IAS Exclusive Interview: Stepdad

indieandsuchdotcom:

On a rainy night in February, a few IAS contributors (D.ro, KG, and NP) got a chance to speak to Stepdad (minus Jeremy) before their show at Glasslands Gallery. We met up with the band at The Meatball Shop in Brooklyn, and did the interview on foot, on our way to the venue. We were sure to hit all of the important topics: shower playlists, guns, and zombie Whitney Houston.  


Indie And Such: Is this your first time headlining a show in New York?

Stepdad: Oh no, not in NY, but it’s the first time we’ve headlined a show and anyone will be there.


IAS: What are you guys listening to right now?

SD: We actually just played with this INCREDIBLE band in Rochester called The Demos. We grabbed a CD from them, and it’s so killer. Those guys are really talented and put on an amazing show and their songs are so good.

SD (Alex): I’m listening to this band called Small Black.


IAS: We have a playlist for everything. Do you have shower playlist? If not, what would be on your dream shower playlist?

We Review Yellow Ostrich’s Strange Land

indieandsuchdotcom:

Reviewed by: Nicole Hamlett (Wonderfrog)

Let’s get right down to what you want to hear. This album gets 3.5 out of 5 stars. 

This is why.  Yellow Ostrich diverges from their last album with some original music that doesn’t rely on looping or singing oh Oh – oh Oh over again (although I really loved Whale so I’m not judging.). The point is that Yellow Ostrich went from a solo act with a backup band into a full-fledged ensemble and it’s frickin’ phenomenal.

The following tracks are fantastic and worth listening to over again.

I’ve been waiting all year to play this song on the last day of 2011. I may have put Little Hell as my #1 song of the on IAS - but this is it. This is the song that defines 2011.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates:

Michelle Bachmann:
"Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul:
"The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry:
"I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney:
"I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich:
"She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum:
"Is anyone saying same-​sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-​in-​law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann:
"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney:
"PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)
