Meet the Team Reviving Philly’s EDM Scene
It’s a quiet November night when Kai Wachi makes the second-to-last stop of his “Muscleville” tour in the City of Brotherly Love. Thanksgiving weekend sends Philadelphians home to the burbs for a tryptophan coma, the Eagles game enjoyed from sunken couches through half-shut eyes. One might expect this show to be a sleeper, but there’s a ghostly air blowing off the Delaware that says a storm is coming. The venue teems with headbangers as the Boise-born bass music producer takes the stage. Herein lies the intersection of wook and meathead. A pashmina-clad crowd sings, “electrify every cell, ‘cause I don’t wanna flatline” while visuals of skulls and flowers pulse from psychedelic swirls. Wachi’s signature, vicious blend of dubstep and metal drives the life-death motif unfolding. A...
New WHITESNAKE Bassist TANYA O’CALLAGHAN Says She Didn’t Get The Gig Because She Is A Woman: ‘I’ve Proven My Worth’
Tanya O’Callaghan says that she proved her worth before being chosen as the new bass player of WHITESNAKE. Last month, Tanya officially joined David Coverdale-fronted outfit as the replacement for longtime bassist Michael Devin whose departure was revealed a few days earlier. When asked in a new interview with For Bass Players Only what it means for her to be the first female musician to become a member of WHITESNAKE, Tanya said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I think luckily there’s a lot more prominent female players in general across music these days, which is great. Obviously, there’s not enough yet. For me, it’s always about normalizing. I don’t want it to be its own pedestal or male versus female or all-female this; I really just want it to ...

TED NUGENT To ALEC BALDWIN: ‘You Should Be In A Cage For The Rest Of Your Rotten Punk-Ass Life’
Ted Nugent says that Alec Baldwin should spend the rest of his life in prison for shooting and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film “Rust”. Earlier in the month, Baldwin made a surprising claim during his first major interview since the fatal shooting, saying that “the trigger wasn’t pulled” when a “live round” was discharged and ended up mortally wounding Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza in the October 21 tragedy. Nugent, who is the national spokesman for pro-hunting lobbying group Hunter Nation, touched upon the incident in a new interview with Rock Titan TV. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “There’s only one gun law you need on planet earth, and that is never point a weapon at anything ...

In Photos: Bands Featuring Sons of Metallica’s Hetflied, Ulrich, and Trujillo Team Up for San Francisco Gig
As part of Metallica’s “San Francisco Takeover” to mark their 40th anniversary, a handful of club gigs were announced to surround the metal titans’ massive shows at the Chase Center. One of those shows included three bands — OTTTO, Taipei Houston, and Bastardane — with each featuring at least one son of a Metallica member. The gig took place Saturday night (December 18th) at The Chapel, with Bastardane taking the stage first. Based out of Savannah, Georgia, the group features drummer Castor Hetfield, son of Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
