Check out our Spotlight Band, rockers Riviera and their new video for Dead Space

July 25, 2016

There are so many great bands out there today. I find it quite disappointing when I hear that people can’t find any great rock bands. Honestly, they must be living under a rock to even think that! Today more than ever, music is readily available and a band’s music can be checked out in an instant. Allow me to introduce you to a great band which I have been following on Twitter. They are RIVIERA out of West Virginia. They describe their music as Mo-Town Rock n Roll. When you take a listen you can hear influences from bands such as New Found Glory, State Champs, The Story So Far, to name a few. You can’t help but find yourself drawn to their vibrant music. What you get is high energy rock with hints of pop punk and a side of classic rock. They are great, and we hope you get a chance to check them out. They have recently released a music video for their track, Dead Space. It starts right off with some kick [Read More]

Toad the Wet Sprocket returns to the Fillmore in the SF to a packed venue!

July 25, 2016

We trekked out to San Francisco Saturday evening to catch Toad the Wet Sprocket perform at the legendary Fillmore. Toad are currently out on tour in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their “Fear” album, one of my favorites. The crowd arrived early and the venue was soon packed to near capacity. The night featured sets by Luke Wade and Rusted Root. We also might add that we had the opportunity to catch San Francisco band Gutter Swan perform in the Poster Room upstairs in between sets. This acoustic duo was a highlight for us, as they captured our attention with their engaging sets of familiar songs that now held their personal style. Pop/Folk Singer/Songwriter Luke Wade took to the stage and from the start, his compelling vocals insured everyone was going to have a great time. Rusted Root ignited the crowd with their high energy set that brings to life a fusion of music of, rock, blues, world and much more. Their set so easily invites the crowd to dance along and feel [Read More]
