Air Supply

  • When: July 28, 2026

To the Review….

Here’s a question for you: What is the one thing you wouldn’t expect to see at an Air Supply concert if you have never seen the likes of Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell, and their band, playing the songs you know and love?

Answer: A kick-ass drum solo, that’s what!

But I digress, let’s start how this came together.

I’m talking to a friend of mine, and on their music speaker I hear some Air Supply.

“Is that Air Supply?” I comment.

She mentions her love for Air Supply, and another friend who is nearby joins the conversation. Suddenly we are all about Air Supply when a revelation comes out, “You know, they are playing a free show in my town?”

Air Supply

And so it began, the checking of the calendars, the making sure we were all free, and a trip to Elk Grove Village, Illinois was set.

Air Supply is on the road for their “A Matter of Time” tour, in support of their new album by the same name, as well as celebrating fifty-plus years together. I’ll tell you what, if you have any remembrance of any of their classics, the likes of “Even the Nights are Better,” “The One That You Love,” or “All Out of Love,” head to their website, and try to catch them on the road.

Just hope they aren’t playing a festival kind of place, and you end up getting there a little later than planned.

The date arrived, but first some sustenance was needed, so off to a local restaurant we went. There should have been plenty of time, but while the food was excellent, service was a tad slow. Alas, our planned early arrival at Village Green in Elk Grove, Illinois was delayed just a tad too long. The power of Air Supply was in place, and the place was packed.

This was my first visit to Village Green, and it’s kind of an interesting venue with a stage at the end of a long, rectangular parking lot. Along the sides of the parking lot were some grassy parkways and trees. It was “Bring your own chair” seating at its best. My best guess was the area holds about 5,000 people, but what do I know?

My photo pass was secured, but the best seating the group could procure was about two-thirds of the way towards the back of the parking lot. Our fault for underestimating the love of Air Supply and just being later than we planned.

While our lawn chairs were way at the back, as a photographer, for three songs, I have the best location, right in front of the stage. I left my friends and took my spot next to a wonderful lady, whose name I sadly forgot, but I explained my intrusion was temporary. She was content with my photo assignment, and we had some nice chit-chatting about her love for Air Supply and that Mirko Tessandori, the keyboard dude in the band, was her man. I was also grateful for her because she completely had my back. You see, there was a woman a few rows back who was bemoaning that I was standing in her way. My protector shot back at her that I would only be there for a few songs, and she should pipe down. I wish I knew her name because I might have to hire her as my private, photographer security.

Mirko Tessandori

Showtime arrives, and the band makes their way to the stage, where, lo and behold, Mirko sees my “security” lady and gives her a big smile as she waves at him. Out comes Russell Hitchcock in a black suit adorned with colorful birds, and Graham Russell in a jacket that I’m jealous of.

As “Sweet Dreams” began, it was time for the smooth sounds I remembered as a youngster, finally seeing a band whose songs I have been singing for some forty-plus years.

While yes, they are out supporting a new album and single, don’t fret, the show is not a “What song is this?” show. Nope, this is a trip through everything you know and love. And then some.

As the show rolled, the likes of “Even the Nights Are Better,” “Every Woman in the World,” and “Two Less Lonely People in the World” had everyone singing along.

A “Levitating” Graham Russell

But about halfway through the show was where our late arrival truly became a difficulty.

It was time for the part of the show called “G’s Spot.” Get your head out of the gutter, it’s a nice interlude where Graham Russell gets a little spotlight, doing some crowd banter, reading inspired words, and playing around on guitar. In a normal venue I’m sure it works well, but for an outside venue where they don’t have supporting speakers in the back, and it is in the direct line of an O’Hare Airport landing path, all of the intimacy was lost in the struggling to hear him as planes flew overhead and the evening katydids overpowered the speakers.

I guess that’s a reason I’ll need to try and see them again!

In any case, the working of the G-Spot finished up, and the hits continued. Then came the unexpected, sandwiched between the lovey-doveyness of “Lost in Love” and “Making Love Out of Nothing At All,” and I’m talking about a rocking, cello duo spotlighting Jessika Soli and Kat Findlay, complete with bows that looked like lightsabers flying across the strings. And then, there it was, yes, a drum solo with Pavel Valdman showing that an Air Supply show isn’t just about snuggling with your partner.

