Following a time-honored tradition, Mystery of Two are colliding art and punk.

Every Saturday evening in February (starting this weekend and continuing the 13th, 20th and 27th),

We were talking about music and language—specifically about his upcoming recital of Telemann’s flute fantasies with Laura Perrotta reciting William Shakespeare—but I had to ask about another art form.

The Warped Tour celebrated its 15th year yesterday in the Flats with a 10-hour extravaganza featuring 73 bands on seven stages. The weather was perfect, with the heat rising off the asphalt grounds alleviated by a nice breeze off the river. Onstage, it was a typically Warped smorgasbord of acts running the gamut of punk and hard-rock styles, with brief glimpses of rap and the occasional forays into pop. But by and large, this year’s tour was a celebration of aggression with plenty of loud

The Kings of the Iron Mic showcases are a staple at the Grog Shop, happening every three to four months. Nappyhead Entertainment — spearheaded by George Goins a.k.a. rapper Poohmanchu, along with cohorts Uncle Lyn, Mike Knowledge and Jules — started organizing the shows 10 years ago to feature multi-act lineups of local and regional rappers, MCs, street poets, spoken-word artists and R&B singers and to provide exposure to a scene that doesn’t offer a lot of opportunities for live
