...Formed in 1994, partly in response to the noise-driven, retaliatory grunge music that dominated airwaves at the time, Low stripped its sound down to barely a whisper, producing fragile songs for a series of independent labels. Comprised of husband-wife team Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, along with bassist Zak Sally, the band continues to produce songs that tell of a secret turmoil. Probably the most recognizable pioneer of “slowcore” (a sonically lethargic genre that also includes acts like Bedhead and Codeine), Low’s sad songs have long served as an emotional...
Green Day singer-guitarist, Billie Joe Armstrong, once proclaimed in song, "I'm a smart-ass, but I'm playing dumb," and for many years his performance was seamless. Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool met in their late teens and displayed natural gifts for propulsive, funny, disposable punk-pop songs about masturbation and alienation. In 1994 Dookie, their first major-label album, sold 10 million copies. Multimillionaires at 22, the members of Green Day settled into a routine of churning out blink-and-they're-over records followed closely by triumphant world tours. They were not quite...
...Cuban millionaire publisher who lost his fortune when the family fled Fidel Castro's revolution in 1960, Cristina is driven to succeed. By 1979, blind ambition catapulted her to the editorship of Cosmopolitan en Espa??ol.

Avila says he doesn't know the dollar worth of his wife or their business, Cristina Saralegui Enterprises, though he acknowledges it is in the millions of dollars. "This is a sort...
Warren, along with Mike J. Palmer ’03 (guitarist and Eliot House alum), Andy C. Eggers ’99 (drummer/mandolinist and Mather alum) and Altay Guvench ’03 (bassist and Pforzheimer House alum) has constructed a group of strikingly diverse tracks, which share an underpinning sensibility and a roots-rock/Americana vibe that never sounds derivative despite occasional homage to early Wilco, Son Volt or Uncle Tupelo...
After Carlisle had finished her (mostly) solo set, Russell Wolff and his band (comprised of another guitarist, bassist and drummer) took the stage—such as it is—and proceeded to perform a relatively homogenous selection of vocally quirky but musically conventional pop-country tunes, occasionally sounding like a softened Old 97s. Wolff and his group, though not the most musically talented band on the scene nor the most lyrically eloquent, was nonetheless quite engaging and fun. Wolff did repeatedly reference the nature of the venue (“damn it feels good to be back...