As the show wrapped up, the encore of the Badfinger song that most remember by Harry Nilsson, “Without You,” and yes, recorded by Air Supply on the album “The Earth Is…,” had the crowd excited, and the closer, “All Out of Love,” gave everyone one last chance to sing along to a band most of them grew up with.

The boys sounded great, the band was more than solid, and I have to admit that I did not realize the guitar talent that is Graham Russell, especially as I discovered he plays a right-handed guitar, strung upside down, as Graham is left-handed. Very cool!

If you are catching Air Supply at a free, outdoor festival, hope that it isn’t in a flight-path, and don’t underestimate the draw of Air Supply by thinking you can show up late. If you do, just sit back, snuggle with your honey, and sing about love. That’s what Air Supply is about, and that’s what you’ll get at their show.

It’s two “lovey-dovey” thumbs up with a surprise drum solo and some wicked cellos. Catch them while you can!

That’s it for this one! I’m Andy!! L8R!!!

Cruel Hands

In Theaters and on Digital: July 24, 2026

It’s Australia, it’s 2019, and fires are really messing up lives.

But it wasn’t just the fires messing up the lives of mom, Maria (Mavournee Hazel) and young Dai (Diesel La Torraca). Nope, dad, Jason (Josh McConville) is an asshole, and mom is just trying to protect her son.

What to do? Mom and Dai flee the fires, but really, they are fleeing dad, and Maria works to set up a new life for them. The problem? Jason is on the hunt, and nothing is going to stop him.

The movie is “Cruel Hands,” from Director Al Kalyk, and while the story is fairly simple, violent husband/dad is on the hunt for mom and son, Al does a wonderful job of building the suspense through to the ending.

Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band

  • When: April 26, 2026
  • Where: Moody Center, Austin, TX

What?

“What? Bruce is doing a small tour of indoor venues? Really? Just him? With the band? Is he coming to Chicago?”

Those were just a few of the initial questions when I saw a blip about Bruce Springsteen doing a brief, spring tour.

I found the answers: Yes. Yes. Nope. Yup. Yup.

Then I thought to myself, “Self, maybe I can finally take my wife to a Bruce show, how Bruce is meant to be seen. Not at a baseball stadium with iffy acoustics, but indoors, with about twenty thousand crazed fans, and iffy acoustics.

So, I did my research, saw the places he was playing, and read:

APR 26                  AUSTIN, TX
On Sale February 21, 2026
APR 29                  CHICAGO, IL
On Sale February 20, 2026
MAY 02                 ATLANTA, GA

I decided to read the listing as Chicago would go on sale on Saturday, February 21st.

“Sweet! Maybe I’ll see how much tickets might be the morning tickets go on sale.”

February 21st comes along, I wake up, start to investigate tickets, and see Chicago was already on sale.

“What? How can this be? Was there some kind of pre-sale?”

Nope, The Dude on the Right just can’t read. Chicago went on sale February 20t. it turns out  Austin was going on sale on February 21st.

I felt stupid.

“Honey, I was thinking of maybe us going to Springsteen, but I’m an idiot. Tickets went on sale yesterday. Here, look at this website, see how I screwed up!”

My wife simply asked two questions, “Why didn’t you tell me you wanted to see Bruce?” (she would have gotten the correct on-sale date), and “Where else is he playing?”

What, a Bruce road-trip? Could it be?

And so, I let her analyze the ticket schedule discovering a few possibilities, namely New York City, Philadelphia, and Austin.

We both logged in to try for the shows, then came the ticket queues, and there she was, a decent number for Austin. I guess Ticketmaster had more faith in her figuring out the website and getting tickets.

It was finally her turn, I coached her on what seats to pick, and there it was, a sweet block of four seats.

Then came, “Why don’t you just take your nephew and brother-in-law? I already saw Bruce on Broadway and at Wrigley Field. I don’t need to see him again.”

