Interview with The Virginmarys as they tour with Buckcherry

March 15, 2014

The Virginmarys are currently out on tour with Buckcherry and we had the chance to catch them on their 2nd night of the tour at the Heritage Theater in Campbell, CA. They had an amazing year in 2013 with their breakout success of their debut album King of Conflict through Wind-Up Records. Their song, Just a Ride has become everyone’s fave and it’s one bad ass track that delivers intense high energy that I LOVE! Shortly before their performance, we were able to catch up with the guys and are pleased to bring you that interview here: The Virginmarys played to a sold out crowd at the Heritage Theater and their energy fueled the room. You may have heard that they are an incredible live band and sound just as awesome as their recordings and you know what? They are even better if that is possible! Here is their setlist of the night: Ally Dickaty on vocals and guitar is fierce as he bounces around and fills the room with emotionally driven lyrics. Matt Rose on [Read More]

You cannot look away from Memoir’s music video, “Look Away”. And you cannot get the music of that video, or any of Memoir’s music, out of your head. Dena Deadly, Zed Kelly and Remington Garner produce sound and images that are visually commanding, thematically stunning and totally addictive. When they released their first EP last year they put the music world on notice that a new force was now present and it cannot be ignored. There is nothing like this Los Angeles based indie-soul band. Memoir was formed last year by guitarist Zed Kelley and singer Dena Deadly, who met while collaborating at a recording studio in North Hollywood and later married. Together, Deadly, Kelley and her brother Remington Garner have written hit singles for artists like Cee-Lo Green, Will-I-Am , the Jonas Brothers and Pit Bull.
