Hello from Mackenzie I’ve got two words for you, friends: Spazz Fest.

For nine years, the high energy, rowdy festival has given a platform to local bands from eastern North Carolina and beyond. It’s back in full force — with a fierce four day and four night lineup full of the same raucous energy it’s always known. Inside, we’ve got a one-stop shop for all things Spazz.

Check out page 10 for a venue guide and full schedule of the weekend. Also check out the. Lonnie Walker, a band now operating out of Raleigh. It was one of the first bands to play at Spazz Fest and it is returning to it’s Greenville roots to headline at Crossbones Tavern at night two of the festival. Read about how they all started on page 8.

Also, Spazz Fest isn’t the only festival happening this spring. Make sure popular festival Pirate Fest is on your radar. Full of music and local vendors, it’s a can’t miss event. Also, the Dogwood Festival in Farmville is back in late April.

On another note, it’s Springtime, and that means it could be time to start figuring out your living arrangements. Have no fear; we’re here for you. From student housing to young professional rental properties in the grid and beyond, it’s all right here in Mixer.

Enjoy & Thanks for reading!

Out The The Out

of Limits AN EXCLUSIVE Q&A

W

e sat down with The Out of Limits, a fun, local and quirky surf-rock band, to talk about their music. You can catch them wearing aluminum foil hats and glow in the dark accessories at Trollingwood Taproom and Brewery on March 23 to celebrate Spazz Fest IV!

Q: What is “The Out of Limits?”

in concordance with complex juxtapositions of Dempster-Shafer theory and Bayesian probability. That’s a gross oversimplification, but we hope your readers will forgive us our reverence for succinct elucidation.

A: A verbal expression that cannot be understood merely by knowing the individual meanings of its elements. It’s almost an anacoluthon, but not exactly. It might be best described as a misworded, logomachical morpheme. By sheer convergence of random variables, it experiences a phonetic reciprocity with the title of a television series whose popularity (and daring honesty about the hostile alien forces that were seizing control of the entertainment industry) inspired several instrumental rock bands of the 1960s to perform and record variations of its theme song.

Q: Who are you guys? Where are you from?

A: Answering either of those questions with any degree of veracity would necessarily undermine the function of our collective association. Our individual identities become increasingly difficult to particularize in corroborative terms, and as the deterioration of spatial applicability continues to accelerate, the conceit of location has become inimical to a robust, aggregate cognizance.

Q: What do your outfits mean?

That’s a gross oversimplification, but we hope your readers will forgive us our reverence for succinct elucidation.

A: That we are, as the kids say, “woke AF”. When not in close proximity of loud, fast instrumental rock music, we recommend that all fellow humans who seek to preserve some infinitesimal modicum of independence from our shadowy alien overlords wear protective gear. In order of effectiveness from least protective to most, headgear options are: Tinfoil > Aluminum Foil > Colander.

Q: How did your band begin? When did it start?

Oh, and it’s the name of our band, as well. The extent to which there exists any frequentist inference tethering our adoption of said name to the aforementioned instrumental rock bands of the 1960s is debatable, but only if framed

A: As anatomists of the synchronistic interdependence of absolute simultaneity and the ontological infallibility of eternalistic unitary elements, we find it increasingly difficult, perhaps even wearyingly offensive, to be asked to accommodate chrononormative queries such as these, the

resulting explication of which would by necessity be the conformal and hieratical equivalent of the black hole information paradox. That we simply are is the safest and most honest answer we can provide at this time.

Q: What do you guys believe?

A: We do not believe. Neither do we know. We do

our best to discern the reality, or absence thereof, in which we find ourselves, by means of a methodical application of determining that which evidence supports, and that which evidence does not. As of this moment, evidence most strongly supports three conditions which come closest to achieving the human fiction that is fact: 1) The Earth is simultaneously flat and hollow; 2) The Anunaki Reptilians control, manipulate, and manufacture nearly every facet of human existence, with the Earth’s “moon” being their mothership; 3) Music containing vocals is the Anunaki’s primary means of mind control.

6

Q: What kind of music do you play?

A: Our music closely resembles a form of instrumen-

tal rock and roll developed in the mid-20th century in response to the infiltration of the music industry by the Reptillians and their human slaves. Often labeled “surf music” or “surf rock,” its characteristic twangy, reverb-drenched guitars and danceable, high energy rhythms in fact had little to do with aesthetic considerations, and were in fact meticulously researched and actualized as an effective means of encrypting the minds of both musician and listener from external intrusion.

Q: What does the public need to know about?

A: That we will be playing Friday, March 23rd at Troll-

ingwood Taproom & Brewery as part of SPAZZFEST IX.

KEEPING THE ‘SPAZZ’ ALIVE

BY MACKENZIE TEWKSBURY mtewksbury@reflector.com

A

large building in the shadows of Dickinson Avenue was once the heart of a group of local musicians and music lovers with the drive and talent to create something special.

The space, fully equipped with blown-out speakers, a catwalk-style loft above the stage and scribbles on the walls, came to be known as the Spazzatorium. It was the creative hub for an underground music scene that just wanted to play music. It was shuttered by large blinds and to the average bystander, the fact that a building nestled on Dickinson Avenue housed such a thing would’ve came as a complete shock. But when the truth of what was happening in this building eventually came to light, the Spazzatorium was shut down. But, as the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens — and that was just the beginning of the spazz.

The same spirit that once echoed through the blown speakers and the dirty walls now thrives on stage at Crossbones Tavern or parking lots at Christy’s Euro Pub every March at what’s known as Spazz Fest.