“What” I replied. “You don’t understand, you need the full Bruce experience, with band, indoors. It’s so much more awesome.”

“Nah, that’s fine, you go with them and enjoy yourself.”

Her loss, but holy crap, we’re going to Austin! Let’s tell the family!

We’re Going to Austin!

As it turns out, we both have family near enough to Austin that we could make this more than just a trip to Austin; we would also get in some quality family time!

So, sadly, my wife may never experience Bruce with the E-Street Band indoors, but in the end, I didn’t care, I was going to see Bruce!

I won’t bore you with much of the Austin trip only to say that I fell in love with Austin again, kind of wished we had moved there eight years ago, but alas, it was great to see family.

Bruce was playing at Moody Center just outside the downtown area. It was a short enough walk from our hotel, so my nephew, brother-in-law, and I, ditched our significant others a few hours before the show and found ourselves at Scholz Garten for some pre-concert food and beverages.

Scholz’s Garten has been a staple in Austin since 1866, serving German food a-plenty, well, except for days when there are big events nearby. On party days, they trim down their menu for speed. While I may have to go back for a weinerschnitzel, on this day it was time for a brat and some beers. I’ll give them credit for their efficiency and the tastiness of the food. Most Texans know this is a perfect pre-activity spot, and I’m glad we found it.

As we made our way to Moody Center, past the proverbial people selling T-Shirts that weren’t of the official kind, the first question was what door to enter. Our tickets read “Portal 5,” which, silly me, meant look around the outside for Portal 5, but alas, there are only two entrances at Moody Center, East Gate and West Gate. Yup, no clue what was the better gate to enter. I thought, “Really, you couldn’t also have a North and South Gate” for some entrance efficiency, and you couldn’t just add “Enter at East Gate” on the electronic ticket?

We finally ended up in the right place, found the merchandise booth where I bought my first concert t-shirt in about twenty years, beverages were secured, and our seats were found.

Showtime

And then, around 7:35 PM, the lights went down. There he was, illuminated in a spotlight, as the band kicked into the Edwin Starr classic, “War.”

The Land of Hopes and Dreams concert had begun.

This tour, spawned by the ICE crap that hit Minnesota, Bruce’s subsequent song creation of “Streets of Minneapolis,” and just a need to speak up as Bruce is wont to do, was not meant to be a “Greatest Hits” kind of tour. Nope, Bruce brought along Tom Morello, he from Rage Against the Machine fame and one always willing to speak his mind, for help, and blasted through three hours of songs that touched on a variety of political themes Bruce has championed over the years.

That’s right, no screen doors slammin’ on the way to “Thunder Road,” no “Rosalita” coming out tonight, no recapturing “Glory Days,” and no kisses to “Prove It All Night.” Instead, there was a blistering version of “The Ghost of Tom Joad” with Morello, a raucous version of “American Land,” and the always moving “American Skin (41 Shots).”

You bring out a “Death to My Hometown,” “Murder Incorporated,” and “My City of Ruins,” along with the statement song, “Streets of Minneapolis,” and you can understand the message Bruce was trying to make, that America has a lot of challenges right now to overcome if it wants to become the land of greatness it can be. Only if we face those challenges the right way, by working together instead of being divided, can we get there, and it will take all of us.

Bruce did what Bruce does best at times, orating like a preacher and making you think about the world around you. His message wasn’t one of hating the other guy, but instead being a person strong enough to disagree with someone while at the end of the day, both people being able to share life for the common good of all. His challenge to all was to make their voices heard, make change, but do it the human way, not the way of some who degrade others and thinks there are levels to humanity.

And yes, while the show did have a political side, you didn’t leave the show with a sense of dread. Nope, you left the show with a sense of hope. Mixed with the message was classic Bruce, with the hope of “The Risiing,” the we are all together on this train of “The Land of Hope and Dreams,” the bursts of life with “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” and the rockin’ and dancin’ times of “Born to Run” and “Dancing In the Dark.”

Add something about Morello’s solo on Ghost of Tom Joad – started at age 17, he’s now 61. When I’m 110 I should be able to shred just like him!

