Walk the Moon and their stellar performance at the sold out SF Masonic

October 27, 2015

I couldn’t have asked for a better way to start my week off than by catching Walk The Moon deliver an uplifting energetic set at SF Masonic. The first time I caught them perform was last year as the special guest on Panic! at the Disco The Gospel Tour concert at SJSU. I have been waiting for their return and this time their headlining show brought them back to San Francisco. The night kicked off with the infectious bubbly brat pop music of Holychild. They got the crowd moving in no time. Check out a couple photos of their set by Rockin Ryan: After Holychild, the immensely talented Saint Motel took over and kept the energy flowing with a swirling dose of indie dream pop. They played songs off their new EP, especially my fave; Cold, Cold Man. Here are some photos: The energy in the Masonic was nearly at its peak when Walk The Moon hit the stage. This band which has been described as anything from indie to electro-visual, really can be summed up [Read More]

RavenEye kicks off the Aftershock Festival with a fierce dose of energy

October 26, 2015

Saturday morning you found many of the overnight campers at this year’s Aftershock Festival just waking up from their slumber. That soon changed as they heard Raveneye kick off the festival with their high energy set. The Aftershock Festival started off with a bang promptly at 11:50 with Raveneye taking the Coors Light Stage. They are the perfect band to get the show off and running, as we were recently blown away by their performance opening for Slash in San Francisco at the Warfield Theater. They did it again with a heaping dose of adrenaline as they were jumping around the stage, off amps, even doing the guitar tower piggy back! You didn’t need any coffee or Monster, their energy was contagious and you could soon feel your blood pumping and energy rising. The crowd was still arriving to the festival but that didn’t keep them from enjoying the infectious music of Raveneye and leaving quite an impression on those that were lucky enough to catch their set. It was the perfect opening for [Read More]

October 26, 2015

Munich, October 21st, 2015 It’s the second time this year that Hardcore Superstar played in Munich, same place, smaller club this time and they brought someone special along, Michael Monroe, well-known as the singer of Hanoi Rocks.
