Eduardo Rivadavia

Eduardo Rivadavia (aka Ed Rivadavia) was created in São Paulo, Brazil, and by his later teens had currently toured the globe (and somewhere else), learning four languages on three continents. Having also recognized the holy gospel of rock and roll & move as his lord and savior, Eduardo became infatuated with the brand new Wave of English ROCK and everything weighty, crude, and obnoxious while surviving in Milan, Italy, through the mid-’80s. At the moment, he also produced his journalistic debut as only article writer, editor, publisher, plus some might state, audience of his high school’s rock fanzine, making the scorn of jocks and nerds as well but uniting the tiny hardcore music-loving contingent right into a frenzied mob that spent a lot of time exchanging tapes, speaking shop, and obtaining take down at concerts. Upon coming back house to Brazil, Eduardo resumed a semi-normal living, sporadically adding music content articles to local documents and mags while gaining his business level. Finally, after many years of obsessive musical fandom with peace along with his distinctive insufficient musical skill, Eduardo decided enough time acquired arrive to infiltrate the music sector from the within. He escaped from a short but boring commercial work, relocated to Chicago, gained his master’s level while struggling the iniquities of interning free of charge (all for rock and roll & move!), and finally began doing work for several record brands, accumulating mountains of information and (apparently) useless rock and roll trivia along the way. This ultimately led him back again to composing, and he continues to be an AMG contributor since 1999, submitting testimonials in lots of different rock styles but specializing, simply because generally, in his personal hobby: severe and obscure rock. To quote in the legendary and intensely insightful THAT IS Spinal Touch: “People ought to be jealous of me…I’m jealous of me….” Eduardo presently resides in Brooklyn, NY, along with his fiancée and too many CDs and information.
