Dosed - local music fanzine

   If you have been to an Agatha Haag show in the last year or so you may have heard the name of a band mentioned right before their rendition of a song called "Thinkin Bout Lyin'". That name would be "Carrie Nation & The Speakeasy", a Witchita, KS based high octane 'brass grass' band that first caught my attention around 2016 after my not-so-subtle cannonball plunge into folk punk and its variety of culture and styles applied. It was 6 years after they had released their absolute masterpiece (debut) self-titled album. With songs like "Mamma's Little Baby", "Drunkle", "Stop Believing", and "Thinkin Bout Lyin'" I was hooked from the second I heard their conpositions, let alone the very Tom Waits-esk vocal style that I, so openly, adore.    They have 4 official studio releases all together (that I'm aware of). The aformentioned self-titled album (2010), Hatchetations (2013), Gnosis (2018), and their l...

     After writing about a few things for Dosed I decided to write about something a little closer to my heart. Something that shaped me into the musician and person that I am today. What seems like 2 lives ago sits a 3rd previous life that I had no idea would become the vague memory that it is today.    I found electronic music very early on. I had always been a Mortal Kombat fan so (of course) when I was 8 years old and the OG movie was released I HAD to see it. One night staying at my Grandparents house they rented it and for the very first time I heard the sounds of The Immortals, Bile, KMFDM, Psychosonik, and MANY more.    Though I had found something that I liked I didn't really "understand" it. It was there... but I was still in the primordial stage of classic rock, hair metal, oldies... the typical "I listen to what my parents listen to" era. So, thinking about anything that wasn't simply guitars, drums, bass, and a keyboard didn't have a very...

  Last week we here at Dosed had the opportunity to talk shop with a band yall ain't ready for. From their transcendental guitar work, scale driven bass work, larger than life rhythm, and all the way to their psychedelic inspired lyricism they are certain to turn every head in every room that they fill with sound. We also got to spend a couple of evenings with them the last 2 nights and I can speak for the whole crew when I say... "we're gonna need some more Black Moon Cult as soon as possible." Enjoy the very short-hand version of their incredible story. Q -1 : What is black doomba records, where is it located, how did you get hooked up with them and what does your signing with them entail? A - 1 : Black Doomba Records is an Independent Record Label based in Atlanta, GA that specializes in Heavy Psych/Stoner Rock/Doom Metal releases! After the release of our debut single "Supernova" last year on TeePee records, we were in search of a full-term record deal f...

We here at Dosed had the opportunity to sit down with a man who has skyrocketed in the last couple of years. He is a beatboxer at the heart and soul ... but an absolute shredder on the guitar as well. He has coined his very own genre of music called "beatbox metal". With many influences, a sound as tight as dolphin ass, and a stacked schedule we were very privileged to have some of his time to talk about his very unique craft. Q - 1 : Ok, well... first and foremost, introduce yourself and tell us about Shattered Dreams. Specifically how you and the killaz got acquainted. A : I'm Beatbox Jake.  I am a guitarist and beatboxer and a founding member of Shattered Dreams Entertainment.  I actually met Bio Killaz and the whole Hillsdale scene by a fluke.  Some woman I've never heard of messaged me out of nowhere one day asking if I wanted to play a show in Hillsdale (which I also had never heard of).  I googled it and was pretty floored.  I had never performed an hou...
