Dispatch is truly one of the country’s most successful independent bands. Last year they released the highly praised album, America, Location 12 and they are set to release Location 13 this fall. They recently released the track Came For the Fire off Location 13.  A note from Chad on the song’s origin and the history behind Stinson Beach where America, Location 12 and Location 13 were recorded:   “The song is a story of my own relationship with my wife with the different paths and rocks along the way, combined with the extrapolated story of the man and woman who built the studio in Stinson Beach where we’ve been recording the past two years. Built in the 60s, the house [Read More]

Combichrist, Wednesday 13 and Night Club – Everybody Still Hates You-tour 2018. By Alex Bock

August 1, 2018

Munich, July 21st – Technikum – a short review Over the last few years, a summer wouldn’t be a summer, if Combichrist didn’t come down and play shows in Germany. So with 2018 making no exception, Munich welcomed the band once again. They brought two opening acts along. Night Club, a two people act, was the first to enter the stage. While Mark Brooks manages the music DJ-style, Emily Kavanaugh is the front woman/singer. Though the venue wasn’t that full at the beginning of their set, Emily managed to entertain quite well, not being intimidated by the (at first) quiet audience. Their music is quite catchy. Definitely a band worth checking out. Shock rocker Wednesday 13 already assembled a steady fan-base over the years. Their 7th studio record ‘Condolences’ was released in June 2017. Their show was definitely one for the books in terms of appearances. No dull moment there. Finally, Combichrist hit the stage at around 10 pm. At the moment we experience really hot summer days, but believe me, the temperature inside rose [Read More]
