Levitation: Interview with Tropical F**k Storm

 Maddy Lehr (KTSW) and Keller Welton (KJHK) Music Journalist and Programming Director (KJHK) Going into our third day at Levitation, we were a bit disappointed about not scoring tickets to night two of King Gizzard at Stubb’s. Usually with interviews, it’s in and out, in hopes of not taking too much of the band’s time. After getting in contact with Gareth “Gaz” Liddiard, we were suddenly in the green room […]

Later I stumbled across their song entitled Mary.

Fall Alternative Records

Joel Milton Music Journalist As the days keep passing us by, the fall is quickly creeping up.

So, while you wander the greying streets with only jack-o’-lanterns outside homes and the orange glow from their […]
