So the WRock scene has been seeing a little drama over the past couple of days. Luckily, it looks like it may(?) be cooling off, so it is a perfect time to chime in with my thoughts and throw a few logs on a dyeing fire.
For those not playing along at home, here’s the [...]

Devin, of the WRock group The Owl Post, has a new project called Be Safe Bella. The project isn’t a WRock group, but it also isn’t a traditional “muggle” rock group either. Instead the project is inspired by the YA book series The Twilight Saga. It is a little early to say [...]

So last weekend saw two major events happening in the WRock world, one here in the US and the other across the ocean in England. Thanks to the wonders of YouTube, we’ve got video from both.
Let’s start with the US.
The event was WRockstock, held just outside St Louis, MI in the Ozark Mountains. [...]

So, last month I dropped a couple of hints about a top secret project that I’ve been working on. Well, today’s the day of the grand unveiling.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Geeks of all fandoms.
I give you…
Stop Standing Still!!!
For those that may be curious, Stop Standing Still is a site that I’ve set [...]

Several weeks ago Z pointed Church and I to an article over at Something Awful, titled The 8 Most Awful Minorities. Specifically, this page which talks about nerdcore.

So the WRock world is a giant ball of squee today as twenty four WRock bands simultaneously announced their involvement in WRock Chicago, possibly the biggest WRock show to take place so far.
Since Brian, from Draco and the Malfoys, has taken on the thankless job of helping to organize this undertaking, I’ll give them the [...]

The Pedia folks broke the story that a new WRock fest is in the works. And the best part is that it looks like it’ll be local for me! (i.e. general mid-atlantic area)
The name of the fest is Magus and it is being organized by Anna of The Grey Ladies, Grace of Snidget, and [...]

So a little while ago I did a run of posts talking about Wizard Rock groups that had some serious potential. Thanks to Squib Girl I’ve found another, Riddle(TM).
I could sit here and go on and on about the talent to be found in this piano based singer/songwriter duo. I could talk about [...]

Well, Church was able to squeeze another video from the WRock show in Vienna, VA a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like there may be one or two more. I’ll post if they pop up.

I just updated my write up, but in case you missed it. Here is some video that Church shot at the show this weekend.