The E-Street band was as awesome as ever, even as they all age gracefully, and at 76 years old, damn, seeing Bruce command and audience and blast a guitar for three hours was inspiring. Nope, he doesn’t stop, as the show was mostly song, guitar change, song, guitar change, song, guitar change, and Bruce playing to every person in the venue, even making his way to the stage riser in the middle of the floor seats giving up close and personal joy for those who might have thought their seats weren’t that great. And, oh yea, holy fuck, that Tom Morello can play a mean guitar. I’ve never seen him before, but damn, as someone like me just trying to learn three chords, watching his hands flying up and down the fretboard was a site to be seen. All I could think of during “The Ghost of Tom Joad” was, “Hmm, Tom started playing around 17 year old, and he’s now 61. If I keep practicing, maybe when I’m 110, I’ll be able to shred just like him!

Look, Bruce knows how to spread a message. Bruce knows how to rock. And more importantly Bruce knows how to give you hope.

It’s us to take that hope and make it a reality.

Two giant, hopeful thumbs up for Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. I didn’t miss some of the greatest hits, it was more inspiring being at a show with message.

I am, however, a little bummed that my wife missed it.

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right! L8R!!

Faceless After Dark


Rated: Not Rated | Running Time: 83 Minutes
From: Dark Sky Films
In select theaters and on digital places, May 17, 2024

Ahh, be careful if you are a star from a horror movie, those fans are crazy!

Yup, “Faceless After Dark” gives us Bowie (Jenna Kanell). She is a one-hit wonder star in a horror movie with a clown, and while she had her signature line from the movie, and developed a cult following, her horror movie career is stuck in one-hit-wonder mode.

For Bowie, her life is miserable, she gets passed over for every role, and even her best friend Ryan (Danny Kang) can’t get her a job.

So, with some encouragement from Ryan, Bowie starts writing her own script. I mean, why not? “Write what you want to be in” is Ryan’s advice.

What do you do if you decide to write your own script? Yup, you think about your girlfriend who is away, making a movie, maybe smoke something that takes you someplace else, then get weird images through your phone from someone with no caller ID.

Oh, and then start drinking and kind of lose your mind.

Only now you have a problem. You may be in your own, mental craziness, but it’s stalker, fan time!

Enter a dude with some hedge shears, and, well, you can’t really think straight because of all the weird stuff you just inhaled, drank, and well, your own crazy.

So, Bowie finds herself with a crazy fan holding her hostage, him recreating the movie that made her a star, and her running around her girlfriend’s house trying to figure out how to call the cops.

Sure, you think the fan is crazy, I mean he shows up with a clown mask and hedge shears, but in this house, crazy has a new name, and that name is “Bowie.”

So as not to give too much away, let’s just say that Bowie has decided it’s better to recreate the horror movie in her head rather than actually write it.

The gore, thankfully, escalates quickly, and we learn that maybe it isn’t such a good idea to be the stalker of a star in a horror movie.

There were two things I was thinking as I was watching “Faceless After Dark.” First, Jenna Kannel is wonderful in the role of Bowie, the crazy, unstable horror film star. While we quickly develop the knowledge that Bowie is crazier than her fans, it was fun seeing Bowie sink deeper and deeper into her psychosis, much to the dismay of her stalker fans.

The second thing I couldn’t help but think was that her woman is gonna be pissed when she gets home.

Surprisingly, though, her woman, Jessica (Danielle Lyn), appears to live the life of “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

“Faceless After Dark” does a great job taking you into the psychosis of a movie star stuck as a one-hit-wonder of a horror movie. The gore isn’t completely crazy, but it is solid as things escalate while the film progresses, and I loved the scene where Bowie tries to use an Apple, lightning charging cord to charge a Samsung Phone. I’m just like that.

It’s a solid 4 stars out of 5 for “Faceless After Dark.” Enjoy the psychosis of a horror movie star!

That’s it for this one! I’m Andy! L8R!!

