April 13, 2015

We recently brought you our Concert Review of SIXX: A.M., Apocalyptica and Vamps as they delivered a night of amazing music in San Francisco. You can check out our review here. Apocalyptica took to the stage and delivered a mind-blowing set of their instrumental, rock/metal music featuring cellos. You can’t help but watch them in amazement as they bring a whole new level to classical music by taking it up to 11 and bringing out the metal. I was excited to catch their new vocalist, Franky Perez. He has such powerful vocals that were the perfect fit to the big sound of Apocalyptica.

Stone Temple Pilots kick ass at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco

April 11, 2015

The legendary Fillmore in San Francisco was treated to an incredible set by Stone Temple Pilots. The sold out show included an opening set by one of our fave bands, Spiralarms. They always get the crowd riled up and win over new fans with each set. I would strong suggest you check them out the next time they are playing. After, the Dreamers from Brooklyn, NY came out and continued to raise the energy of the venue. This trio definitely delivers a powerful sound. I am excited to check out more of their music! The venue was filled as everyone made their way into the main room to catch the very best spot for Stone Temple Pilots. When they started, the adrenaline raced through the audience and by the end of the first song, everyone was singing along. It was amazing to hear the crowd participation in almost every song they played.  Chester was awesome and is a very engaging frontman, as you may know from his incredible work with Linkin Park.
