These Female “Filthy Beat Inspectors” Are Pushing the Needle In Dubstep Music Blogging
“We didn’t have anyone ‘showing us the ropes,'” remembers Christina Vessa, who launched the electronic music blog Dubstep FBI just two years ago. “It can be intimidating,” added Yesenia Vizcaya, Vessa’s cofounder. “[As a woman], I felt like I was being held to a higher standard and was having to go through extra hurdles to prove myself.” It’s no secret that the dubstep scene—from its artists and label execs to its managers and engineers—is especially male-dominated. But with Dubstep FBI and the platform it offers, Vessa and Vizcaya are determined to move the needle. “We often find ourselves being the only women in meetings,” Vizcaya said. The Dubstep FBI team has profiled LAYZ during her tour with Sullivan ...

John Hinckley Jr., Who Shot Ronald Reagan, Books Concert in Brooklyn
John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, will play a concert in Brooklyn this summer. In 2016, after spending 34 years under institutional psychiatric care, Hinckley was released into the custody of his mother.

Jack White Kicks Off Tour — and Gets Married — in Detroit: Review
At the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit on Friday night, at the tail end of the first show in support of his new solo album, Fear of the Dawn; hours after performing a jagged, silvery version of the National Anthem at Opening Day for the Tigers; and in-between verses of a whomping “Hotel Yorba,” Jack White turns to Olivia Jean, a member of The Black Belles and one of two acts who opened for White that night, and says, “I got a little question for you, Olivia Jean.” Then he’s proposing, sliding a ring onto her hand while, with her other hand, she’s covering her mouth, nodding, crying, and he smiles, turns back to the microphone, and erupts into the sixth verse of the song: “LET’S GET MARRIED!” The dudes around me are feeling it: they’ve got their beers in the air and they’re yelling “Woooo...

JOURNEY drummer Deen Castronovo, who rejoined the band i 2021 after a six-year break, has told Dave Spuria of The Real Music Observer that JOURNEY frontman Arnel Pineda is “singing better than ever” on the group’s current U.S. tour. “We had to change our front-of-house guy,” he explained (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “Arnel was having a hard time hearing; he’s been fighting this for years. And we finally figured out, after years and years, that the soundman, our front-of-house guy, has been just pushing the mixes that Arnel was turning up his in-ears — turn ’em up, turn ’em up — and his ears would close up. And he was having a hard time; he was struggling to hear himself. Now that we got this new soundman, who used to work with ...
