THE BLOG LIVES!!


A zombie selfie from 2014. It felt relevant .



Greetings! Yes, this blog still exists. I've been away for a while, working on a variety of film and video projects, as well starting up a new band.

All of these things are still happening, but I've missed having a space to post my reviews and other writings. I've also been composing a good deal of poetry, and I think I'll start uploading some of those as well.  Why not? This is my little chunk of the digital landscape, I'll do with it what I see fit.

So expect to see lots of new content on this page very soon. Until then, here's the social media links to some of the projects I have going:

First off, there's DEAD AIR, a short horror film I wrote and co-produced. We shot it over the course of two weekends in September 2018 and are currently in post-production. We'll be looking into local screenings and festival submissions soon. Check it out on Instagram.

Then, there's IT'S OUR SHOW ( WE DO WHAT WE WANT).  This show is a bizarre little beast, a sketch show made by myself and my co-horts Dan Servian, Matthew Ritacco, and James Tucci IV. It's heavily inspired by the works of Tim & Eric, Eric Andre, and all sorts of obscure humor we love. We just recently dropped the fourth episode of our six-episode first season. You can catch up on our YouTube Page. You should also follow our Instagram and Facebook.

And finally, there's my new band GRANDPA (aka GRANDPA: THE BAND). We managed to play some shows towards the end of last year, and are working on new material to record an EP. We're noise punk band with a very strong Alice Cooper-type horror-rock vibe. And that's all I can say about it for now. Please follow us on Instagram if you want to know about the exploits of some hard rockin' mutants.

That's all for now. Transmission Terminated.

TRACK REVIEW: PET WIFE - BAD WAY

 TRACK REVIEW: PET WIFE - BAD WAY by Chris La Vigna ( @chrislavigna.bsky.social) Once again I am dusting off the blog to conjure up some words about some cool music that I feel that you need to check out.  Life has been an absolute chaotic psychic minefield as of late, and if you're like me, you're grasping for any piece of art to get you through the day, let alone the next four years or so. With that in mind: folks, it is my supreme pleasure to report to you that Brooklyn's PET Wife is back at it again with some more electro-pop realness. As if releasing their excellent album foam set this past spring wasn’t enough for us, their latest single, “ BAD WAY ” dropped in early October, and it has come to work its way to the top of all of your future Halloween/ Year-round Darksynth playlists, especially if you’re trying to organize your own D.I.Y. version of the blood rave sequence in Blade . It's a dark and dirty song, fast and ferocious, clocking in at one minute and fifty...

TRACK REVIEW: MAINTENANCE - "LOW LIFE"

TRACK REVIEW:  MAINTENANCE - "LOW LIFE" by Chris La Vigna ( @instant_insanity_productions ) "Alright, who's been putting 'shrooms in the dog food again?"                           It's been quite some time since I've felt compelled to post anything on this blog. Life comes at you fast, y'know? I suspect the fellas in Maintenance, who in my opinion are one of the most consistently interesting bands in the 914 music scene, would agree with that particular truism.  Though the band has been playing plenty of gigs over the last year or so, they have been largely quiet when it comes to dropping new music.  It's more than understandable when you consider just how deep of an impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on not only the local music scene, but musicians and venues across the country. We've all had to adjust, re-organize, and re-prioritize what we've been doing with ourselves in some way or another. A...

You Should Be Watching YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL

You Should Be Watching YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL By Chris La Vigna ( @Chris_LaVigna) Slacker demon Gary Bunda (Henry Zebrowski) and his co-worker Ben (Ben Bladon) are doin' a Party Hole thang. You wouldn't understand. Life is Hell, right? That’s a sentiment we can all generally get behind, especially when it comes to our jobs, which seem to consume the majority of our existence on Earth. Well, what if the afterlife proved to be just as monotonous, mind-numbing, and (literally) soul crushing as your office job, with all those co-workers you hate and that supervisor that pisses all over you? That’s the premise of the Adult Swim show YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL, a workplace comedy about demons working in the pits of Hades, taking Satan’s orders to get more souls. The show wrapped its fourth season in early 2019, and in the interest of promoting it to get it some more eyeballs and possibly help secure a fifth season, allow me to dive into all the...
