History doesn’t foretell too much in the case of Baby Tears. The noise-rock trio from Omaha, Neb., possesses an unpredictable track record of gigs that makes it impossible to pinpoint exactly where the next one will go. “There is no typical show with us,” said guitarist/vocalist Todd VonStup. “It’s unstructured in a good sense. Sometimes […]

Starlight, star bright
Despite the name, indie quartet Starlight Girls is only half female. Its first proper music video was 100-percent girlie, however, with a buffet of unicorn horns, lollipops and sickeningly cute Lisa Frank leopards. “That video was a lot of fun,” said singer Christina B. “We shot it in about two hours, so it was a […]

Heart of the city
“Eighty percent of cardiovascular disease and stroke is preventable through healthy lifestyle,” said Shawna Garcia, senior corporate market director at the American Heart Association. “It’s just about making the right changes.” Garcia pointed out that Oklahoma ranks at the bottom of the barrel for fruit and vegetable consumption.

Wreck the halls
Few bands enjoy the level of versatility hard-rock vets Staind do. “Roundness is helpful in all aspects of life, I think,” front man Aaron Lewis said. “We could definitely play a game of ‘you throw out the style, and we write a song to fit that.’” Trouble brewed, however, as that game increasingly disregarded the […]
