ROUGE! are without a doubt an interesting couple of dudes. They unabashedly play by their own rules and let their passion and varied inspirations guide them. We sat down at the Dazzle Den and talked about their formation, how personal struggles offered musical inspiration and even a break-up that is literally ripped directly from a Seinfeld episode. We also talk a little about the Albany underground music scene and how the closing of some venues has impacted that.

ROUGE! on episode 109 of Unsigned518.

It's already been a long and dreary winter and it's still only January. That may be why I designed the cover of this episode to look like an ominous Stephen King novel (It is definitely why). With that said, there is a ton of great music in the area this weekend to help brighten these long nights. I pick just a few events, talk a little bit about them and play a song from a few 518 bands that you can catch this weekend.

Featuring music by Run Rabbit Run, Rusticator and ShortWave RadioBand

Mayheaven returns! Mayheaven was on an earlier episode of Unsigned518 (Episode 31) and has so much new stuff to talk about that it felt like he was a new artist. In addition to his solo work, he plays in Headless Relatives and Brule County Bad Boys. He has been building a very solid name for himself in the 518 and I expect the upcoming year will be no different. Check out Mayheaven on episode 108 of Unsigned18.

Andy and Chad Flewwelling (Host of 518BeatKeepers) sat down to share a beer at Bound by Fate in Schuylerville on the last day of 2023 to discuss the year behind and the year to come. They discuss what is coming for not only their respective podcasts, but with their bands as well. So, sit down, have a beer or your favorite NA beverage and enjoy this year end wrap with Chad and Andy.
