It’s fairly clear to anyone who knows me, has seen this site, follows me on social media, etc. etc. that I’m just a wee bit slightly obsessed with this band out of the UK. It’s hard to describe them — they’re quite chameleon-like; each new release carries hints of the status quo, but with a big smack of ‘shakeup’,…

Psycho Las Vegas 2017…ah, such a delightful name! It really makes you want to pack your bags and head to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino during probably the most excruciatingly hot months of the year in the desert!? But that’s the allure of this festival. The point is to get fired up (figuratively AND literally) for behemoth acts including…

One of my favorites, Black Map just released their latest video from the momentum-forcing album “In Droves“. Don Jamieson and I sat down for an interview with frontman Ben Flanagan on their NYC pit stop recently. (A great show, by the way) They’ve been touring throughout the spring and summer; into the fall as well. Keep an eye out for…

“Heavy” and “twisted” death metal band Cannibal Corpse is back out on the road – heading to the US, with support from Power Trip and Gatecreeper. The experience kicks off November 3, 2017 in my old stomping ground, Jacksonville, Florida. (I started my reporting career at the local Fox station there 500 years ago) As is typical with these types…

Electro-alt rockers 9Electric will have a rotating quad of opening bands for their fall “Life is Beautiful” tour, adding a bit of local spice to the onstage recipe. “We thought about what Guns N Roses…have done with their tours by having different bands in different cities, and we thought it adds an extra level of excitement to the lineups” says…

Let’s just say, they’re not for the faint of heart. Australia’s metal maniacs King Parrot will be kicking off their US Tour in Austin, Texas 9/23. They’re joining Phil Anselmo‘s Superjoint and Santa Barbara boys DevilDriver for the run, which wraps in Orlando at the end of October. The tour comes at a perfect time for the Aussies, who…

John’s Wife aka Mrs. Juliet Huddy Fattoruso

As you may know, I’m now John Fattoruso’s ‘ol lady’. We met on Facebook. He used to watch me anchoring the early morning show on WNYW-TV (Fox5) in NYC. One morning, I made a snarky comment about Nickleback and Avril Lavigne (I love her) which he found hilarious. That was the impetus for him to friend request me. The rest…

We’re Baaaaack!

You might’ve noticed B&C took a little summer ‘siesta’ of sorts. Well… The “B” of B&C (me, Juliet Huddy) got married and went on a honeymoon (Mrs. Juliet Huddy Fattoruso, now!) (<and more on “Fattoruso” shortly…) We also took advantage of the Wedding Extravaganza to take stock of the first months of the website itself. We’ve been in ‘soft-launch’ mode…
