Underscore Orkestra Circus Bring Balkans, Banjos, and Belly Dancers to the Boom Boom Room
With Balkan rhythms, banjo women, belly dancers, the Underscore Orkestra comes across as some gypsy caravan who lost their way. One listen to their swinging East European sound and one would not be surprised to see a battered horse-drawn band wagon sitting in the parking lot rather than the usual dirty white van.

Crazy Is As Crazy Does: Meet Ronnie Radke and Falling In Reverse
Wow, if the key to success in pop music is a wack-job front man, Falling In Reverse should soon be topping the charts with Alice Cooper lookalike Ronnie Radke steering the ship. It is highly doubtful that a more self-centered, narcissistic singer has barged into rock and roll since Jim Morrison.
Radke did a little prison stretch for battery related to the death of Michael Cook in Las Vegas in 2006. He ended up with a sentence of five years probation, but by all accounts he was dealing with some narcotics issues at the time and failed to report, so the judge let him cool his heels in the joint for two years. During his incarceration, he was kicked out of his former band Escape The Fate, but even behind bars Radke was working on new songs, and hit the ground running with his new band when he was released in late 2010.
