As one of our fearless TA leaders (company president Iain Bluett) once said, “As smart phone use increases, and you do more and more on your phone, it becomes the single most important device you own. The obvious progression from just listening to music is browsing upcoming concerts and buying tickets to them.” And so we [...]

America’s (or Egypt’s) most funky funk band, no one gets a crowd moving and shaking like Here Come The Mummies (HCTM).

There’s little doubt that Marnie Stern lives up to her reputation as “the lady who shreds,” but for Marnie, shredding is not enough. After putting out three critically-acclaimed albums, Marnie could have gotten away with putting out another album filled with her richly layered sound, singular frenetic finger tapping and almost philosophical lyrics. However, as [...]
