Alan Niven has seen a lot. As manager for Guns n Roses as they made their ascendancy into music superstardom, Alan saw it all. And in his book, "Sound n Fury," he tells it all."Sound n Fury" is available June 24th wherever you get your books.

Captivating audiences since his teenage years, Eric Travers has solidified his status as a seasoned musician in the vibrant Asheville music scene. Hailing from the mountains of Black Mountain, NC, Travers first made his mark as the heartbeat behind an acclaimed Rock n Roll, Jam Band, Travers Brothership, which he co-founded with his brother Kyle at just 13 years old. Over the past 15+ years, the group has amassed an impressive catalog of 35+ published tracks and extensive touring experience. Now 31, Travers has reached new heights in 2024 with the release of his latest single, "Dead End Street," and his new role as Owner and CEO of the All Aboard Records label. Drawing from his diverse musical background in rock, Americana, and blues, Travers' emotive performances and melodic sensibilities have earned him a dedicated following across Western North Carolina and beyond, cementing his role in the local music scene. With the launch of his latest project, the Eric Travers Band, this versatile multi-instrumentalist is primed to take his artistry to thrilling new levels.1. Background and Music CareerHow did you get started in music? What inspired you to pursue it as a career?My father was a career musician who always had instruments and fellow musicians around. My first "real" drumset was gifted to me when I was 8-9 years old. It became a dream of mine when I received praise and applause from my cousins playing air guitar at the age of 3 and 4. I was inspired to start a career in music because I made enough money to barely get by as a musician and this was my end goal. All or none. I sought out a living and a labor of love.When did you first start performing and touring?My first performance was for my school, performing an Elvis Christmas song with my twin brother and father. Performing regularly started when I was 15, with my brother, playing shows from Brevard, NC all the way to Marion, NC as "Travers Brothers Band / Caution Tape", a four piece Rock n' Roll outfit with a 2010, 10 track LP. Our bandmate's father helped us with transportation for 3 years. Touring started after my time freed up, at the age of 17. (When we could drive). I made the choice to leave college for the career in music. Now the band was performing for only $200 every Thursday in Greensboro, NC. A 2 1/2 hour drive from our hometown, Black Mountain, NC.How would you describe your musical style, and how has it evolved over time?My music style is American roots music. When I was 11-13 my band "The Predatorz" played strictly Rock n' Roll like Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top. I started playing piano and acoustic guitar at this time which was strictly music by The Beatles. "Caution Tape--> Travers Brothers Band" then came along at 14-17. And the Rock n Roll became more jam band oriented with extended guitar solos influenced by The Allman Brothers Band. Then, groove oriented funk music became a thing.My brother and I founded a very successful touring band at the age of 18 called Travers Brothership. In 2012 our debut release was very progressive, soulful, funk and rock group. For the next 4 years we toured with 7 members performing what we called "funkadelic" music. Our 3 piece horn (brass) section helped color this genre.In 2016 the lineup changed back to the original 4 members of the band including my twin brother. We had no choice but to return to a jammy, Rock n' Roll vibe to keep audiences on their toes. We had to stick to our guns and give the audience a powerful sound to make up for 3 lost players in the band.2. The Traveling ExperienceWhat is the most exciting part about traveling for your music?The most exciting part is seeing landmarks, going to new places, seeing national parks and observing the different arts and cultures.How do you typically prepare for a tour? Does your preparation change depending on where you're performing?When preparing for tour I have to make sure my drumset is ready for performance. All items must be accounted for in our vehicle and/or trailer. In the beginning I required everyone to have foodstamps. We got by with very little. When we were traveling for longer lengths of time we brought more clothes and made sure our vehicle was in proper condition. Eating nutriously required extra packing which was always tough because everyone's priorities are different. Our preparation will change if we are traveling further, flying or if we need our clothes to be nicer. Dressing accordingly is just one step "above" the audience - say, if the audience has T-shirts, we wear button downs.How do you stay grounded and connected to home while you're on the road?Staying connected to home always came with forfeiting home for the road. My dog traveled with me everywhere. The road and music were my home and a way of life.Have you ever had a surprising or unexpected cultural experience while performing in a different country or city?New Orleans, LA was a culture shock. The large but small music community was humbling. The experience of spending time in Hamburg, Germany was unexpected because some tour dates were canceled. I spent 1 week here. This atmosphere was very interesting and intimidating. 3. Life on the RoadCan you walk us through a typical day on the road for you? What's the routine like?Our road life followed a minimalist lifestyle. The band had to be weekend warriors. Days on the road started by waking up in someone else's house either on the floor or a random bed. We would normally sleep in as late as possible. We would take turns showering and get on the road asap. Play time was hard because a 4 person vote to do something is really annoying. In the van we mainly slept. There are a lot of road rules. We'd show up at a show, perform and hopefully rely on night life to prepare us for a place to crash. Hotels were hardly an option until we became established enough for a living wage. The routine followed Day of Show instructions but life on the road followed lifestyle. We all had our own lifestyle. I am epileptic so staying healthy was my main goal.What are some of the most challenging aspects of life as a touring musician?Musicians don't get paid much. This is a challenge and hard to keep a band together because of this. When keeping track of your tour dates you can see that you've played 300 shows but only once in a certain market, so they're not paying you. The hardest part is the time spent between the stage and the bus. The culture, nightlife and fun is the biggest challenge. You would believe that not getting paid is worth it, for site seeing and a good time; however, all time must be spent with comradery and focus.How do you manage the physical and mental toll of constant travel, late nights, and performing?Our band couldn't manage the physical and mental toll. We broke up after 10 years due to a mental health crisis. Alcohol was introduced to us whenever we were 14 and 15. Everyone wants to party with the artist. If you don't become part of the culture you're not doing your job. Or are you? My job was to network and find our next opportunity until and we were more established. I wrecked two vans on tour having a seizure, due to poor health. Our backs started to hurt. We didn't take care of ourselves or know how to. It can be a really hard life and managing everything is very challenging.4. Performing to Different AudiencesWhat's it like performing in new cities or countries where the audience may not know your music?The band and I stick to our guns. When you're playing original music confidently with passion and love, everyone reacts the same way. We would change our set for different audiences, though. Europe liked blues and rock. Frat parties liked dance music. Local bars liked cover songs.How do you adapt your performance for different audiences and cultures?I personally liked changing outfits and/or suggesting different songs. Say, in the south we would cover an Allman Brothers Song or play my country influenced original. Or, in a Latin culture like Spain we would cover Santana.Do you notice any commonalities in the energy or reaction of audiences around the world, or does it vary a lot?There are a few different types of shows and audiences: one is the crowd that is there for the culture, and not the music, while another is strictly listening, and then a fully supported original crowd that is mainly family/friends. A festival and jam band community always followed us. Our crowds can always mingle. Our "family". Music is a universal language. All in all our band found it's way in to a "jam band" grateful dead scene.5. Connection with FansHow do you build a connection with your fans when you're on the road?Building connection comes with personal experience or online presence. Do you have any memorable stories about a fan encounter or a meaningful moment with someone in the crowd?I remember performing on stage in front of the biggest crowd I have ever played in front of and locking eyes with my dad, who was in "awe". Also, moments in which I've inspired other musicians to pursue a career. I remember a time setting up a fans drumset for his son.What role do social media and online engagement play in connecting with your audience while traveling?These play the largest roles. Keeping fans interested can be challenging. There's only so much you can do. If you're not a strong personality then you will struggle in this business.6. Challenges of TouringWhat has been one of your biggest challenges while touring, and how did you overcome it?Getting along and my seizures. Mental health is the biggest challenge for every musician. Saying no to drugs and alcohol.Have you ever had a tour or performance go completely wrong? How did you handle it?Things have gone completely wrong before. Sometimes, admitting defeat is the best option if things are failing. But at the end of the day, if the show must go on, then it must go on. You can follow Eric on instagram @allaboardrecords and Facebook, and find his music on Apple Music, Spotify, or anywhere you like to stream!!

