Kalporz Night 25 at Diagonal, Forlì, Italy (March 21, 2026)
Our Italian partner Kalporz is celebrating their 25th Anniversary with a special gathering at the Diagonal in Forlì, Italy. The event is open to the public.
This is a rare opportunity to meet other readers, collaborators, friends, and become part of the Kalporzian family.
The party will begin at 7:30 pm with RadioKalporz, a sort of live radio: the site’s writers will take turns selecting music, explaining the reasons behind the chosen songs, songs that in different ways have marked Kalporz’s history and its path.
This will follow by DJs sets curated by the editors and other guests. Currently Kalporz is made up of around thirty collaborators, with Luca Vecchi, Paolo Bardelli, Piero Merola, and Enrico Stradi as lead editors.
So, yeah, if you’re in the Forlì area, stop on by the Diagonal for a pint.

Progressive metal band from the Twin Cities Death of the Heron will be playing Zhora Darling, in Minneapolis, this Saturday, March 21, 2026. They play original songs, influenced by the likes of Opeth, Amorphis and Gojira.
Also on the bill is five-piece progressive metal band Uxia, also influenced by Opeth.
BlurCurve
We’ve seen alternative rock, metal band BlurCurve a few times now, the last being in August 2025, where we wrote, “Getting things kicked off was Twin Cities band BlurCurve, a quartet with a mantra: “we like it loud and fast”. A mix of grunge and harder edged metal, the band’s most recent album is 2023’s Pluto & The Fool. All members appropriately dressed in black, the opening song Circular Reasoning was an epic, and allowed singer Alythia Scully the opportunity to demonstrate that the range of vocals, including growling and screaming, wasn’t just the domain of male singers. They leaned into all of the metal lyrical notes and owned it in a slightly different way. That backing band (guitar, bass, and drums) was super solid, and drummer Justin Szmanda was ripping it up from the go. Scully used self-described “dad jokes” as banter early on and BlurCurve had those metal grunge guitars firing on all cylinders. Guitarist Kris Heuer got a chance on vocals on the third song, Initiation, and both his lead and backing vocals supported Scully well. Scully, who was constantly in motion, did a great job of bringing attention to their band mates as needed, while still being the center of gravity during the vocals. After pitching merch in the back (while we also had a guitar change), Scully stated “ironically, this next song is about overconsumption”, as the band launched into Vainwaste. A long guitar intro into the next number gave a great buildup to the vocals. Finishing on Holy Alms, BlurCurve nailed an excellent opening set of power grunge.”
Finally, Ramsey’s Chameleon rounds out the bill. Not to be confused with Manchester’s Chameleons, who is playing the Varsity Theater on April 2026 and definitely not to be confused with 70s/80s Minneapolis band Chameleon (Charlie Adams’ band). I know the band is probably very young and may not be aware of these other established bands… but I would highly recommend they change their band’s name.
If your band is coming to the Minneapolis/St Paul area, please email details to vu@weheartmusic.com with a good lead time. Thank you.
