Buffalo-based indie singer-songwriter Marina Laurendi has released a stunning music video for the track “Stay Mine,” off of her EP of the same name that came out in August.
Marina Laurendi is a singer/songwriter and musician, originally from the Western New York area. She started performing as an actress, singer, and dancer at a young age. Her career in musical theater led her to NYC, where she performed around the East Coast and Off-Broadway. Her music takes influence from the pulse of the NYC scene and the calmness of her Western NY upbringing.
Since the release of her EP, she has garnered over 10,000 streams on Spotify, and she was recently a quarter-finalist in this year’s competition to open at the Hollywood Bowl. When talking about the track and accompanying video, Laurendi said it is about the longing to have beautiful shared experiences with someone that matches your personality.
I had this sense of restlessness when I was writing it like I was just dying to start filling my life with these crazy adventures that make you feel like you can be forever young and I think that translated into the song. When we’re performing it, I always visualize it like a scrapbook of amazing memories so with the video, Luke Haag, our director/videographer, really helped me hone in on the best way to convey that. The whole thing is snapshots of this relationship where we really see the good, bad, and the ugly. It’s a healthy mix of reality and this pipe dream of what could be.

The music video shows an intimate portrait of the highs and lows of a relationship. It matches the song’s build-up, as the passion between the couple is met with growing tension and a darker side of the love is revealed. The song focuses on these perfect imperfections as Laurendi sings the opening line, “you’re my favorite headache.” An interesting part of the video is that some of the scenes were shot at multiple locations around Buffalo and the Niagara Falls area. Laurendi also channels old Hollywood and the sounds of Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers throughout.
Marina Laurendi showcases that she is here to make a splash in the industry and become the next star. She recently has performed at places like The Bitter End in NYC, Hard Rock Cafe in Niagara Falls, Nietzsche’s and Ironworks Buffalo, just to name a few.

A Boogie wit da Hoodie is back with his fourth studio album, Me vs. Myself. The Bronx native’s newest project comes almost two-years after his last studio album, the platinum selling Artist 2.0, and nearly a year to the day of his 2021 EP, B4 AVA.
Correspondingly, Me vs. Myself arrives after being pushed back from its original November 4 release date to avoid competing for sales with Drake and 21 Savages, Her Loss.
In an instagram story post, A Boogie announced the album’s delay. Posting, “Sorry but Album dropping in December now, Drake was dropping same day and I’m not with that #HOODIESZN,” he wrote with a series of laughing emojis.
The 21-track project features heavy hitters from the hip hop and r&b world. Having recruited the likes of Lil Durk, Tory Lanez, G-Herbo, Roddy Ricch and Don Q. Additionally, the previously released single “Playa” with H.E.R. is included as a bonus track. In the same fashion, his Kodak Black collab “Water (Drowning Pt.2)” was released as a single. A sequel to his 2017 smash hit “Drowning,” A Boogie will look to replicate the success of the record which spent nearly 30 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and went 7X platinum.
Me vs. Myself is an important project for A Boogie’s current status in the game. While he remains one of the most streamed artists in the world, his reputation for delivering good albums has waned. With the emergence of the drill scene, A Boogie must remind fans that he remains a heavy hitter.
In an interview with Hip Hop Dx, the “Still Think About You” rapper revealed his goals for his upcoming drops.
“I’m definitely one of those top guys now,” A Boogie assured.
I’m not where I want to be yet, but you already know what I’m going for. Number one, and we’re not settling for anything less. I used to settle for less because I never had that goal to look all the way up there, but now that we looking up there, it’s looking scary for a lot of people.
New York-based producer and lo-fi sensation Chris Mazuera shares his latest album Let’s Take A Trip. The multi-instrumentalist released six singles leading up to the project, which received adds to Spotify’s chill lofi study beatsplaylist and Apple Music editorials such as “SLEEP” and “LoFi Jazz – Global.”
Mazuera is most known for his collaborative work, but Let’s Take a Trip is a solo album which is perfect for a chill relaxing study session. This project not only highlights his guitar skills, but also his beat making abilities, ranging from old-school boom-bap to more melodic, and guitar-driven jazz-hop.
“The album represents to me the musical growth that I’ve had,” says Mazuera, “more specifically in the last two years. I’ve learned better how to mold together all my different influences into a sound that’s more uniquely mine.”
From rock bands to lofi inspired hip-hop, Chris Mazuera has dabbled in a bit of everything and it brings out his unique style. A lover of music from a young age, Chris started his musical journey early by playing guitar for local bands in Miami.
When Chris moved to New York City, he began working with local producers in hip-hop and lo-fi. Energized by both the musical process and the ability to make entire tracks on his own in the genre, Chris released his first album Monstera in 2018.

