Record study and hear music at new Grammy Museum
The Associated Press
Guests are welcomed by wall-sized video screens and the “Crossroads Table” a touch-sensitive digital display that shows how different music genres interrelate. Interactive maps highlight the musical legacies of various American cities and short video series delve into emerging music styles from the past five decades and how they correspond with pop culture. For example the 1960s brought protest songs and music festivals that fueled the counterculture movement. The ’70s gave us corporate rock and its antithesis: punk. The ’80s ushered in gangsta rap and MTV the ’90s were all about grunge and the new millennium brought the iPod and digital downloads. The custom-made videos are among 30 films created just for the museum. “What we’ve tried to do in a very large snapshot is give you an overview of the depth and diversity of the great music that this country has created and other countries too” Santelli said.

Instant Asshole chucks booze finds name
The Orion CA
Instant Asshole Gruk and Duck and Cover all have female members marking Friday’s event as the not-so-typical Monstros punk show. Leasa Cartera performs bass duties for Instant Asshole while Gruk’s lead singer Rachel Loveless crunches out raspy vocals. Duck and Cover’s drummer and frontwoman sock it to the male-dominated genre applying Rosie the Riveter novelty to banal punk rock. Punk music has proliferated through underground venues and all-ages shows for a long time. Part of the allure is the spontaneity of a show that could be dissolved by police but an even larger appeal comes from love for the music. It is not uncommon for punk bands to sidestep bars altogether in favor of all-ages venues said Adam Rusch drummer for Death Crisis which is also on Friday’s bill. “Any hardcore band worth their salt is going to prefer underground and all-ages shows over playing at some lame bar where everyone is more into drinking” he said.
