Lullwater brings their high energy set to Slim’s in San Francisco

April 18, 2016

  We were so excited to see that Lullwater was hitting the road with Candlebox out on their Disappearing in Airports Tour. They made a stop this past weekend at Slim’s in San Francisco and we weren’t going to miss it! We caught Lullwater last year when they rolled through Sacramento at the Ace of Spades for the Massive Collision Tour with Amaranthe and Butcher Babies. It was quite a night of high energy music that kept us fueled for the week! Well, Lullwater did it again. They kicked ass as they brought their high energy rock set to Slim’s! They really bring an energy to the stage that infects the crowd and has them begging for more. They spoiled us with songs off their recently released album, Revival which was recorded on analog and is a raw natural beauty. If there were any people in the audience who entered the venue that night not knowing Lullwater, they soon left as new fans. Everybody was in awe of their set and the adrenaline was racing around the [Read More]

Irene Diaz premiers “This Cannot Be”:  a new standard for songs from our most desired and dangerous emotion.

April 18, 2016

  (Los Angeles)  The line stretched out long before 7:30 pm, starting at the locked door of a non-descript office building on a ready-to-gentrify section of South Broadway in Los Angeles.  They came from all over the sprawling city and far beyond:  downtown, EastLos, Mt. Washington, the Valley, Hollywood, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Boyle Heights, Pacific Palisades, Koreatown, Orange Country, Long Beach.  One woman drove the 130-mile round trip from Santa Paula with her 6 year old daughter; another came up from San Diego. There were beaming abuellos and tias,  giggling high schoolers,  hipsters, Latinos, gringos, Asians, African Americans, straight and gay couples and young people still figuring it out.  And many, many children. They clutched tickets that read “Premier of  This Cannot Be.   Next to them on the sidewalk was another line of people with no tickets, hoping to get the few reserved for walk ups. They were all there for the same reason: love. The object and the source of that love was Irene Diaz. Diaz  sings love songs;  she’s a modern day torch [Read More]