The project’s emphasis on guitar solos is personal to Mazuera, calling back to his musical introduction to New York City. “I would busk in Grand Central soloing over the blues for hours,” he recalls. From start to finish, Let’s Take A Trip truly is a trip to be experienced.
Currently, Chris’ career has focused on collaboration and innovation across all musical genres. He has even produced for several artists such as FELIVAND, Nafets, Jessica Domingo, and Habe.

16-year-old viral sensation Havanna Winter is lighting up this holiday season with her festive new single, “Daddy’s Kissing Santa Claus.” The track is accompanied by a hilariously outrageous Christmas video with an 80s-inspired twist. The video co-star’s Havanna alongside a great group of people including Guevara, Marsha Molinari, Vince Rossi, Jordan Xidas, and more.
“‘Daddy’s Kissing Santa Claus’ is such a fun song,” says Havanna Winter. “It’s chaotic and catchy, and it gets stuck in your head. I feel like it’s very relatable because most of us have experienced some Christmas gatherings that didn’t go as planned. I think that with all the serious things that have been going on in the world lately, people need a break from it, especially over the holidays, and to just be able to relax and have a laugh with some funny and happy vibes.”
Havanna Winter gained worldwide attention in 2020 with a series of hugely popular TikTok videos, she now has over 6 million followers across social media. Born in Norway but raised in Los Angeles, CA, the wildly talented musical artist, actress, and influencer gained popularity with a trio of singles released throughout 2022. Some of her most famous being “rain rain go away,” “Heaven To Me,” and “Hollywood Forever.”
The still-evolving young artist is determined to bring a similarly vivid and creative approach to modern Pop, infusing retro influences with forward-facing spirit to create something altogether her own.She has already released 3 singles this year with an album to come next year all guided by Executive Producer Maya K (Bebe Rexha, Anita, J Balvin).

Albany’s State Champs spent their Thanksgiving in Las Vegas, holding a family dinner with their crew. The day off from their Fall Tour, one that took them from the East Coast, with an appearance in Brooklyn in November and all the way out west by late November, was a welcome respite from cross-country travel in post-pandemic America.

State Champs return home to Albany to close the tour out at Empire Live on Saturday, December 10, with a sold out show and support from Young Culture, Hunny, Save Face and Between You & Me opening up the night. Dubbed Frozen Fest, the pop-punk scene is alive and well with State Champs leading the way for the next wave.
Speaking with guitarist Tyler Szalkowski and drummer Evan Ambrosio via Zoom the night before Thanksgiving before the band’s show at The Union in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas was a jumping off point, given the group having a first hand experience at When We Were Young Festival, held a month prior at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. High winds forced the cancellation of Day 1 of the festival, leaving a sour taste in many fans mouths, despite safety of fans being paramount, especially in a city like Las Vegas.

