February 9, 2016

  Patrick O’Heffernan (Pasadena, CA). “The system is broken, that’s why we are doing this.  We have to put the power back in the hands of the fans and the artists,”  says Matthew Hager, double platinum music producer and bass player in Allison Iraheta’s explosive alt rock band, Halo Circus.  He is sitting on one end of a blanket-strewn brocade couch in Halo Circus’ recording studio;  frontwoman Iraheta is perched on the other end, nodding and interjecting her thoughts.   The “system” is the system for booking bands into small and medium sized venues. Halo Circus, which recently packed Hollywood’s venerable Troubadour in its Say It Loud concert has decided to use the new crowd-sourcing platform RoadNation.com to book its summer tour – unheard of for a band as popular as Halo Circus.  Monday, www.roadnation.com went live at to fans nationwide with Halo Circus’s tour announcement.  Over the next two months nine other bands, including LA’s experimental punk funk band Project N’Fidelikah and  New York’s dream pop songstress, Jennie Vee,  will post pages on the [Read More]

Interview with ONOFF as they share exciting news for 2016

February 8, 2016

We were really excited to catch rockers ONOFF perform during NAMM 2016 and they really brought the energy to the crowd. We featured them as one of our Spotlight bands they continue to shine bright. Originally from Ireland and recently transplanted to San Francisco Bay Area a couple years ago, they have consistently been drawing a lot of attention for their straight up high energy rock and roll.  In a time where many bands find themselves straying from rock in hopes of creating a new sub-genre, you have ONOFF who have stayed the course and continue to kick ass with their rock and roll. A band of three, yet a powerful sound that will rock to your core and have you begging for more.   We recently caught up with Paulie and Stevie to talk more about what is in store for them for 2016. Check out our interview here: These guys are not only a great bunch of guys but damn good musicians and do everything to make sure their crowd is having the [Read More]
