Staunch Moderates “Rolling Stone” (LIVE)

The first three tracks of THE STAUNCH MODERATES EXPERIENCE waste no time paying homage to a hundred years of American pop culture music history. No slice of rock n’ roll history is complete without the indelible influence of Rolling Stone. This trailblazing magazine has spotlighted the biggest captivators and innovators since its inception in 1967. Naturally, “Rolling Stone’s” beat captures that larger-than-life creative energy, swaggering and swaying with a touch of down-south flair, boosted by soaring guitar riffs and buoyant harmonies that poke through the chorus like a ray of sunshine. But it’s Shorty Mack’s smooth, imaginative bars truly set the scene, painting the portrait of the magazine’s epic history and legacy. Part enthralling history lesson, part vibrant celebration, and part plunge into sunny absurdity, it’s destined to part the clouds and brighten listeners’ day with its infectious grooves and timeless allure.

The latest live reimagination amplifies 6 decades of rock-n’-roll’s untamable unruliness. The “Rolling Stone” music video fans thought they knew has been thoroughly tricked out, featuring the largest “staunch” crew in the group’s history. Fans will recognize founder and CEO Simmons, Kyle Knight, longtime collaborator Shorty Mack, the unmistakable mascot DJ Staunch and the shimmering Staunchettes. Teetering on sensory overload, it feels almost like a fever dream or acid trip—four minutes of pure, chaotic bliss. Whether someone has been following DJ Staunch & the Bigfoots’ meteoric rise for years or has just discovered them now, “Rolling Stone Live” captures what makes this group’s artistry so compelling and distinctive. And it’s just one small part of the larger experience—a vital cog in the roaring machine of Staunch Moderate’s most powerful burst of positivity yet.