The band was unloading at 10am when the found ou their se was cancelled. “It was a massive bummer, many thought it was too good to be true given the lineup, but the cancellation of Day 1 was needed due to high winds and fan safety,” said Szalkowski. “It’s the last thing you want to do as a promoter, let alone as a band. I can’t see anyone dying from the selfish desire to see music.” This passionate defense of a festival that was at first criticized for canceling the day is on point – this was no ‘emo Fyre Fest’ as Ambrosio best put it. In a town with hundreds of hotel options and nightlife around every corner, the band and fans made due.
They attempted to come up with a last minute show, but playing a show just to play a show wasn’t a worthwhile option, especially when all bands on the Friday lineup was looking to put on a show. With options limited and bands they were looking to pair up with for an impromptu show – one booked and announced mere hours before doors – State Champs came up with a better idea. Tweeting out a message to fans to meet them outside O’Shea’s – near The Linq, centrally located on the Vegas Strip – and this meetup turned into a large gathering for about an hour, much to the chagrin of security, despite fans being peaceful and there to hang with their idols in a setting that was a rare opportunity for all parties. Fans from around the world who were bummed about the cancellation were happy to meet a band they traveled far to see.

Still in town for the weekend, the band and crew were able to check out the festival and see bands from their formative years, with Evan noting “I was impressed with how it was, walking around saying ‘I know that song, and that song. It also made you feel safe, with more security and scanning an RFID chip to get through access points.”

Looking back on their Vans Warped Tour days with the experience of When We Were Young and other festival appearances for State Champs, Szalkowski reflected on the basicness for artists who were appearing at the many Warped side stages. “Warped was like a free for all with a mixed bag of folks and poppy artists nearby, the band playing Super Smash Brothers on a 55” screen TV in our 10×10 tent backstage.” For Evan, “Warped is still to this day my favorite tour,” with the band needing to be compact enough to set up, perform and break down quickly so you can get out to discover bands that were on the same footing.
Live performances these days for State Champs are all about keeping the sound, energy and performance steady for each night of the tour.
“There’s a lot of integrity in being a band, it has to be authentic and real, One day we said ‘fuck it, let’s be a professional band,’ and you want it to carry over live. At one point we dove into live rhythm tracks to have more control over our performance and the layers that helped us sound more professional. All the touring bands had a similar set up and we’re using tracks and a number of amps on stage. Why limit ourselves when we have all these assets at our disposal? We want it to sound like the biggest and best band, better than the studio.”
Tyler Szalkowski
By 2019, the full band had in-ear monitors, and lost the live cabinets from the stage, and ceded more control to FOH, keeping the rig fully self-contained so that none of our stuff changes from day to day. “We don’t show up with an experimental groove, we bring it all – gear, consoles, mics – to guarantee sonic consistency,” said Ambrosio.
Factoring in the setlist to the cohesive sound has the band looking steps ahead with each choice to determine ‘What does this song do, and how does the song before and after affect it,” according to Szalkowski. Keeping the setlist consistent this fall tour helps to keep the flow of the show going – although they had a rotating setlist in the summer.
“This tour is the favorite one we’ve ever done. We’ve extended some sections and added new arrangements and perform a medley of old songs that satisfies fans looking for earlier work. Having toured with pop acts that did cool things that we wanted to do, we brought in LED screens to make the show more of a live music experience.”
Evan Ambrosio
But as they push into their 30s, the angst they shared through their music once before has changed in inspiration, not in message. “We’re still pissed off about stuff. Not borderline teenage angst; bad stuff still happens to us, our hearts get broken by people (and events)” shared Szalkowski. “We always have a bit of an edge, we were the band of ‘something sucks, but it’ll get better, life is worth living.”
Avoiding being disingenuous or cringe and authentic in performance – as well as songwriting – allows the band to allow fans to create their own interpretation of a song. Ambrosio sums up where State Champs’ mindset is “We focus on life as we experience it, not an event we didn’t have a part in. We write about things that stay true to what we experience, and not try to jump on a trend of ultimate sadness or TikTok videos, so we can maintain authenticity and stay true to what the band has built up.”
State Champs’ sold out Frozen Fest at Empire Live takes place this Saturday, December 10.
The holiday season delivered an early gift for music fans on Saturday, December 3, as radio station 95X hosted its annual 95X-Mas Pajama Jam at The Westcott Theater in Syracuse. The event, headlined by the indie folk-rock band Wilderado, also featured a solo performance by Andrew McMahon and a set by Almost Monday.

