...when Viglione met singer/songwriter Amanda Palmer at a Halloween party, an appropriate beginning for a duo that draws partial inspiration from the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” for their image. Viglione, however, began drumming when he was five, inspired by his father, who was a drummer and carpenter. Although not a college graduate himself, Viglione is no stranger to Harvard or to speaking for college students. In his spare time, Viglione has been giving workshops at both high schools and colleges to inspire a next generation of musicians. This was the second workshop Viglione has held...
DIED. Bobby Rosengarden, 82, session drummer for artists from Duke Ellington to Harry Belafonte who became better known in the late 1960s as the musical smart aleck and bandleader on The Dick Cavett Show; in Sarasota, Fla. Rosengarden perfected the art of the witty, and sometimes risqu, "walk-on" song to accompany guests.

...have an anomaly on the space radar” flash across the screen, band members rock out in low-G. But lest you think this is all fun and games, a red-suited space rogue (played by Pat Mahoney, the band’s drummer), soon arrives to threaten peace and stability on Mother Moon.

...More and more people are taking Guimaraes' advice this year as carnival returns to its roots and the street parties that were once the staple of the pre-Lenten festival. Until the 1980s, Rio's big samba schools paraded through the city center, their dancers, drummer and floats feted on all sides by enthusiastic revelers. But when the celebration moved to Oscar Niemeyer's sambadrome in 1984, it marked the beginning of the end for the spontaneous carnival of the people. Authorities began selling tickets to what had been a free show, pricing out many. Corporate clients reserved large parts...
...other work. Guitarists Ryan Ross and Chad Gilbert still treat the palm mute like a magic trick, and vocalists Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz wield the same saccharine croon. Granted, the disc is stuffed with studio effects; I’d be shocked to learn that the drummer can keep time without a click track or that the vocalists can keep pitch without three producers and Auto-Tune. Yet this is the band’s formula, and they follow it well throughout the record. In many ways, the group recalls Huey Lewis and The News circa 1983; rockers uncomfortable...