Frogman


Rated: Not Rated | Running Time: 80 Minutes
From: Rotting Press
Available on Digital Platforms: March 8, 2023
Also available on VHS

I must say that when I got the press release for “Frogman,” I wondered two things. One, is there really a city called Loveland, Ohio, and two, if so, who would set some fictitious legend about a creature in said city.

Turns out there is an actual Loveland, Ohio, and it also turns out the city has a legend about, well, you guessed it, a frogman.

Who knew?

I’m still not sure the town will like the apparent “newfound footage” of frogman, nor the direction the footage seems to take the legend, but hey, it’s about 90 minutes of taking the weirdness of a legend of a, well, frogman, to a bizarre, horror-filled level.

As the movie goes, young Dallas, at an impressionable young age of 12, captured some film footage of Frogman, a mythical creature who lived in the woods around Loveland, Ohio. This creature was about four feet tall, looked like a frog, and walked around on two legs.

No one really believed Dallas, but his entire life he has been haunted with this footage, and of his desire to find Frogman once and for all.

Fast forward 20 years and Dallas is, well, 32, his life is kind of crappy, so what to do? You grab that old video camera with a couple of friends and try to find Mr. Frogman.

And if you’re a fledgling filmmaker like Dallas, you decide to also make it into a full-blown documentary.

As you drag your videographer friend, as well as the girl you want to be your girlfriend but won’t tell her you want her to be your girlfriend, along, quickly you find that there may be more to the legend than you believe. What really tips you off? Why, when the local sheriff tells you to leave town of course.

If you’re Dallas, do you leave town? Heck no! You’ve got Frogman to find, into the woods you go to set up camp, but you and your friends are still pretty stupid because you don’t really have camping provisions nor enough cell batteries for your phones, but damn, your video camera battery seems to last forever!

Eventually you find the true story of Frogman, and it ain’t good. Yea, let’s just say that there might be little Frog-people walking around pretty soon, and you’re wrapped up in the mess.

And even with all the footage you have, no one still believes you.

Ahh, the life of trying to prove a weird legend.

The difficulty I had with Frogman was that it couldn’t seem to decide if it wanted to go for the completely absurd or the uber-suspense side of a movie. There was a Blair Witch Project feel with the entire “footage” aspect, but most of the time that footage just showed some really inept people. Frogman didn’t hit that creepy level to feel frightened, and there were too many horror movie clichés, like the “I’ll go find dry wood by myself” scene.

While the movie folks did take a crazy, actual legend and turn it even crazier, I guess I wanted a little more. I’m not sure if that more was going over-the-top, or more on the being scary, but the more never made it. For me Frogman gets 2 ½ stars out of 5. I just wanted more.

That’s it for this one! I’m Andy! L8R!!

SINPHONY: A Clubhouse Horror Anthology

Do you want nine horror movies that get right to the point? Yup, no, long, drawn-out plot development, no “the girl will spend five minutes trying to find someplace to hide,” no yelling at your screen, “Get to the killing already!”

What if they were tied together into one, neat, 90 minute package?

Here comes, “Sinphony: A Clubhouse Horror Anthology”

Let’s Clubhouse Together

As the story goes, a bunch of horror film folks got together on Clubhouse, the social media place, and decided to put together nine different visions where something supernatural messes with the main character.

While each supernatural thing messing with the poor, main character is different, each little movie has one thing in common, the song “Fortress,” brings them together.

It’s an interesting concept that I kind of liked. No muss, no fuss, just blood and sometimes guts.

Here are some short blurbs about each of the nine parts…

Mother Love

There apparently is a serial killer in the neighborhood, and our heroine is home alone with her son. Thinking the killer is in her house, why call the police when you can get on a group call with your coven of witch friends?

At first I was a little upset with myself. Why? How could I request a film to review where I would have to read during it? I mean, it turns out the movie is from Germany, and, well, they speak German in it, and the movie has English subtitles if you so desire. I guess I got sucked into the ton of accolades the press kit listed, and as the movie began, I was intrigued by the main characters of Margot and Dieter so reading it was!

The movie is Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes, and while you may have to read a lot during the movie, it is mostly worth it.