Wilderado, hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma, are led by Max Rainer (vocals and guitar), also include Tyler Wimpee (guitar), Justin Kila (drums), David Stimson (bass guitar) and Jack Malonis (keyboards). They continue to tour in support of their 2021 self-titled album, and were making their first appearance in Central NY.

The event opened with a set by Almost Monday. The San Diego indie-rockers hit the stage promptly at 8pm and delighted fans with a set of groovy rock tracks.

Up next was Andrew McMahon. McMahon is most known for his years fronting the bands Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin. His recent set at Beak & Skiff in August 2022 was a summer favorite of many. On this evening, however, fans were treated to a rare, solo performance. Flanked by just a piano, McMahon took fans through a journey highlighting many of his past musical projects. From the moment McMahon took the stage, fans sang along to every word. A set filled with many highlights, perhaps the most special moment was when McMahon closed his set by honoring a fan’s request by playing the emotional “Hammers and Strings.”

After a brief intermission, it was time for Wilderado. The band opened with a dreamy musical intro before launching into “Stranger,” the opening track on their 2021 self-titled album. The band weaved through several folk-rock styled tracks, much to the enjoyment of the crowd who jumped, danced, and sang along.

As the set wound to a close, Rainer summoned the crowd. “Are you guys going to help me sing Surefire?” The band began their stand out track and the crowd did not dissapoint, belting out the lyrics to the catchy chorus. As the song concluded, the band members shed their instruments and joined Rainer at the front of the stage. Armed with just an acoustic guitar, the band closed their set with “Rubble to Rubble”, a beautiful ode becoming a new parent.
In May 2021, SunDub recorded their sophomore album, Spirits Eat Music, at Lydgate Sound in Kauai, HI. On the remote cacao farm where Lydgate’s studio is located the band found inspiration in the nature and culture of Hawaii.
At the same I was also in Hawaii, running from the pandemic, house-sitting my uncle’s bungalow on Maui. My uncle’s wood paneled Grand Wagoneer didn’t have an aux cord — or windows, or a roof for that matter — so I found myself listening to the Maui reggae station on every drive into town. The Pidgin-tongued commentators played underground reggae from smaller islands, like Kauai, old Bob Marley classics and the studio-produced contemporary songs you would hear at the Makena beach parties. All those influences are honored in Spirits Eat Music, though SunDub is made up of a diverse set of New Yorkers, working out of Brooklyn.
“The island and farm envelopes its visitors with lush nature and sweet sunshine, offering a beautiful kind of inspiration that can only come from being disconnected to our everyday lives and distractions,” said Joanna Teters, lead singer, about recording in Kauai. Teters sings lead vocals with her brother Ben, and Finn Singer on guitar, Josh T. Carter on bass and Eric “the General” Toussaint covers keys and vocals, to complete a perfectly consonant rhythm section to pair with Teters’ smoky-sweet voice.
Magic isn’t taboo in reggae; spiritualism is the status quo. The album’s title track sees music as food for the dead: “They want it juicy, you know they want it ripe / they want to feast on it, all through the night / They don’t want it all at once, they want to savor every bite.”
“Spirits Eat Music” evokes the ripe mangoes Hawaiians sell on the side of the road in spring; I remember peeling the skin off with my teeth, eating it one handed on my bike, ocean to my right, wind in my hair. If music is food, “Spirits Eat Music” sets the table for a feast as the first song on the album.
Lutan Fyah’s feature on the album’s most streamed song, “Jump and Dance,” makes for a true dance anthem. Fyah brings his intrinsic rhythm, message of love through sound and the deep reggae roots of his Jamaican upbringing to the song, a powerful co-sign for SunDub.
For SunDub, reggae isn’t just a rhythm or lyrical style, it permeates all aspects of live. In “Call on Me,” Teters sings: “If you’re ever feeling alone / If you ever find yourself lost, you’re wandering down a strange road / Come walk my way and show your face you know I’m always / Ready to give and show you love and share my space.”
It’s not an empty promise. SunDub’s members respect reggae tradition by doing work to give back to the community. They teach music lessons to NYC youth, collaborate with non-profits and have used their platform to raise over $1,000 for the NAACP Education and Legal Defense Fund.
SunDub released three songs over the summer, then released the full album on November 11. The album retains that sun-soaked, salty feel of the summer, a much needed reprieve for a cold New York winter. Listen to the full album here.
In the early 80’s, I was an underaged aspiring musician, desperately trying to break out of my high school music scene to be a part of something bigger. I think the drinking age was still 18; but I was far from the cutoff age, and looked even younger, so getting into clubs to see bands was nearly impossible. I was frequently sent home by less than sympathetic doormen and bartenders with the same parting words; “Ya gotta grow up, kid”. Every once in a while, I would get lucky and be able to catch part of a set, sometimes only part of a song, before being discovered and swiftly ejected. Yes, I was that pain in the ass kid.
