Rising Tide we are working to provide you the best in local music programming, as well as the focal point of spotlighting a different independent artist live in the studio each and every week. This week we have two such artists. First off, let me introduce you to The Groggs. This…
Nostalgia = brutal.
By Intro to Radio Instuctor | Published November 30th, 2010When I was twelve years old, I couldn’t help but be disappointed. The reason was not because I had just moved to a new area, nor because I hadn’t received my acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, nor because I was a chubby, awkward, redheaded girl who was in middle school. No, it was…

Furniture-weaving/tape-recording his way to a club near you
By Music Director | Published July 28th, 2010Have you ever drifted asleep at the bottom of a dried up well, but when you woke up you realized that you’d actually been floating on a crude bamboo raft on a murky urban river, the bends and bows of which had deposited you on the beer-sticky parquet floor of the dive-est night club in…
KZSC Welcomes Pocahaunted – Be Ready!
By Music Director | Published July 25th, 2010Bethany and Amanda comprise Pocahaunted. They look so happy – kinda like The Carpenters (if Richard was a girl and who knows) – however most of Pocahaunted’s music is buried in a murkier, ambient sort of dark primitive experimental sound. Bethany describes it as, “Talking Heads meets Cocteau Twins thrown into a blender after smoking…

If you ain’t gonna to catch ‘em on this go around, big ugly yellow couch…

Finally, after four years, countless scrapped songs, and a near dissolution of the band, we can go on more…
