Roxwel's Original Series
Uncut: Toby Ryan’s potent blend of piss & vinegar hard talk and cut-to-the-core interviews with today’s most important musicians have made him, and Roxwel.com’s “Uncut,” a must-stop on artist agendas. With on-air experience at Austin’s 101x, it just made sense to put Toby on the pedestal he deserves—uncensored and on-camera! With live concert footage cut in with the most in-depth and unrivaled interviews around town and on the web, “Uncut” has featured everyone from Velvet Revolver, Queens Of The Stone Age, Silversun Pickups, and Moby, to MGMT, Spoon, Seether and over thirty more.
Artist Commentary: Roxwel.com gets the artists’ perspective on the making of their latest music videos, song and album concepts, touring and everything in between. The “Artist Commentary” series allows viewers to get a more intimate look at their favorite musicians, and it’s also an outlet for artists to explain how that screwball video or off-the-charts album came to be. These details, coupled with picture-in-picture video or live performance outtakes, really exhibit how concepts become finished products. Guests on the series include The Disco Biscuits, Warren Haynes, The Steps, The Black Angels, The Melvins, Sleepercar, Built By Snow, Alpha Rev and tons more.
Kristi Lee’s Dirrty Mouth: Kristi Lee’s zany antics, bombshell looks and feisty personality naturally laid the groundwork for her highly successful and talked about Roxwel.com show, “Kristi Lee’s Dirrty Mouth.” Never short of words or opinions while dishing out the latest rock ‘n’ roll gossip, Kristi has a knack for stirring up controversy all across the web.
Metal Supply: Roxwel.com’s resident, malevolent metal guru keeps viewers up-to-speed on the latest releases from the fiercest bands on the planet. Chiggedy-Chuck, as his friends often call him (at their own peril), dissects these albums and music videos with his dark humor, dry wit and extreme knowledge of and passion for metal music. Metal is not just a lifestyle for Chuck. It’s his LIFE.
101X In Studio: Roxwel.com and the jocks of Austin’s 101x hit some of the biggest and baddest music festivals in the country. Sit down, relax and watch as these pros secure the interviews and get the goods on the most buzzed bands in the industry. This content, enhanced with exclusive acoustic performances, is a must-see! Guests include Vampire Weekend, Nada Surf, The Black Keys, Atmosphere and eighty more.
