The Delta Saints

Album: Bird called Angola
By Tarryn Feldman




The former Bellmont University students create an electric soul tone with a gritty howling sound and call themselves The Delta Saints. Their recently released album, "Bird Called Angola," has brought blues to a whole new level. The lead singer ads a deep southern fire in the song "Momma" while the sweet sounds of the electric harmonica ignite off the other instruments. This bands instrumentals enhance the lyrics with their in-sync energy. Having the blues never felt so good.

Natalie Prass

"Your Fool"
By Tarryn Feldman




The songbird, Natalie Prass, has the most emotionally powerful voice since Patsy Cline. The song "Your Fool" relates to anyone who has loved and lost. Her timeless voice, weeping electric guitar, and sad bass sounds truly tell a story we have all been through. Her vocals make heartache hurt a little less.

HEYPENNY

"CopCar"

By Tarryn Feldman






This three man band just really does it for me. To hear the song "Copcar" one time just is not enough. It will make you want to crank up the volume and dance around wherever you are. HEYPENNY'S retro 80's pop rock persona meshes oh so perfectly with their fast paced vocals and instrumental genius. From their music videos to the way they package their CD's, HEYPENNY creates their own category. Category of AWESOME!!!!!

Traditional Ink, located in the heart of Hollywood, has been referred to as “a real traditional tattoo parlor.” Owner Brandyn Feldman has spent his entire tattooing career learning the history of the art form and collecting as much memorabilia as he could. He has traveled all over the world collecting old flash, pictures, and historic tattoo machines. Fame was never a goal for Feldman. He respected the legacy that was formed years ago by tattooist like Norm “Sailor Jerry” Collins and Rick Walters. It’s no surprise where his inspiration comes from with his classic flash designs and old school techniques. From the moment you step foot in the shop, it bring s you back in time to the 1940’s with a sea of custom traditional flash covering every inch of wall space while the air blows the sounds of Johnny Cash. “I was born to tattoo, I was born to make flash, I was born to build tattoo machines! I’m a tattooer and I will be til’ the day I die.”(Brandyn Feldman) Traditional Ink is 100% an old-school parlor in the best sense of the term.




Feldman along the way developed a love for tattoo machines and started building his own by hand. “Every tattoo machine is carefully made with precision, love, and a little magic.”(Brandyn Feldman) All parts are made in house to make sure the quality is the very best. “I want to thank you again for a great tattoo machine. I can honestly say it is the smoothest running machine I have ever had. Most importantly, it delivers maximum color and minimum effort while staying cool.” (Dave Gibson) The tattoo industry is a hard industry to be in but Feldman will never give up his craft. “My father instilled insane work ethic in me and was always proud of who he was. I definitely carry that with me every day and it helps me keep my head strong.” (Brandyn Feldman) Although he lives in Los Angeles, he will be guest spotting at some of Nashville’s best tattoo shops in December 2010 so make your appointments now!

Ghostland Observatory

Ghostland Observatory

By Tarryn Feldman





A crowd of silence left in the dark waiting in patience for the band to come on stage. The band, which doesn’t consider themselves a band but an agreement between two friends to create amazing music, met seven years ago and have been rockin’ ever since. Both residing in Texas, the music makers travel the world leaving many fans in the dark at first. A cloud of smoke is released from the stage as lights begin to flicker. I look around and all my eyes can focus on is the sea of glow sticks and glittery faces staring back at me as I stand in the pit so insignificantly. A sudden burst of screams roar over me as I turn to see a man walk out on stage. He has long brown hair and is wearing black sun glasses with an “I’m ready to Rock” attitude. This is Aaron Berhens. Another man wearing a cape walks out and sits at his piano like he walked into a cafĂ© and sat at a table totally unaware of the insane amount of energy less than ten feet away from him. This is Thomas Turner. Then the unthinkable happens….FUCKING LAZERS!!!!!! My first Ghostland Observatory Show-
