Devil Never Even Lived: An interview with DOPAPOD

In a musical sea of jam, funk and electronic bands, all clamoring their way through the festy and club circuit hoping for mainstream success, Dopapod stands out above the rest. The four-piece experimental funk group manages to blend all of the aforementioned genres and turn them into something exciting and original- not to mention their insanely energetic and wicked fun live shows. When you go to see Dopapod you know you're going to be dancing until your feet fall off. Formed four years … [Read more...]

Superball IX Review- better late than never!

I can’t believe it’s already been a week since Superball IX. The Phish festival, held over Fourth of July weekend in Watkins Glen, NY., was the ninth festy hosted by the jam band, but the first that I've ever attended. Initially, I was skeptical- could one band really keep me entertained for an entire weekend? No late-night music, multiple stages and headlining acts? Uhh... YUP. … [Read more...]

Strange Creek 2011: Same creek, different vibe.

What happens when the very quality that makes something so unique is the same quality that seemingly exploits it? When the "special thing" that sets something apart is the very same thing that allows it to gain popularity? I found myself pondering such quandaries during my time at Strange Creek Music Festival, held last weekend in Greenfield, Mass., as I frolicked among the hippies who also opted to spend their Memorial Day weekends dancing in a field eating grilled cheeses rather than … [Read more...]

Buntology’s 2011 Summer Festy Guide!!!

After enduring one of the longest and most brutal winters the east coast has seen in years, festival season is almost upon us!!! As much as we'd all like to kick off our shoes and enjoy every festy the summer has to offer, the reality is that with full-time jobs and bills to pay, most of us have to be a bit more selective about the ones we attend. Because of this, Buntology has enlisted the help of five expert panelists to offer their infinite wisdom and expertise on the subject, and to … [Read more...]

Enrique Iglesias is f*cking you tonight.

Clear your weekend schedule, pick up a fresh razor, and slather on your finest Bath & Body Works scented lotion- because tonight Enrique Iglesias is fucking you, whether you want it or not. What in God's name was Enrique's manager thinking when he gave him the go-ahead to record this song (very matter-of-factly titled, "Tonight (I'm Fucking You)")? Furthermore, what type of songwriter would even think to write something like this? (I think we can safely assume that E.I. isn't coming up … [Read more...]

Woke up at 3 a.m. with that Gladys Knight & the Pips song on…

For as long as I've been a fan of The Dismemberment Plan (since '05 during my college radio stint), I've lived with the sad reality that the D.C.-based band was defunct. So when I stumbled upon east coast tour dates, specifically a January 30 performance at NYC's Webster Theatre, I nearly shat myself. Instead, I snatched up two tickets faster than you can say, "THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN IS BACK TOGETHER?!?!?!?" … [Read more...]

Live-blogging the 2010 VMAs despite the fact that I hate MTV

Nateva Feva- or maybe it’s just a sunburn.

It's hard not to write a review about Nateva Festival without comparing it to Rothbury. Which really isn't fair to Nateva- after all, the festival- which was held last weekend in Oxford, Maine- is much smaller, less expensive, and located in a completely different geographic location than it's Michigan predecessor. But when you step in as the replacement for one of last year's most talked about festies, especially when it's held on Fourth of July weekend, you should be prepared to step into … [Read more...]

The Neil and Angela Show… the lost episode

Last month, Buntologists Angela and Neil had the bright idea to add a music news video segment to the website's repertoire.  That footage never saw the light of day... until now. … [Read more...]
