Concert Review – Tennis at the Riviera Chicago
The venerable old performance venue did not suddenly start to host a sporting event. The band Tennis, a Colorado-based indie-pop duo performed a well-received show on Friday night in support of their new album Pollen. Alaina Moore, whose high-pitched vocals reminded me of Bjork or Kate Bush told the enthusiastic crowd that the last time they played the Riv was in 2013 as a support act for the band Haim. Tennis:…

Concert Review – The Beths at Thalia Hall
Eric Leventhal also contributed to this story. New Zealand quartet The Beths played two sold-out shows at Chicago’s Thalia Hall this weekend. The second show was added due to overwhelming demand. We arrived at the venue shortly before doors opened, and the line was around the block. The Beths are comprised of Elizabeth Stokes on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, her co-founder Jonathan Pearce on lead guitar, plus Benjamin Sinclair playing…
An Interview with Mamalarky
Recently, we went downtown to catch a show at Schuba’s Tavern. The headliner act, Mamalarky, is incredibly hard to pin down. They have elements of Indie Rock, and of Psychedelic Pop, but don’t fit neatly into either genre. There’s a wondrous, captivating thread of Avant Garde that weaves in and out of their music, stitching together the lush vocals, rocking rhythms, and jazzy chord progressions. I discovered them in October, and…

Why We Don’t Play Christmas Music on Christmas Anymore
You can’t escape it. On the radio, in the stores, at the airport and train stations. Christmas music, it’s everywhere. Sometimes, right after Thanksgiving, or even earlier these days. But not on Acid Flashback radio. How did that come to be? December 24, 1977, a Saturday, was my first ever day on the air. I…

3D’s 2023 Musical Memorial Tribute PtI
I’m Uncle Marty on The 3D RadioActivity number 691 with Daytona as we observe part one of our Musical Memorial Day Tribute to the memory of the artists who have left us in the past year or so by playing cuts from their discography.
Further RadioActive Hz
It was a couple of years ago that your Uncle Marty and wingman Daytona were aching, bruised sore and stiff with this feature, however there were over a hundred more Blues, Folk, Soul and other songs that fit the bill so this time on The 3D RadioActivity adventure 690, say Ahhh and we’ll tell you where it HURTS.
More 3D Reasons
Daytona Airedale is here along with your Uncle Marty, on our 689th gathering, as we again are in search of establishing proper grounds and justifications for this presentation. Here’s my two cents worth of why we are giving you MORE REASONS to listen to and like The 3D RadioActivity.
Sorry RadioActivity II
Your Uncle Marty is here with DaytonAiredale on The 3D RadioActivity, chapter 688. We sincerely apologize, imploring you to help us recognize and avoid our shortcomings in so that we are able to pardon our transgressions by truly saying this is Sorry RadioActivity II

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Sabre Dance” by Woody Herman & His Second Herd
Everyone knows this catchy tune composed in 1942 by Aram Khachaturian for his ballet “Gayane.” Although, you’ve probably never heard this song within the context of the ballet, but, more appropriately, as background music to some zany competition on a 1960s game show. This recording is from 1948 performed by big band leader, clarinetist,…

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Little Latin Lupe Lu” by The Righteous Brothers

But they could rock out too as evidenced by this Bill Medley original that was not only a hit for them (#47/1963) but also The Kingsmen (#49/1964) and Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels…
