Concert review: Of Mice And Men, Chelsea Grin, Motionless In White and The Devil Wears Prada. By Alex Bock

June 26, 2017

Wörgl, Komma, June 20st, 2017 It’s summer and it’s festival season. Hundreds of bands are swarming the country and contrary to some years it’s also the perfect weather. During all those big weekend filling events a tour announcement came a few months ago that was kinda surprising, because for one it was only a really small tour (three dates), they only hit smaller venues and it was an awesome combination – Of Mice And Men, Chelsea Grin, Motionless In White and The Devil Wears Prada. Since there was no German date for this line-up I decided to visit my friends in the neighborhood and drove to Wörgl, a small town in Austria, not too far away from the German/Austrian border. First time I’ve been to this venue and I really liked it. It’s a two-story building with entrance, bar and merch on the first floor and the big room with the stage on the second floor. Perfect division. If you want to chill even in-between shows, you can grab a drink downstairs and have a [Read More]

June 26, 2017

  The Wrecks have been one band that has been on the rise and they continue with their climb. They are heading out on tour this summer with All Time Low, SWMRS, Night Riots and Waterparks for The Young Renegades Tour. The tour kicks off on June 30th in Houston, TX. The band comments, “We’re so stoked that All Time Low asked us to come out with them this summer and we’re looking forward to playing stages that size for the first time. We can’t wait to get back out on the road again, as we’ve been mostly cramped inside writing new material and working on our set for the past few months. It’s refreshing to see such a good mix of genres in the lineup, as well. We’re gonna bring it 110% every night and we’re confident the crowds will, too.” Tour Dates: “The Young Renegades Tour” Dates: June 30 @ House of Blues Houston, TX   July 1 @ House of Blues Dallas, TX   July 3 @ The Marquee Tempe, AZ   July 5 @ [Read More]