One band in particular, The Units, had quite a following in the area, and enjoyed some success before changing their name to Fear of Strangers. They were very popular, and their shows well attended, which provided me with plenty of camouflage. I was able to catch the entire set before being discovered, and as I was firmly escorted out (I weighed about 80 pounds), I was still going through my mental notes of everything that I had just picked up from their drummer, Mr. Al Kash. This was the closest that I had ever been to a legitimate rock star.
Al Kash with Fatty Lumpkin
Al Kash appeared to be ten feet tall, with an additional two feet of hair, with a five-foot reach over his drum set. His playing was inspiring to this impressionable teenager; as he effortlessly conducted the band, while laying down the perfect groove with an ever-present smile. I’ve seen him play dozens of times since then, and he still inspires me. Al has been a staple of the local scene for over 40 years, playing with multiple acts, and is one of the nicest, most talented and humble guys that you’ll ever meet. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Al Kash!
RRX: How did you get your start on the drums? How old were you, and why the drums?
AK: My family arrived in Australia in 1964. One of my first friends there happened to be a guitarist. He suggested I take up bass so we could start a band. Next thing we’re auditioning for a band. There was a drum set, but no drummer. The singer’s girlfriend played drums, but they recently split up. For whatever reason, I sat down on the kit and started playing. I ended up buying the drums. I was 15.
AK: I’m still influenced by all of my favorites. I listen to a lot of stuff from India, Brazil, etc.
RRX: I’ve seen you play a number of different kits; what’s your favorite? Do you have a “dream kit”?
AK: I’ve had so many kits, including a 13-piece Rogers kit. But mostly four to six piece kits, the majority of them being USA brands, with an occasional Premier or Yamaha kit. My dream kit would probably be some sort of Terry Bozzio set up.
RRX: Tell me about some of your favorite gig/playing experiences.
AK: Opening for The Rolling Stones was a great experience. I’ve also played in opening acts for Roy Orbison, Van Morrison, REM, and Iggy Pop. I’ve toured through Italy, Hawaii, Europe, Brazil, Australia, Tasmania and the USA.
RRX: The Rolling Stones? What?!? Please, tell me more!
AK: The Stones gig was great. Seeing Bill Wyman asking our singer if he could bum a smoke (Rollie Drum tobacco) was a crack up! They were great. They seemed to be having a great time. This may have been the last show of their Oz Tour. (Perth Australia, 1973).
RRX: Amazing! What an experience! Do you play any other instruments?
AK: Percussion, guitar, recorder and bass
RRX: Do you read music? Write?
AK: I do read and write music, and I have two solo albums.
RRX: Yes! I’ve listened to “Spectrum Bateria”, and it’s great! You have some great videos on your Youtube channel; alkashdrummer. There is an incredible video of you playing high atop a sculpture. How high was that, and who lugged all of the gear up there? Were you prepared for rain? Snow? Any plans to do it again?
AK: That structure is a look-out tower in Kings Park, Perth, West Australia. I’m sure that it’s three stories or more high. We had a road crew back then, who got my stuff up there. No snow in Perth. I would gladly do it again if someone would lug my drums up there!
RRX: It’s a great video and seems like a great experience. Tell us a good gig story.
AK: Back in The Units/Fear of Strangers days, we were playing at Yesterday’s on Fuller Road when a group of bikers came in. All of the sudden there were bottles and glasses flying through the air. We panicked and started to drag our equipment into the kitchen. It all stopped rather quickly when the bartender whipped out a rifle! Another time I was playing the Corporate Run with Playin’ with Fire under the museum on Madison Avenue in Albany. The little side street next to where we were set up had a row of 20 porta-potties. As we finished up our set, a strong wind storm came in, which required a few band members trying to keep one of the porta-potties from wiping our gear out! We watched three or four more of them coasting by, heading down Madison Ave. with the cops in pursuit!
RRX: That sounds terrible. I hope that they were not in use at the time. What do you play for cymbals?
AK: Most brands, the drier type preferred. I am always interested in independent cymbal makers; Istanbul’s, K’s, even broken/cracked cymbals.
RRX: Have you had any formal training?
AK: Yes, I’ve had a half dozen lessons with Andrew Cyrille, the drummer for Cecil Taylor. I’ve also studied with Rob Taylor from Perth, Australia. I’ve also had reading and technique discussions with Mr. Mark Foster from Albany.
RRX: We’ve all studied with Mark Foster! Tell me about your current projects.
AK: I’m currently gigging with Playin’ with Fire, and I have a few recording projects with Axe Iron Suns. I’m also looking forward to a new project with Moses Nagel, bassist from The Magdalens.
RRX: What is some advice you would give to aspiring drummers?
AK: Be adventurous and play as much as you can every day.
RRX: I’ll do my best. Thank you
Al Kash! Thanks to the rest of you for reading, and check out Al’s YouTube channel, or playing live with Playin’ with Fire. See you next time.