Billboard Magazine -. Frm Tokyo Bureau Chief, At the 16, Elise Krentzel became a Journalist & at 19, she was the youngest journalist on the KISS  Japan Tour.Her Book "Under My Skin Trauma, Drama, and Rock n Roll" is the FIRST in a Trilogy.We're Ready to Really ROCK n Roll!!."Elise Says""It takes courage to step out and write your truth, own it and forgive it. Neglect and abandonment, physical, emotional, and verbal abuse, narcissistic parents and a host of malcontents to add flavor and color to the toxic mix that was my childhood.Yet light always shines through, right? I channeled my talents, hopes and ambition into writing about music and became a rock journalist as a teenager. I toured with Kiss on a press junket at 19 in Japan. That was just the beginning!Please CELEBRATE with me today! My book is now available and I'm dancing around my apartment with a bottle of bubbly. Get your rock ‘n' roll on!"Elise Krentzel's fast paced memoir, Under My Skin has earned #1 new release in these categories: Biographies of Rock Bands, Music Business, Rock, Composers & Musicians, and Jewish life. She shares how she took charge of the tumultuous 1970s by making a name for herself as a rock journalist when still a teenager. As a kid, she was encouraged by her parents to sing, play music, and write, but she wasn't allowed to be “herself.” Alienated, she hid her heart and learned to become a stranger in her own skin as the torment of early childhood taught her to mistrust everyone, especially herself.She's a multiglot: author, ghostwriter, mentor, public speaker, and communications entrepreneur who has lived in five countries for over twenty-five years. Starting in Japan from 1977 to 1984, she owned a talent and booking agency, introduced punk rock, was a DJ and, music journalist.

