John has written for Albany-area alt-music magazine of yore BUZZ, Goldmine Magazine, and various punk and metal ‘zines. He enjoys loud music, zombie movies, watching his bird feeder, homebrewing, the Red Sox, lawyering and hiding from the plague with his wife, voice talent Donna Frank, until he can go see loud music played live again. Until then, an occasional pint of Guinness will do.

Flogging Molly, Violent Femmes, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and Thick at SPAC

John Moore Sep 21, 2021
This here was an eclectic, punky mix of music on a beautifully moonlit Sunday night at SPAC, with Flogging Molly, Violent Femmes, Me First and The Gimme Gimmes, and Thick. The venue had hosted hordes in their thousands for Dave…

Flashback: Motörhead, Nashville Pussy, The Supersuckers and Speedealer at Northern Lights –…

John Moore Jun 28, 2021
Motörhead are one of the great metal bands of legend, with a long history of playing multiple gigs throughout the State dating back to their first US tour in 1981: New York City, Poughkeepsie, Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo – these cities…

Flashback: Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica at Glens Falls Civic Center – April 27, 1986

John Moore Apr 27, 2021
It is rare to see an arena rock show where the headliner gets completely overshadowed by the opening band. It is even rarer when that headliner is a legendarily mighty live performer like ex-Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, with…

Flashback: Voivod, Soundgarden and Faith No More on St. Patrick’s Day 1990 at L’Amour in Brooklyn

John Moore Mar 17, 2021
St. Patrick’s Day is normally for pints of Guinness, Irish music, parades, and indeed in New York City that was the case in 1990, as always before the plague temporarily swept all that away. The Pogues had played a Friday night gig…

Saratoga Winners welcomes Armored Saint and M-16 on this day in 1988

John Moore Feb 17, 2021
On Wednesday, February 17, 1988, 33 years ago tonight, the ‘headbangingest band in L.A.’, Armored Saint, played a gig at Saratoga Winners in Latham, NY. At the time, the band were touring their great third record, ‘Raising Fear’, on…

Flashback to January 25, 1990: Voivod join Soundgarden at The Chance in Poughkeepsie

John Moore Jan 25, 2021
A killer double-bill of Soundgarden and Voivod took place 31 years ago today on January 25, 1990 at The Chance in Poughkeepsie. Actually, it was a triple-bill, a band called The Big F opened, but there was some pretty intense fog. We got…

Hearing Aide: Lost Breed ‘Speak No Evil’

John Moore Jan 21, 2021
2020 was a year (mostly) devoid of live music, and you’d expect that it should have been full of new music, right? Not as much as you’d think, I’ve found, but this heavy release from Lost Breed, which snuck out near the end of that…

Flashback to Jan. 11, 1988 – Dio, Megadeth and Savatage at Glens Falls Civic Center

John Moore Jan 10, 2021
While a lineup of Dio, Megadeth and Savatage may sound like a great 80s metal triple-bill now, 33 years later, this show, in terms of ticket sales, was a flop. The late, great Ronnie James Dio is rightfully heralded as a virtual deity…

Flashback to December 8, 1987: Anthrax, Celtic Frost and Exodus at Mid-Hudson Civic Center

John Moore Dec 8, 2020
Nineteen eighty-seven was undoubtedly “the year of the Anthrax.” The Queens thrash metal band released their third album, Among The Living, which elevated them from underground thrash metal heroes to wider acclaim.  The first show…

Flashback: November 28, 1986 – Metallica and Metal Church at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center

John Moore Nov 28, 2020
Metallica and Metal Church played the night after Thanksgiving in 1986, and the Mid-Hudson Civic Center was sold out.  In years following the Mid-Hudson was usually open floor but this show was seated, which killed the vibe a bit, but did…
