June 1, 2016

Wiesbaden, Schlachthof, May 23rd, 2016 This time I made a bit of a longer trip to cover a show for you and I chose the Schlachthof in Wiesbaden. The venue was recently rebuilt. It reopened at the end of 2015. Everything is still shiny and new and it’s a nice venue of the small and cozy kind. Just two months after the release of their recent record ‘Dark Matter’ The Word Alive went out on European Tour that included, besides a few German dates, also Slam Dunk Festival dates in the UK. By the time you read this, the tour is over and they’re back in the US relaxing and probably rehearsing for the upcoming Warped Tour Cycle, which the band will be on again. But back to the Wiesbaden show. Telle and Dani took their time to sit down with us and talk about the tour, the record, Warped Tour and much more. Check the interview out here: Show started around 7 pm. The Word Alive had three support bands, two of them [Read More]

The Struts are our BottleRock Napa 2016 highlight!

June 1, 2016

BottleRock Napa 2016 was a complete success featuring 80 musical acts, Michelin starred chefs, gourmet food, vendors and much more. With performances by Stevie Wonder, Florence+ The Machine, Walk the Moon, Lenny Kravitz, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more, there was a variety of musical acts to satisfy everyone. We must point out that while many where drawn to the lineup by the headliners, there was one band in particular, that truly stole the show. The rock n rollers The Struts from Derby, UK had the crowd on their feet rocking out. They gave everyone a true rock show, complete with glam fashion, compelling stage presences and songs that invited the crowd to join in the rock revolution. Throughout the festival, when we asked many about which bands were their highlight, time and time again, The Struts topped the list! It is no surprise since we felt that exact exhilaration the first time we saw them perform live with Motley Crue in Las Vegas last year. You can’t help but feel that you are [Read More]
