Karate Camp 2021: Doug Boodle feat. Carnage the Executioner

Tonight on The Live Feed we take a trip back to this year’s Karate Camp festival for Winona’s own Doug Boodle featuring Carnage The Executioner. And by trip, I mean, heh, a trip indeed. Ya see, Doug Boodle, contrary to what the name implies, is not so much a man… but more like a group or men, or poodles if you will, that come together to form something bigger than the sum of its parts turning poodles into boodles and oodles of music. Joining these pretty poodles and their mythical idea of a leader Doug, is Minneapolis hip-hop artist Carnage the Executioner. Carnage is a true international man of mystery and intrigue, having toured the world showing off his skills as a human beat box. Science has yet to catch up with him, but we did… I’m Bill Stoneberg, take a deep breath and get ready for Doug Boodle featuring Carnage the Executioner, LIVE from Karate Camp 2021, on tonight’s Live Feed.

Karate Camp 2021: Texas Toast

Tonight on The Live Feed we head back to this year’s Karate Camp festival to hone our inner karate skills… or just check out some great live music from Winona’s own Texas Toast. Texas Toast is a relatively new band that mines their sound from Graham Parson’s claim of cosmic American music. The bands facebook page describes them as “a psychedelic country band that features touring musicians from Jaybone Bell and the Restless Light, The People Brothers Band, Barbaro, and Karate Chop Silence who have all made their home in beautiful Winona, MN”. The group’s take on country rock, alt country and psychedelia is a refreshing sound that’ll make you want more.
