“No Warning Shots Fired” Fang got their start in the early '80s in the East Bay. The Berkeley hardcore band's early start was a little less hardcore and more experimental but that lineup, which featured future Glass Eye bassist Brian Beattie, only lasted under two years. The new lineup, with newly minted singer Sam McBride on vocals, became the punk rock powerhouse that blasted their way across the Bay Area with shows that were feral, wild and filled with rabid intensity and hardcore muscle. But feral as they were, Fang's fans felt a part of a discernible community. As a friend of mine who never missed a Fang show once said to me: "Being at Fang concert was like being at a fistfight where everyone's winning.” The band's first two efforts—Landshark and Where The Wild Things Are—remain undisputed punk rock classics and although that lineup dissolved in '85, McBride soldiered on with new personnel and as a result, Fangs' legacy became firmly cemented in punk rock lore, with their songs being covered over the years by Nirvana, Green Day and the Butthole Surfers. Fang pretty much tore through the ‘80s on a pretty big winning streak, and although that streak came to an end when McBride ended up in prison, the band's second act is a feral as their first and their new album No Warning Shot Fired is a raw and nervy blast of classic hardcore. www.fangofficialmerch.bigcartel.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenonline.com www.emberarts.com Twitter: @emberseditor Instagram: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Lawrence Haggart was a popular and talented young man who lived in a two-story semi-detached house on Glenbervie Drive with his mother and two brothers.It was from his father that Lawrence got his passion and skills for football. Larry was not just an avid Celtic supporter, but back in the day, he had played for the semi-professional football club called Alloa Athletics. So, Larry knew first-hand what it was like to pursue your dreams in the field and always supported his son's ambitions. From the very beginning, friends and family were sure Lawrence, with his set of talents, was destined for great things and had a future as a professional football player.  At the age of 15, Lawrence Haggart already had his life figured out—just for all his hopes and aspirations to be brutally ended in the most horrific  crime.BRIAN BEATTIE v.

What a barmy question!?? Or is it? Can we have the audacity to really think we can impact a whole place - be that a community, village, town, city or a nation? There are many that have been looking into this and dare I say, there are a few that have modeled the how. Brian and the work of others in Brantford, Canada are such examples - and how easy it really is! Genuinely.. you'd be surprised. Enjoy.

It's Independence Day Weekend, 1988. And Deirdre is celebrating the return of Glass Eye, her favorite independent act from Austin, Texas. They've just released their third album, “Bent By Nature.” But Deirdre's allegiance to the band went much deeper than a catchy title. For her, they represented the very best of what Austin had to offer, which at the time also included “SNAP!” staples like the Reivers, the Wild Seeds, and Poi Dog Pondering. Glass Eye's two principals, Kathy McCarty and Brian Beattie, say that whenever Glass Eye came to LA, Deirdre welcomed them with open arms and a sincere appreciation of their own bent nature.

This loop is fairly flat and easy. It's a little longer than our first hike. There are a few hills and there is a creek crossing. Usually the creek is low, and you will not have to get your feet wet. However, if there has been a lot of rain, we do not recommend hiking this trail, as the creek will be higher and the trail gets very muddy. Areas of this park are also an off-leash dog area, and there are quite a few equestrian trails, so be prepared to see dogs and horses. During this hike, I talk a lot about the history of Onion Creek. I used resources on TPWD's Website, NPS's Website, some articles from the Austin American Statesman, and Brian Beattie from "Friends of Onion Creek" Trailhead: https://goo.gl/maps/7oFLKRCYLcYmQxR6A Strava Route: http://www.strava.com/routes/2735349333644476676 Resources: https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/mckinney-falls https://www.nps.gov/elte/index.htm https://www.statesman.com/article/20110121/news/301219796 https://www.facebook.com/groups/friendsofonioncreek

"For me it only becomes an artwork if it has the potential to have a lot of layers of meaning. I have my themes that I always want to emphasize and I’m always looking for ways buoy those themes and so I’m on the look out. The aesthetics are never the thing that get me. It’s if there is something out there that I see that will speak to what I am already thinking about. Memory plays a big part when I come back to my studio in what I want to infuse back into my paintings. So I know that it was a beautiful waterfall but its not about just a beautiful waterfall. Its about family, and trust, and memory of that beautiful walk. I’m probably the only one that knows that. But while I’m painting I’m definitely thinking about that and hoping I can infuse that kind of depth into my paintings." Drawing and painting are a way for Valerie Fowler (https://valeriefowler.com/home.html) to be in the moment, to relax, and to get into the flow and journey of her art. She starts with an idea and then reacts to what happens next as the details evolve. It’s not just about the aesthetics but about her and the stories, memories, feelings, and themes, that she hopes to infuse into the work in a deep, honest, and meaningful way. Early on in her career the work was more narrative, portraying dramatic scenes and psychologically charged persons and props, that often were representations of herself. As someone who was very shy it was a way for her to explore and talk about miscommunication and other issues important to her at the time. With the happiness of starting a family and raising children her work became more botanically inspired, complex, and thematic, based on her garden and the nature surrounding her home. Initially what she captured was more a recording of what she saw in person but then it matured into mostly creating from memory. With clean and precise edges and colors that pop she continues to create works that are intensely detailed and beautiful with layers of meaning beyond the obvious, but definitely relatable and understandable. The subjects are relevant to her past and present life and also reflect her concern for the state of nature and man's effect on the planet. Valerie also collaborates with her husband Brian Beattie who is a musician and producer. Together they create storytelling performances that use a “Crankie” to display a long linear scrolled drawing that is accompanied by music. Her current project is based on a historic home in west Austin that is being turned into a museum. See the details below for this most recent project and how to see it in person.

(https://www.facebook.com/events/2501197826777419/) Location 6448 Hwy 290 E., Suite A102, Austin, TX 78723 CAMIBAart Gallery is pleased to present Valerie Fowler and her exhibit “The Story of the Deer in the Road”. Viewers familiar with Valerie’s artwork will automatically recognize her expressive style, with its bend toward surrealism, and her sense of place, often a romanticized life in Central Texas. Her vision is uniquely personal, yet universal in message. She employs elements from the natural world as allegorical characters to imply storytelling with a mission to inspire contemplation concerning human interaction with our natural world. The artworks in this exhibit explore Valerie’s personal visions of vulnerability and confrontation with death and threats to human existence in general, manifested in the form of a deer. The animal, ubiquitous in Texas and throughout the U.S., transgresses into human habitat such that its presence is a constant reminder to us that its own natural habitat has shrunk and is continuously being altered. This deer, a female, portrayed in various visions or settings, is, in turns, the protagonist in a story not completely revealed, an omen, or an alter ego to the artist. In her own words: Through implied narratives I relay my concern and love for our fragile home as I explore the mark we humans make on it. Stories, taken from my own interactions with nature, are integral. Over time I’ve developed personal touchstones and archetypes sourced from my native Texas environment, which hint at allegories.

In week four of the "I AM" series, we will look at Jesus' statement that He is the gate. In John 10:9, Jesus says "I am the gate. Those who come through me will be saved." On Sunday, we will look at what it means to be disciples of Jesus and belong to God and how we live that out.
