BottleRock Napa 2023 serves up your favorite new band, Mac Saturn

June 4, 2023

Detroit does it again as they have presented us with another amazing band, Mac Saturn. Hailing from the same studio that our faves Greta Van Fleet got their start. The band started in 2020 but definitely gives off old soul vibes that channels all the great groove  smooth funk of the ages, blended with fresh new vibrant rockin melodies. They bring to life a big sound and they have the stage presence to match! We had the chance to catch them perform at the Jam Cellars Ballroom prior to their Saturday set at BottleRock.  Catching them in the intimate ballroom and then at the  BottleRock Truly stage, one thing is certain; both shows had such great big sound and a stadium worthy performance. They also performed an acoustic set that rocked just as hard! Check out photos by our Rockin Ryan from their sets:   Band Members: Carson Macc –  lead vocalist Nick Barone – guitars, vocals Jive Moses – Bass Angelo Coppola- drums, vocals Mike Moody – guitars, vocals Tour Dates: JUN 16 FRI  [Read More]

Starcrawler deliver explosive high energy set at BottleRock 2023

June 3, 2023

We love finding new bands to cover at BottleRock, but we love it even more when we finally get to see a band that we have been loving for a while! Their album She Said is always on our playlist.  That band was Starcrawler for us and they were a BottleRock highlight as they delivered a set that was non stop energy and satisfied our need for their live performances.  It actually left us longing for the next time we get to see them live. We were able to chat with them a bit before their set and you can check out that brief interview here: The band consists of  Arrow De Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash and brother Bill Cash on pedal steel/guitar, drummer Seth Carolina, and bassist Tim Franco. They have two studio albums and their recent single RoadKill is one of our fave tracks and even more so, to see them play it live.

Idles served up a brutally powerful set as the RE:SET Concert Series kicks off

June 2, 2023

We have been waiting not so patiently for the Idles to play in the US. They have been one of our favorite bands and with the additional popularity with their music on the Netflix series Peaky Blinders, their fanbase has grown immensely. They might have garnered a lot of attention from the series but their music has been serving up frenzied rhythms and angsty commentary for nearly 15 years. They were performing at the Frost Amphitheater – Stanford for the RE:SET Concert Series.  They had the crowd fueled with adrenaline and quickly the mosh pit was in full force.  It was amazing to witness them perform  under the sun at the outdoor venue. They gave us a full one hour set that was non stop! Check out the photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: You can catch them out on tour. Head over to their website and check the dates. You don’t want to miss them!  You can check out a video of them performing “Never Fight a Man with a Perm” from [Read More]

The Band High Noon rock the stage at BottleRock amid their EP release

June 1, 2023

One thing I love about BottleRock is that we get to check out new bands. This year one of the bands that stood out for us was, The Band High Noon.  They kicked off the festival with the first set on Friday at the Truly stage and we were right there to catch it all.  They were also one of BottleRock’s Featured Emerging Artist. Guitarist Ian Devereux commented about their upcoming performance, So stoked to be playing Bottlerock this year. We’re sharing a stage with some of the bands that we credit as our primary influences like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. That kind of thing still feels like living a dream sometimes.  And to be featured as one of the Bottlerock 2023 Emerging Artists is a total honor. We get to kick the festival off as the crowds pour into this amazing festival, filled with music-lovers, killer food and wine, and a vibe that is all about acceptance and joy… man… we are grateful.   They hit the stage and did not disappoint.

  What is better than seeing The Struts live? Seeing them at back to back shows during BottleRock Napa festival. This past weekend The Struts truly brought an energy overload to the stage.  We caught them perform at the sold-out show at the Jam Cellars ballroom. They had the crowd fully energized and singing along. Each and every time we see The Struts they set the bar even higher with an over the top performance and this weekend was no different. They are the band to see! Check out some photos from their show at the Jam Cellars Ballroom. Sunday , The Struts performed on the Jam Cellars main stage and the packed crowd was ready for it!  They once again delivered a flawless performance with impeccable stage presence, commanding the stage and captivating the crowd.
