As millions of people walked the streets of Cincinnati to experience the lights and sounds of BLINK, some of the lucky on-lookers may have walked across the performance of Cincinnati based indie rock band Carriers.

The new movie “The Mountain Minor” follows five generations of one family that moved from Eastern Kentucky to Cincinnati during the Great Depression. It is loosely based on writer/director Dale Farmer’s own family. Dale Farmer will conduct a Q&A, following screenings of his film at The Esquire Theatre on October 17 and 20. An after party will take place at Sitwell’s Coffee Shop, next door to the theatre, following the October 17 showing.

On Friday, Multimagic released “Sunshine” off of the highly anticipated Move On EP to be released in November. Hopefully you caught their set at BLINK! You can catch them next at INspired at The Southgate House Revival on Friday, October 25^th.

Hailing from Donetsk in the Ukraine, and two-time winner of Best Ukrainian Metal Band, Jinjer are a self-described four-piece Progressive Groove metal wrecking machine. They are fronted by the incredibly talented and dynamic vocalist, Tatiana Schmailyuk with equally talented Roman Ibramkhalilov on guitars, Eugene Abdukhanov on bass and Vladislav Ulasevish on the kit. 

Thursday night at The Southgate House Revival, North Carolina group Sarah Shook & The Disarmers would return to what Shook called one of their favorite venues in the country. Along with Kentucky folk/ country singer songwriter Senora May opening. 

Half•Alive has quickly become one of my favorite bands since discovering them earlier this year. My friends are all tired of listening to them. I know every word to every song, and I’ve watched all their videos too many times to admit in writing. Last night I was lucky enough to get to see them perform at Newport Music Hall, Columbus Ohio.  

Six years ago, the biggest name in Rock Music without a doubt would’ve been Akron, Ohio’s The Black Keys. Racking up Grammys left and right, with albums like ‘Brothers’ and ‘El Camino’ offer entire albums worth of hits. The garage rock duo were at the height of their success, at a time where Kanye West and Drake were releasing arguably their best work and hip-hop artists were becoming the new rock stars. 

It is the title track for me that truly encapsulates many feelings we have going on right now. “Six Feet of Earth” is a song that to sum it up simply means that in the end it does not matter how rich or how poor you are. As we are all the same under six feet of earth. 

On Friday 10/18 at 10 p.m., KNOTTS (CEA New Artist of the Year 2018), Moonbeau (CEA winner of Album of the Year 2018) and Leo Pastel will present Homecoming, a FREE show/conceptual event at MOTR Pub.
