Imperfect Fifth

In music theory, the imperfect fifth, also known as the wolf fifth, Procrustean fifth, or diminished fourth, is a dissonant interval that covers seven semitones. It's considered a unique musical phenomenon. This term caught my interest for several specific reasons, particularly when I was drafting motions for a lawyer and getting lost in complex legal language.

Petoskey, Michigan bred folk-rock quartet – expertly comprised of Graham Young, Adam Reed, Christian Wilder, and Anthony Audia – is probably showing up close to you sometime soon. They mounted a three-month tour in February, and don’t show any signs of slowing down. We got a few minutes to catch up with lead singer Graham Young ahead of their March 12th show in Kansas City. _____Was there a moment when you realized you wanted to pursue music as more than a hobby?

Brooklyn-based indie pop collective The Davenports – masterminded by multi-instrumentalist Scott Klass and a rotating cast of artists – has been riding high off of critical acclaim over their fifth album, You Could’ve Just Said That, and for good reason. Klass’ mastery of the production process – from concept to recording and mixing – is on full display, as it is the first release charmingly self-recorded at home.
kendrick lamar gives momentum to black history month and the revolution with halftime show

Last night, the Philadelphia Eagles won The Big Game. While there was so much about the game that gave me goosebumps, electrified, and, honestly, inspired, the most exciting part for me – and for many – was the halftime show. For fear of being too petty (re: my issues with the Chiefs organization being too financially and outwardly supportive of the color orange, their players and families openly supporting the current regime, Butker, Swift, etc.), I’m going to spare you most of my thoughts.
dickie's "shakes you" won't rattle your confidence

Dec 17, 2024 | imperfectfifth.com | Meredith Schneider

Dick Prall is a sentimental man. The Iowa-based indie rock singer-songwriter has been going by the nickname his mother affectionately knew him by, Dickie, for the last decade as he’s unraveled his genius on the world. His talents have led him in a variety of directions musically over the last few years, but the same heart is at the center of every piece. Dickie’s latest offering, Head Full of Hiss, is an EP that is equal parts honest and beautiful.

Oct 12, 2024 | imperfectfifth.com | Meredith Schneider

Have we mentioned that day 2 at Riot Fest 2024 was hot as hell? And The Hives had the audacity to come out on stage and act like we weren’t all absolutely falling over under the heat of the midday sun. In their full, black and white suits, they ran around the stage like it was the 90s, absolutely reinvigorating the worn-out afternoon crowd. Every single person who walked away from this set had a massive smile, which isn’t a common situation at a festival that melts faces like this one.
the vandals put on an epic show at riot fest 2024

Oct 12, 2024 | imperfectfifth.com | Meredith Schneider

If Spiderman is yelling at you and insulting you right before you go on stage, what is your response? Punk rock band The Vandals chose to have a discourse with the front-row troll shortly before their set on Sunday, and then proceeded to show him — and a giant crowd — that they were still entirely as full of vim and vigor as they were when they started in 1980. Epic performance by an incredible band.

Oct 12, 2024 | imperfectfifth.com | Meredith Schneider

Richmond-bred heavy metal outfit — and our Lords — GWAR took the stage on Sunday to an excitable crowd at Riot Fest 2024. While the rain had died down for the day, people closer to the pit donned ponchos and rain gear. This wasn’t because of the forecast, but because of the GWAR juice that the band is known for, this time in the form of blood immediately raining down at the beginning of their set. These guys are some serious fun. Highlights below.

Sep 30, 2024 | imperfectfifth.com | Meredith Schneider

Indie musical project Waxahatchee brought their soothing sounds to the stage at Riot Fest 2024. As a nice night two nightcap for many, they helped to bring the pace to a slower place, regulating nervous systems across Douglass Park. With a name that comes from lead singer and brainchild Katie Crutchfield’s beloved Waxahatchee Creek adventures from childhood, you already know you’re going to be in good company with this band and their fanbase.

Sep 30, 2024 | imperfectfifth.com | Meredith Schneider

Supergroup L.S. Dunes brought their high-octane energy to the stage on day 2 at Riot Fest 2024. Having wandered the grounds earlier in the day with their new music, lead singer Anthony Green (Circa Survive/Saosin/The Sound of Animals Fighting) drummed up some excitement around their set. This was the only set we caught in its entirety of the festival. Crowd participation was noticeable, and a larger audience was drawn throughout their performance as people began to notice the artistry on stage.
