Interview with Shakerleg and  Isaac Koren of  The Kin by Patrick O’Heffernan

November 16, 2014

The best way to describe The Kin is wild men from Australia and the New York subway.  There is nothing like them:  two lead singers/guitarists who are brothers, a didgeridoo,  a drummer who doesn’t use sticks, and a habit of invading restaurants and airports to steal ears, fill them with music, and then return them. And along the way,  these three artists create  high energy,  high melody, high fun alt. rock that is completely unique.  They have worked with legendary  producers  Nic Hard and Tony Visconti and toured  down under with PINK playing  to arenas full of thousands of people.  They recently launched a grueling USA  tour, kicking it off at  the Bootleg Theater in los Angeles.  Isaac “Hijack” Koren and Mark “Shakerleg” Nicosia stopped by Music FridayLive! for a chat before  setting up for  their gig. Patrick. Welcome guys. I  love your band.  Shakerleg. Let’s be sure we understand who this band is.  There is a drummer who plays without sticks, that’s  me, and the other two guys  are hacks. Seriously, we have two [Read More]

ARCH ENEMY perfom a mind blowing set at Regency Ballroom in San Francisco

November 12, 2014

ARCH ENEMY are currently in the midst of their North American tour and we were so glad to see them make a stop in San Francisco earlier this week. They performed to a packed crowd at The Regency Ballroom. It was an absolute mindblowing set that will satisfy your every need for metal. They destroyed the venue as the energy was raised well beyond the roof and couldn’t be contained.  Vocalist Alissa White-Gluz has such a commanding stage presence that you couldn’t keep your eyes off her as she tore up the stage and insured that everyone was giving their 150% of pure metal bliss! It was fierce and the sound was spot on. The guitars from Michael and Nick sounded so bad ass, they just infected your soul with metal and you were immediately under their spell. The magic between the two is spectacular to watch. You can’t help but have the sound intensified with the precision drumming of Daniel and of course Sharlee, a beast on the bass. Together their sound is tight and [Read More]
