Black Clouds and Silver Lining
It’s out. I have been waiting for it since the day I heard of its upcoming release. After seeing them in concert last year I couldn’t get enough. Dream Theater is the band with the technical expertise and the know how to write some of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. Their new CD entitled, ‘Black Clouds and Silver Lining‘ does not disappoint in any way. (more…)
Hello world!
My name is Daniel, and I am your friendly KZSC Electronic Music (RPM) Director for the year! I may not be the most experienced genre director this year, but I’m going to try my damndest; I’m happy to be here and even more than happy to be producing for the blog (and my shows, of course). Every week I’m going to create a small write up about the new CDs coming into the RPM department so you, the esteemed (and technologically savvy) listener, can know what to expect from our musical universe, and whats current in a musical genre that really doesn’t get that much public attention!
For those of you lucky enough to be romping around Santa Cruz for the summer, there are some great live music shows popping up all over the place. Here at KZSC we’ll try to keep you updated on any music events that you really should be attending.
SHOWS! You love them, we love them. Come out, feel good, support your local music scene. Out of these three shows, there’s something for everyone (catch me at the sweetest one on the list). Need more info? Email music@kzsc.org
