This past weekend, we made it out to the Rockstar Mayhem Fest as it made it’s stop at the Shoreline Amphitheater on July 6th. We are looking forward to telling you about all the great sets but we wanted to tell you about one of the highlights of the Festival. We were excited to see that this band lives up to and exceeds anyone’s expectations with their energy filled dynamic set. The highlighted band we are talking about is none other than the great Mushroomhead.

They came out onto the Coldcock American Herbal Whiskey stage to a packed crowd that extended all the way to the booths. The energy of the crowd was intense and once Mushroomhead began to play, the energy was raised ten fold! It was unreal and amazing. These guys deliver a non-stop adrenaline filled set that is 100% entertaining on all levels. They sounded on point the whole show and their stage presences are captivating and well deserving of a main stage. These guys should be placed on the main stage because that is exactly where they belong in the spotlight.

Another highlight of their set was when Jackie LaPonza of Unsaid Fate came out to sing with them. She fired up the crowd even more and you didn’t want the music to stop. One thing I really wanted was a longer set from them because I wished they would have played all day! Check out the photographs by our Rockin Ryan of their set here:

We had the chance to chat with Skinny and Jeffrey Nothing after their set and are pleased to bring that interview to you here:

It is awesome to see this influential industrial metal band on this year’s lineup for Rockstar Mayhem Fest. Mushroomhead recently released its seventh studio album “The Righteous & The Butterfly” May 13th through Megaforce Records. The album has been receiving great praise and debuted at #20 on the Billboard Top 200 and the #1 Spot on Billboard’s Hard Rock Chart. The album delivers 14 tracks that are as diverse as the band, ranging from songs about survival and balance to emotionally charged anthems and even a riff heavy cover of Adele’s #1 Hit, Rumor Has It. The album is definitely one to pick up!

Band Members:

J Mann: Vocals
