Hey Violet have been quite busy rocking the stages with 5 Seconds of Summer this summer for the Rock Out With Your Socks Out Tour. The highly successful tour has taken them across Europe and is currently in the US leg of the tour. We were excited when we learned of their plans to have their first US headlining show at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. The fans were lined up early as the line circled around the block, many of them arriving several hours before doors. Fans came from all over and we even had the chance to chat with a young new singer, Bronnie of Revolution97 who traveled from London. The youthful energy and excitement was running rampant through the crowd as they filled the Troubadour to capacity. The opening act was the very talented James TW, a soulful pop singer from London. He captured the crowd’s attention and we really enjoyed his set. He carries great emotion when he performs and along with his catchy lyrics and soulful voice, he was a definite crowd pleaser.

Magic was in the air for the stellar set by Love and a .38 at the Troubadour

To continue our coverage from Diamond Lane‘s CD Release Party from Saturday night….. As I mentioned it was a night full of awesome music. We told you earlier about The Book of Curtis and Diamond Lane, now let us tell you about another highlight of the evening; Love and a .38. There must have been some magic in the air because I could never imagine Love and a .38 to top their last performance that I saw of theirs back in March at the Troubadour. Well, they certainly did just that. It was a set filled with some old Love and a .38 tricks as well as some new ones up their sleeves. They came out full 150% adrenaline running through their veins and they had one thing on their mind…. To blow our minds with their show.
