Happy Holidays and Hot 100!

Posted in Blog by Brooke Trout

Happy Holidays everyone! December marks a very special annual tradition at Music Connection where contributing writers get to nominate their favorite acts they’ve seen in the past year. A shout out goes to Brooke’s nomination the 205 Band for this year’s Hot 100 (p.36 at http://musicconnection.com/magazine/current-digital; check out their ad on page 57)! The band knocked Brooke’s socks off at The Viper Room. Falling somewhere between the Spin Doctors and Living Colour, the band exudes explosive energy, incredible musicianship and performing chops…and she would see them perform again in a heartbeat!

Brooke’s latest live concert review of The Slit is now live in this month’s edition of Music Connection. Check out the review on page 62 online here: http://musicconnection.com/magazine/current-digital. Special thanks to Matthew Belter for the use of his photo!

It’s hard to believe it has been 20 years since Brooke Trout moved to California! As part of a look back enjoy her zine “Hooked” in a Tumblr retrospective at http://retrohooked.tumblr.com/! You can anticipate two new issues a week through the next calendar year, we’re already up to 30 issues!
