Davey Suicide returns to DNA Lounge in San Francisco!

November 7, 2013

Last night was the first night of William Control’s “Revel Without a Cause” Tour. Day 1 kicked off at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. First up was a great band from England, Fearless Vampire Killers and you can read more about them here. Next up was the shock rock act of Davey Suicide. They were playing in the upstairs of the DNA Lounge which always brings such challenges for bands with limited space and sound qualities. In addition this being the first night of the tour, they have yet to iron out the kinks in their set but that in no way stopped them from delivering a 150% performance. Their dark atmospheric rock n roll wrapped in fine tuned electronics and engaging lyrics had everyone fired up and ready for more. Davey Suicide is on Vocals, Drayven Davidson kills it on drums, Ashes tears it up on guitar and Brent Ashley plays some crunchy bass and provides backing vocals. You can check out a Tribute Video that Rockin Ryan made which includes photos and [Read More]

William Control’s “Revel Without a Cause” Tour is one not to be MISSED!

November 7, 2013

Last night was the first night for the Revel Without a Cause Tour by William Control and I have been counting the days to this one! I have been looking forward to this tour since it’s announcement and William Control once again exceeded my expectations. We got to the show in time to see Fearless Vampire Killers from England and Davey Suicide. Both were amazing sets! Every time I have seen him perform, whether with Aiden or with Black Veil Brides on their tour, he puts on a climatic performance. Being the first show of the tour always can put performers in a rough position as they test out their material, set and also have to deal with what the nightclub’s issues might be. They were performing in the upstairs stage of the DNA Lounge in San Francisco and that always brings challenges to artists with the sound issues as well as space limitations. When William performed all that was a distant memory because you could not help but be energized by him. He literally [Read More]

Buckcherry release video for new single “Wrath”

November 7, 2013

Rockers Buckcherry have just released a new music video for their bad ass single, “Wrath” which is off of their “Confessions” album. This is definitely a rockin fight song. As Josh Todd says, “They say it’s the quiet ones you gotta look out for, you know why? Because they keep all their WRATH inside… This is a fight song, fuck the system or the system fucks you!” Check out the video here: A couple months back we say Buckcherry as they performed at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento and we had a chance to talk with Stevie D. backstage and here is that video for you: If you don’t have it yet, make sure to pick up their latest album, “Confessions” and you can even pick up some merch bundle packs here.

Fearless Vampire Killers and their first US show ever!

November 7, 2013

Last night was the first night of William Control’s “Revel Without a Cause” Tour. Their first show was held upstairs at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. Opening for William Control, was British theatrical Alternative Rock band Fearless Vampire Killers, and it was my first time seeing them. They were amazing. This was their first show ever in the United States and they really won over the crowd instantly. Fearless Vampire Killers are Kier Kemp and Laurence Beveridge (co-vocalists), Cyrus Barrone (guitar), Drew Woolnough (bass) and Luke Illingworth (drums). Playing upstairs at the DNA lounge, always provides quite a bit of challenges for the band with space and sound, not to mention being the first night of their tour. So usually the first night is when you iron all the kinks out. But that didn’t matter to these five guys. They came out and performed with fierce intensity and their songs pumped the crowd right up. You can describe their look as a blend of steam punk with gothic and horror punk, whatever you call it, they [Read More]

Join RED9 in the making of their new music video!

November 5, 2013

I remember the first time I saw Red9. They were personally chosen by Slash to open for him at his Los Angeles Wiltern show in 2012. They were incredible. Red9 is a Southern California rock trio. Just because there are only 3, does not mean they do not deliver a huge sound! These guys are a powerhouse of rock and adrenaline. Then earlier this year, they released their CD “Under Dark Skies” and it KICKED ASS! You can read my review of their CD here. Well, here we are in November and they are ready to make a video for their song, Ignoramus off their CD. I can only imagine what they will do that song. It is great, it has a dark edgy sound with an exuberant build up. They have just announced a Kickstarter campaign to fund their Official Video. They had great success with their first music video “Fanatico” that included an Orange County Music Award nomination for best music video. So head over to their Kickstarter page and see how you can [Read More]

Five Finger Death Punch Tribute Video and Countdown to Vol. 2

November 5, 2013

First off, I may need to remind you we are 2 WEEKS away from the release of Five Finger Death Punch‘s album, “The Wrong Side of Heaven and The Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2”. It is set for a November 19th release via Prospect Park in North America and Eleven Seven Music elsewhere. You can still pre-order your copy here. They have been garnering such great success from Volume 1 and I can’t wait to see what Volume 2 brings. They played at the Aftershock Festival in September and were absolutely amazing. At Aftershock, these guys come out with adrenaline running through their veins and they do not let up on their fierce energy. The crowd was intense and Ivan had control of them from the front of the pit to the very back of the crowd. His magnetic drew them all in as they were then treated to the spectacular guitar shredding by Jason Hook and Zoltan Bathory. But then you couldn’t help but watch the beard, the man himself, Chris Kael, bassist [Read More]

November 5, 2013

Today English heavy metal band, Asking Alexandria release their new video for “Killing You” Their last video for their single, “The Death of Me” was awesome and we even had an interview with Erin Johnson, one of the women in the vending machines. You can check out that interview here. This video is much more insane and after watching, you might think they were filming a Saw sequel. So lock up the kids and get ready for some craziness. Here you go: You can also check out another video which Rockin Ryan put together for my favorite song off their new album, “Moving On”. It includes photos and footage from their set at Aftershock Festival.
