DuJour: Zac Farro Is More Than The Drummer From Paramore
I truly believe that magic happens during a live concert. There has to be magic for an audience to fully lose themselves in an artist’s words or a beat or a moment. According to Zac Farro, drummer of iconic pop rock band Paramore, and frontman of experimental musical project HALFNOISE, there is less and less magic during live shows and he is out to conjure that fading light. “People tend to wait for the song they know and they expect the band to play it,” he says of certain live shows.

Midtown Social Pays Tribute to The Stud (Famous SF Queer Venue)
Sun-soaked California retro-soul band Midtown Social unites a fractured San Francisco with a love letter to its hometown on their latest studio album, Fantastic Colors, due out nationwide on Valentine’s Day 2020. While San Francisco undergoes swells of monumental change to the point of rendering the city unrecognizable, Midtown Social offers a compassionate reflection of its true love for San Francisco with Fantastic Colors. Midtown Social drops four singles leading up to the release of Fantastic Colors with their latest track “Savoir Faire” set for release on Friday, September 27, 2019.
“Bad Love” is a melancholic, dark pop song that revels in minor keys while Mariel Loveland’s clear and emotive vocals tell the universal story of poor decisions turning into bad love. “Honestly, my entire life, I’ve wondered who the heck is the type of person that drinks cocktails at hotels in Manhattan. Yet, I somehow found myself there, stirring the ice in my $20 cocktail and thinking about why I’m always following the type of love that I know is going to hurt me,” she admits introspectively. Currently working on new music, the follow-up to her debut EP ICE CREAM ANTI-SOCIAL (2017), Loveland is diving even deeper into indiepop, a move that may surprise some old fans of her former band Candy Hearts. What she has created is music that has more in common with Jenny Lewis and Carly Rae Jepson than Paramore