Let’s get to reviewin’!

As the movie opens, we learn that Margot (Luisa Taraz) has inherited a castle. Cool! She is also married to, for no better word, an asshole. Oh, boo-hoo, quit your complaining Dieter (Frederik von Lüttichau), you had to know it would be a long drive to a castle in the middle of nowhere?

Jane (Emma Fitzpatrick) is kind of messed up. She does drugs, drinks, is kind of mental, and got attacked by a monster.

The underlying problem?

When you do drugs, drink a lot, and are kind of mental, most no one believes you if you are attacked by a monster.

What do you do if you are Jane?

Well, as Jane is also a social media influencer type, she takes her story to the little screen.

That’s great and all, but the problem is there is still this monster, the adults in the room don’t seem to want to do anything about it, and said monster keeps attacking Jane.

So, Jane decides she must kill it.

Such is the basic premise of “Take Back the Night,”

Let’s dive in a little more.

Blood Conscious

DeShawn White is Brittney. She's afraid in Blood Conscious.

As the credits started to roll during “Blood Conscious,” all I could think was here is a movie that just tried to do too much. Creepy movie set in the secluded woods with a lake? Check. Possible demon possessions? Check. Dumb people in a horror movie? Check. Movie trying to make a social statement? Check. Cheeky one-liners? Check. Ending that isn’t really an ending but tries to force you to make your own conclusions? Check.

The problem? It didn’t really do any of them well. Bummer.

Yup, “Blood Conscious” opens with a group of people, a young brother (Kevin, played by Oghenero Gbaje), older sister (Brittney, played by DeShawn White), and the fiancé of Britney (Tony, played by Lenny Thomas) in a car. Driving down deserted forest roads, they are on the way to a family gathering at the secluded cabins in the woods.

Upon arrival they stumble upon everyone murdered, and of course, none of them thinks to immediately call the police. Uh oh, here comes a dude with the shotgun (The Stranger, played by Nick Damici), who asks, “Are you humans, or are you demons?” “We’re on vacation,” is the reply.

And, so, every classic horror film things starts to happen. They escape from The Stranger, they catch The Stranger, The Stranger might be dead, they keep splitting up, and rather than try to make it to town during daylight, they hang around murder-ville until it’s dark and decide maybe a visit to town might be a good idea, but only if they split up.

Ugh!

Goodness, how are they going to survive the night? I know, start drinking beer in the fridge!

And when you think things are calming down, let’s bring in some mysterious lady, Margie (Lori Hammel)!

With Margie we really begin to get the “social statement” because, well, our trio is black and Margie is not. Up until this point it really didn’t matter, and it was better that way with them just being normal, stupid people in a horror movie. Instead, now, we’ll try for some obligatory Margie questioning Kevin for going through her purse well, because he is black and if our trio were white, well, I suppose Margie would be okay with it. Also, they are all in the middle of a mass murder, and Margie is somehow worried about how she is treated by “you people.”

Yea, things are completely messed up, dawn arrives, and rather than take the roads to town our heroes decide to use the rowboat to get across the lake. I won’t ruin the best part of the movie, but that happens when our folks stumble upon some townsfolk, and the question is asked “What are you?”

Roll credits.

Yup, you come up with your own ending!

Man, “Blood Conscious” just seemed like a movie where Timothy Covell, the writer and director, tried too hard. The fact that the “heroes” in the movie were black didn’t really matter until the film folks made a fuss about it. I would have preferred they just be dumb, horror movie people, as most horror movie people are. There is also a point where the stupidity just needs to end with heads being blown off or limbs being dismembered. That didn’t happen as you are supposed to eventually wonder if our heroes are, in fact, possessed and are now demons. The cheesy one-liners weren’t that cheesy, I wasn’t ever in suspense, and at the end of the day, for me, “Blood Conscious” gets 2 stars out of 5.

I wanted to like the movie more since the look of the movie was pretty good, and Oghenero Gbaje did some nice acting, but horror movies don’t always need to have a social message, just make them scary and bloody, or at least suspenseful and funny.

That’s it for this one! L8R!!