‘ORIGINAL SPAZZ’ TO RETURN FOR SPAZZ FEST IX

BY MACKENZIE TEWKSBURY mtewksbury@reflector.com

with them a hint of nostalgia but a lot of energy.

“It’s nostalgic, a blast from the past,” Corum said. “There’s still a lot of love there after all the years.”

Lonnie Walker seems to have grassroots beginnings, as Corum explained he was playing solo as Lonnie Walker and recording solo songs before collaborating with Robinson and uploading the recordings to then-popular MySpace and GarageBand. Then, while connections kept on unfolding with Hill, Finn and Robinson, the music just never stopped.

“We had common connections and we vibed musically,” Corum said. “There was never like a moment where we decided we were gonna be a band for almost 15 years.”

But that’s exactly what happened for the ECU graduates.

The band often plays at Raleigh venues like Kings and Pour House Music Hall and recently sold out a show at The Lincoln Theater. However, Corum said Greenville will always hold a special place in the band’s heart. And even though Greenville has changed a lot since they were college students — most of the restaurants and bars they once knew are now completely different — they remain excited to return to the place where the music was born.

W

hen a group of art students met in an intermediate photography class at East Carolina University in the early 2000s, it sparked a future none of them expected.

Now, that same group of art students and their friends — Brian Corum, Eric Hill, Raymond Finn and Mike Robinson — are the musical talents of the band Lonnie Walker. They perform all over Raleigh, but their origin is deeply rooted in Spazz Fest.

“It’s where we came from, it’s where we started,” Corum, vocalist of the band said.

The group formed shortly after meeting at East Carolina University, and Lonnie Walker is one of the first groups to ever perform at Spazz Fest nearly 10 years ago. In previous years, they’ve shared the lineup with Future Islands, Matt Phillips and the Philharmonics and Zack Mexico. They return this year to headline at Crossbones Tavern, and they bring

IT’S LIKE GOING BACK TO THE OLD COLLEGE HANG OUT ...

“It’s like going back to the old college hang out,” Corum said.

“Maybe I’ll check out 519,” guitarist Eric Hill added with a laugh.

Hill said those interested in going to the festival should not be quick to rule out the quality of it. The festival brings impressive music from all over the east coast to the bars and music venues of Greenville, and Hill said it’s more than worth the money.

“People have a tendency to not think of Greenville to have cool things like Spazz Fest,” Hill said. “Experience it for yourself. It’s a really cool event.”

With years of Spazz experience under his belt, Corum offered a very simple piece of advice to those choosing to embark on the four-day adventure.

“Stay hydrated. It’s gonna be a long night,” Corum laughed.

Lonnie Walker performs at Crossbones Tavern at 9 p.m. at Friday, March 23 with Nana Grizol, Loamlands and Paperhaus. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

THINGS TO

REMEMBER

Before signing a lease, there are many things to consider. It can be overwhelming and important questions can easily be overlooked. Here are some questions you may want to ask your landlord before deciding on an apartment or house.

QUESTIONS: What payments method do you accept for rent?

Where and when is it paid?

What is the late fee policy?

What is the subleasing policy?

Do they allow early-lease terminations?

What is procedure for submitting a maintenance request?

Who makes repairs? How long does it take?

Is there a 24-hour maintenance policy?

How is the crime in the neighborhood?

Any history of break-ins?

Are there any issues with bugs/rodents?

What are extermination policies?

What utilities are included with the property?

What is a “normal” estimate for what utility bills?

Do you change the locks between each tenant?

Is it pet friendly?

What is the parking situation?

Before moving your belongings, it’s vital that you check that your new home is safe to live in by inspecting the rented property. Take a look around your new place and make notes of anything that may be damaged (both with photos and in writing) or in need of repair.

KEEP IN MIND: Make sure carpets are cleaned and without stains or tears. Make sure tiles are not missing or scuffed.

Make sure no window panes are broken and you can actually open them.

Make sure all electrical outlets and smoke outlets are working. Flick all light switches to ensure they work.

Make sure all heat and air conditioning units work efficiently. Check to see if the filters have been changed.

Check every lock.

Check for any scratches or chipped paint on walls, floors or ceilings.

Make sure there are no leaks of any kind. Check water pressure.

Look for any insects/rodents.

Provide your landlord with a detailed description and make sure to keep one for yourself.

This will help you ensure your new home is suitable to live in!

CONTINUED STORY FROM P. 7

Jeff Blinder, leader of the festival, has made a point of keeping the Spazz spirit alive, and with the help of volunteers, local music venues and bands, it continues on March 22 for it’s ninth year. Blinder said the festival brings bands from all over the east coast to Greenville, and while they may not be headliners, they are sure to bring a great time.

“I call it the Greenville way. A lot of the bands have shown they can kick ass and Greenville is responding well,” Blinder said.

Jordan Finn, a long-time Spazz Fest fan, said that’s exactly why he keeps going back to Spazz Fest. He said you won’t likely know the name of the band when they are playing at Spazz Fest, but give it a few years, and then everyone will.

“That’s what I love about Spazz. It’s just like, “Who are these guys? Let me pop into this bar.’ And then your mind is blown.”

Blinder said he wants to make sure the festival has something for everyone.

Whatever genre of music the listener likes, he is likely to find a venue that has it. The festival is high-energy there is always something going on. While there’s a show at Crossbones, there’s a whole different kind of showing playing down the street at Trollingwood Taproom and Brewery, and an even more different kind of band playing across the street at Pitt Street Brewing Co. “It’s sensory overload,” Blinder said. “I mean, people even made shirts that say, ‘I survived Spazz Fest.’”
