Didirri Shares New Single 'Raw Stuff'
Didirri has kicked off the new year with the reflective new single “Raw Stuff” and accompanying music video. True to its name, “Raw Stuff” captures an unspoken, universal experience – when two people, despite how close they are, are unable to open up to one other. Fortunately, the story and the song both find a resolution. The Alternative singer-songwriter has also announced he'll be in North America for SXSW, followed by dates with label mates Alex The Astronaut and Jack River in Los Angeles (March 24th @ The Bootleg), Brooklyn (March 26th @ Baby's All Right), and Toronto (March 27th @ The Drake).

BWW Reviews: Heart-warming 'MAYTAG VIRGIN' at Quotidian Theatre
Romance must be in the air—maybe it's the invigorating chill of fall weather and the crunch of leaves underfoot, but whatever the reason it's time for Quotidean to offer a heart-warmer of a play as its season opener. Quotidean's offering, as part of the Women's Voices Theater Festival, is a premiere of Audrey Cefaly's two-hander, Maytag Virgin. This tried-and-true plot of opposites attract is brought vividly two life by two stellar performers, and Cefaly's sturdy direction.
