Mick Foley, known somewhat more prevalently as wrestling personas Cactus Jack, Mankind or Dude Love, is a paradox of a man. Husband, father, hardcore legend and three-time best-selling author, Foley is a Renaissance man of the oddest order. While he may have made a name for himself sacrificing his body for decades across Asia, Africa and North America, Foley also is part of a rather illustrious literary company.
Of a Revolution (O.A.R.) is set to rock at Eastern on Sunday with their eclectic fusion of different jam-band stylings. O.A.R will make a stop in Charleston on their "back-to-grassroots" college tour to promote "In Between Now and Then," their first album released under a major label.
Aaron Saudargas/ staff writer 1. "Evid Dead 2"-With a bloody chainsaw and a mouth full of 1980s catch phrases that infected a generation, this movies is full of idiotic things that will make the individual watching it become more stupid. This movie can only be Evil Dead 2.
The frontman from one of the most underrated bands of the 90's and one of the best bands to come out of Chicago is hitting the stage at Friends & Co. Friday. Nash Kato was a guitarist and front man for Urge Overkill for their whole 12 years together, now he is solo and in Charleston for what is sure to be a memorable show.
This Halloween, Eastern residence halls will be decorating their walls with ghoulish ghosts and hanging spooky spiders from their ceilings in preparation for Charleston-area trick-or-treaters and holiday bashes. All of Eastern's residence halls, except for Douglas Hall, will host trick-or-treaters.
Distorted and loud. That is the only way I can think to describe Fadproof. Well, distorted, loud and angry. Fadproof seems to be a bit overly bitter for living in Central Illinois. Their blend of emo/metal/post-grunge music seems like a palpable mix for music listeners, but in actuality they come off sounding forced.
It would seem young Howie Day has been around the block a couple times. He opted to tour for the past four years instead of going to college like many of his peers. But this Bangor, Maine native wouldn't have had it any other way. Although he is only 23, his music reflects a wisdom and knowledge of self that Day attributes to those years he spent touring instead of in school.
Editor's note: Amber is only a psychic-in-training. These horoscopes are for entertainment only. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)- Unexpected visitors could come to your home today, dear Scorpio. An exciting conversation could take place, bringing fresh ideas and interesting thoughts.
The modern king of shock-rock has returned in full force to support his newest album, "The Golden Age Of Grotesque". Headlining the Aragon Ballroom Oct.17, Marilyn Manson proudly declared, "I don't worship Satan. Satan worships me!" Manson opened with the first two tracks from his new album, "Thaeter" and "This is the New Shit.
Halloween is a time for ghoulish costumes, activities, and also some ghoulish deals and dishes at a few local restaurants. Most local restaurants have decorated their interior with festive Halloween decorations, including The City Limits, What's Cookin', Stix and Marianne's Deli.
"Dead Alive" circa 1993 By Dan Valenziano Dead Alive is Peter Jackson at his second-finest. I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan so I can't put this movie above those but it comes really close. I mean, where else are you gonna see a guy cut up hundreds of zombies with a lawn mower he straps to his shoulder.
Kelly says: When the Strokes first burst onto the music scene two years ago, many critics thought that their hit album "Is This It" was just a fluke. They were thought of as some rich-boy New Yorkers who used daddy's money to get a record deal. The band silences those critics with their sophomore album "Room on Fire," an album that builds on the vintage-sound of their debut album.
Mystic River is a meritable film directed by actor turned auteur Clint Eastwood. Based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, the movie follows three neighborhood friends who are reunited as adults in the aftermath of a family tragedy. The plot is formula for a classic.
If AC/DC and the Stooges had a surly, chain smoking, hard drinking baby, the resulting offspring would surely be Louisiana rockers Supagroup. And I mean that as the highest compliment imaginable. With their latest self-titlted disk, Supagroup mine the gargantuan riffs of the aforementioned AC/DC, the cocky swagger of the Rolling Stones and the manic energy and humor of The Buzzcocks to amazing results.