Singer-songwriter Rachael Sage performed this past Sunday, December 4th, at the Towne Crier Cafe in Beacon. Evoking music of the 60s-era folk genre with her powerful vocals, masterful guitar-playing, and agile piano skills, Sage put on an incredible performance.
Rachael Sage at the Towne Crier Cafe
A resident of Beacon with a large New York audience, Sage performed her eclectic music with Kelly Halloran on violin and Trina Hamlin on harmonica and percussion. With her recent release of “Revelation Ground,” Sage performed songs from this new maxi-single along with others from her Billboard Charting album Character, her wide collection of 14 albums, and her experimental side project called Poetica. A multi-instrumentalist and award-winning artist, Rachael Sage has played all across the globe and is set to perform in New York City at The Loft at City Winery to continue her tour across the United States.
During one song, Sage performed acoustically without the accompaniment of a microphone or instruments, instead clapping her hands to keep up the beat. The crowd reacted excitedly, admiring her soulful vocals as she walked off the stage to greet those watching from their seats. Rocking her bright-red boots, bright-red glasses, sparkly hoops, and flower-embellished hair, Sage played her large variety of guitars along with her sticker-covered keyboard. During her performance of Unconditional off of her Poetica side project, Sage used spoken-word to express her resonant composition with entrancing instrumentals, captivating the audience.
Rachael’s performance was truly phenomenal, and something nobody should miss. She previously played many shows in New York between February and April of 2022 during her tour. She is having her last New York show on December 12th and is set to perform at her later tour dates in Kansas.
Setlist: Blue Sky Days, Loreena, Deepest Dark, Whistle Blow, Alive, Sleep When I’m Tired, Haunted By Objects, Only You, Spark, The Other Side, Unconditional, Magenta and Blue, Umru Meine, Revelation Ground, Big Star Encore: Sistersong
