Knovo Will Have You Jumping Over Barrels for “Dizzy Kong”

The Alchemist

Five-piece dreamy jazzy synth-rock group, Knovo ends 2020 like its Summer 1981 with the release of retro looking, sounding, and feeling, “Dizzy Kong.”  While the song wasn’t exactly programmed on a vintage Game Boy, it all was retrofitted into an 8-bit music video by pixel artist and animator, Mikey Arias. Fronted by Gena Photiadis and TJ Turqman, Knovo offers a unique sound that blend traditional and nontraditional musical elements stemming from the band members’ diverse backgrounds. The funky vibes of “Dizzy Kong” are accented by drummer Matt Tredwell, guitarist Nikhel Sus, and the lyrics and crystalline vocal styling of Tula Pisano. The track was engineered by Tonal Park (Takoma Park, MD) staff recording and mix engineer Don Godwin and produced by NYC area musicians and producers Graham Doby & Dylan Kaminkow.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
