De La Soldiers - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hearing De La Soul’s Kelvin Mercer, aka Posdnuos, and Vincent Mason, aka Maseo, talk about growing up in the ’70s and ’80s will certainly make you rethink their stomping grounds of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Long Island, but also the South. Beyond mere geography, there were elements of a Southern state of mind in and around that hotbed of hip-hop innovation that came to be known as “Strong Island.” It has come up in these pages before, when the Flyer interviewed another Strong Islander, Chuck D of
This Band is FAKE - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The word “fake” can mean a lot of things. It’s omnipresent today, typically opposed to “human,” “authentic,” or “artificial,” with AI-generated sounds pervading our environment ad nauseam. But long before AI, bands like The Monkees or The Archies were deemed ersatz in contrast to “real groups.” Then again, considering how deeply bubblegum music is revered by rock vinyl heads today, maybe “Monkees fake” is more in the affirmative, like a boxer’s feint to the left before walloping you with a radio
Star & Micey: Back in the Saddle - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the Flyer was casting about for great bands to play our Best of Memphis 2026 party, to be held at Loflin Yard on Wednesday, September 23rd, from 5:30-8:30 p.m., signing Black Cream up for the proceedings was a no-brainer. That genre-hopping trio has been a mainstay of the local scene in recent years, even selling out their recent show at The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. But then some news crossed our desks that we hadn’t anticipated: Star & Micey are back at it! This has been welcome news in
The Shell’s Sonic Saga - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s hard to keep up with someone as committed to Memphis music as David Less. First, there are his decades of writing for Rolling Stone, DownBeat, and others, or his tour de force from 2020, Memphis Mayhem, a deep history of the city’s music. Then there are the recording projects he oversees, as when Less handpicked some of today’s best young jazz players to create the 2024 album Playing in the Yard. Clearly, Less regularly checks the pulse of Memphis music, always making connections between wh
A Page Turns for Ardent Studios - Memphis Flyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Legal battles that have mired down Ardent Studios this year enter a new phase as of this week, bringing an ever-greater likelihood of the legendary recording facility regaining its momentum in the months to come. As Mark Twain might say, reports of Ardent’s death, widely insinuated via news articles and social media posts since June, appear to have been greatly exaggerated. However, the death of another player in the tale is all too real. Mark Baranauskas, who’d assumed the name “Mark Danger,” w
