As the old adage says, “preparation meets opportunity” is
often the path to success in the music world. However, a little luck
doesn’t hurt, either. When you talk about the career of Ryan Bingham,
all of the above is true.

After well over a quarter century, Lil Ed and the Blues
Imperials are now seasoned veterans but they still spit and snarl with
unbridled energy, tossing off blistering slide guitar runs and
red-meat-raw riffage with the same intensity that marked their fake
moustache days.

In this age of disposable music and equally ephemeral
careers, longevity of any kind should be celebrated. And Lee Fields
should be the grand marshal of that parade.

In 1998, Weiland began his solo run with 12 Bar Blues followed a decade later by the stylistically diverse “Happy” in Galoshes and then two albums in 2011, A Compilation of Scott Weiland Covers (which he described as his version of David Bowie’s Pin-Ups) and the holiday themed The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, which now appear to be the final two missives in Weiland’s solo catalog.

Group teams up again to raise funds for attack victim, Danny O'Keefe
In May of 2011, a man broke into the home of Butler County Assistant Prosecutor Kelly O’Keefe in Fairfield and brutally attacked her. When her brother, Danny O'Keefe, came to her aid, he was also attacked, beaten and stabbed. Miraculously, both siblings survived the attack. The man responsible was caught and sentenced to 21 years in prison. But the O'Keefe family's lives will never be the same. While Kelly has physically recuperated from the attack, Danny, according to an open letter from his mother, Kathy, has a long road of therapy and recovery ahead of him. The mother of Danny, who was stabbed in the brain 19 times during the attack, writes, "Danny has Anthem insurance. They pay for 30 therapies a year. We got him on Medicaid, and they pay for 20 a year. Mercy Hospital is helping, but only for three therapies a week. We're told for Danny to get better he needs more, closer to 9 therapy sessions each week. He takes Speech, Occupational, and Physical therapy 3 times each week now. We're to send him to the University of Michigan UMAP program for speech. It's around $27,000 for 4-5 weeks of therapy, and his insurance doesn't pay for this. His doctors and therapists say he could need to go several times. Room and board for Danny and his caregiver (his dad will go with him) is not included in the cost. Neither is the cost of the other ongoing two therapies, physical and occupational."The family has set up a website (where you can read about the harrowing attack and the siblings' recovery) and fund for people to donate here. This Saturday night at Bocca Billiards in Milford, three of Danny O'Keefe's cousins will reunite their local Thrash Metal band Azygous for one night only to perform at a benefit concert for O'Keefe's mounting medical bills. The benefit will feature a strong lineup of local metallers, as well as raffle items from the show's various sponsors. Here are the set times:11:30 p.m.-12 a.m. Azygous11:00-11:30 p.m. Eyes On Tomorrow 10:15-10:45 p.m. Red Soul Rising9:30-10 p.m. Specyphi8:45-9:15 p.m. Soul Rot8:00-8:30 p.m. Sinful Crow7:15-7:45 p.m. Escape The Silence6:30-7 p.m. One Shot Solution 5:45-6:15 p.m. OsiriaClick here for more on the event, which is open to all ages.

Night Moves took the reverse Radiohead route in getting its full-length debut, Colored Emotions,
a proper release. The Minneapolis trio streamed
its self-produced album for free on Bandcamp, eventually drawing notice
from the peeps at Domino Records, who released a “refurbished” version
of the album last fall.

The Whigs specialize in earnest, guitar-driven nuggets that
recall both their hometown’s jangle-laden roots and a variety of
old-school heavy-hitters, from Neil Young to The Replacements. Hey,
sometimes good taste and a rousing live show is more than enough.