Gary Graff has done it again. With a cadre of writers, Gary pulled together a list of 501 albums that he feels are the most indicative of the 1980s. (We talked with Gary before about his list of albums of the 90s.)

Before the name Angry Anderson was etched into the annals of Australian rock music history, before the explosive energy of Rose Tattoo dominated stages, and before the emotional hit single “Suddenly” melted hearts across the world, there was just a working-class kid from Melbourne with a lot of grit and one hell of a voice.Born Gary Stephen Anderson in 1947, in Melbourne, Angry's early years were shaped by a rough-and-tumble environment that would later fuel his gritty, growling vocal style and hard-edged lyrics. Growing up in a tough household and navigating the chaos of suburban Australia during the 50s and 60s, Angry developed a rebellious spirit early on. He wasn't just angry in name—it was an energy, a rawness, a defiance that became his brand.Angry's first brush with the music world came in the late 60s when he joined the psychedelic band Peace Power and Purity, but it wasn't long before he migrated toward something heavier, something louder, something that matched the fury he carried inside. He soon found himself fronting the Buster Brown band—a raw, blues-rock outfit that blended searing guitar riffs with Angry's sandpaper vocals.Buster Brown became known in the Australian pub rock circuit, with Anderson's stage presence quickly earning him a reputation as a firecracker performer who gave everything on stage.In 76, Angry joined a new band called Rose Tattoo. It was ferocious and unapologetically Aussie. Rose Tattoo wasn't just a rock band. They were a statement. With their bald heads, tattooed bodies, and denim-stained bravado, they embodied working-class rebellion, pub rock pride, and that dangerous edge of Aussie outlaw culture. Their debut self-titled album in 78, featuring hits like “Bad Boy for Love” and “Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw,” exploded onto the Australian charts and gained attention in Europe.Rose Tattoo were frequent support acts for AC/DC, and they earned massive respect from international bands like Guns N' Roses, who cited them as a major influence.But just when everyone thought they had Angry figured out—tattooed tough guy, snarling rock dog—he flipped the script. In 87, Angry released “Suddenly”, an emotional power ballad that no one saw coming. The song became a global phenomenon when it was used in Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan's wedding episode on the soap Neighbours, watched by millions.As the 90s rolled around, Angry became more than just a rock singer. He emerged as a tv personality. His charisma, honesty, and at times fiery opinions made him a household name in Australian media.In 92, he showed off his acting chops in the post-apocalyptic classic Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, starring alongside Mel Gibson and Tina Turner.But Angry also channeled his influence into causes he cared about. He became a passionate youth advocate, speaking out against domestic violence and drug abuse, drawing on his own difficult upbringing to connect with vulnerable communities. He even flirted with politics—running as a Senate candidate in later years.Despite countless lineup changes, personal tragedies—including the loss of many original Rose Tattoo members to cancer—and the ever-changing music landscape, Angry has kept the Rose Tattoo flame burning. He's the longest-tenured member and has fronted the band through decades of Australian and international tours.In recent years, Rose Tattoo have toured extensively across Australia and Europe, proving the band's enduring legacy. Angry, now in his 70s, continues to perform with the same raw energy that made him a legend in the first place.Angry Anderson isn't just an Australian rock icon—he's a survivor, a storyteller, and a symbol of the grit and soul that defines Australian hard rock.Discover all that makes Angry Anderson tick in this compelling episode.

Send us a textMixtape Junkies is a Chicago based rock band that prides itself on musicianship and a one-of-a-kind playlist. Growing up in the 80's on a steady diet of the incredibly diverse music of the time. They were formed with the idea of covering Rock's “Mixtape era” (70's-80's), but wanted to do it differently. They formed their own identity by choosing songs that many other 80's bands don't (or can't) cover.

But people keep looking. This is a list of songs that were banned or otherwise maligned because someone was sure the singer was cursing. But there was no curse word. It is a long list."

VIDEO VERSION HERE https://youtube.com/live/nZxg1P8JU7E?feature=share Opie and the crew at Get Farts unleash a chaotic, laugh-filled episode packed with rock 'n' roll debates, bizarre NYC tales, and unfiltered banter. They riff on the best Led Zeppelin album, a turkey named Astoria roaming Midtown, and Katy Perry’s questionable "penis rocket" space trip. The hilarity escalates with a Central Park bathroom emergency busted by a cop, a shady church tax scam, and a Thai New Year water fight. Things get wilder with claims of Jim Morrison living as a maintenance worker in Syracuse, Bob Ross’s drill instructor past, and Katy Perry as a shape-shifting reptilian. JQ’s divorce bombshell sparks talk of dating apps and mama’s boys, while parallel parking play-by-plays and a nod to Jackie Robinson keep it real. This is Opie Radio at its most unhinged and hilarious!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
