Midnight Cinema light up the Bottom of the Hill with their stellar set

September 12, 2014

  This past Sunday, we made it down to San Francisco to catch Midnight Cinema as they performed at The Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. I have been waiting to catch them live and was so glad because all that waiting, was well worth it. They played to a packed crowd as they recently released their debut album, Lightning in a Bottle last month. It was great to see the crowd sing along to favorites like Hurricane, Back to the Butterflies, and Lightning in a Bottle. Another highlight is when they performed a dare I say…… cover… of Angel’s on the Moon, the big hit from their previous band Thriving Ivory. I must tell you that I was not expecting them to play that song and it really took me to a very special place and time and brought me the bittersweet memories of my daughter whom I lost many years ago. It was a song that I used to play that helped me get out from under the dark place I was [Read More]

September Sky release new video for Fallacy

September 12, 2014

Last year we feature the great hard rock band September Sky and you can read more from our original post here. September Sky not only delivers heavy and hard rock that really grabs your attention but have had great success with their music videos. They have created videos that not only capture the song but are emotionally driven, like their video for The Fight. This time they have released their new music video for Fallacy which was filmed at the haunted Thornhaven Manor. Check it out here: The song is off of their second EP, Letter to Fear.  You can pick up their EP  on Itunes here. Make sure to visit their social  media sites and I will leave you with their  first full length video for The Fight that deals with suicide. It is a great song to literally have you stay and Fight! It is emotionally driven song that touches on such a raw subject that needs more attention with the rising rates of suicide and to gain awareness and prevention. ~ Crank it up loud, Marisol [Read More]

Spiralarms release new video for Exit 63 and catch them at the SoFa Street Fair

September 11, 2014

One of our favorite bands, Spiralarms have released the third video from their well received 2013 album Freedom. This time the video takes you back in time as guitarist, Tim Narducci explains, “Here is our third video from the Freedom album, “Exit 63″. It takes a step back in time and taps into moments of history that ended the free love movement. It’s a heavy visual reminder that history usually repeats its self and parades the dark side of humanity. A very heavy ride!” Check out the video here: Spiralarms have been one of our favorite bands ever since seeing them last year at Regency Ballroom with Steel Panther. They are not only fantastic musicians but also a great group of guys that deliver solid sets whenever they perform. They have a very dedicated fanbase and is far reaching worldwide. Some might think of them as a Bay Area band but these guys are world traveled and have been rocking stages all over and have an amazing draw every time. We most recently caught them when they performed [Read More]

Buckcherry release music video for Say Fuck it

September 10, 2014

Buckcherry have just released their new video for their song, Say Fuck It which is off their recently released EP, which is titled…. FUCK.  You may be wondering about the title but there is much more to the four letter word title. “This is a tribute to the word ‘fuck’… Over the years, we’ve been told so many times to get away from the honesty that makes this band special. It’s a part of who I am. It’s not about the profanity itself; it’s about using it cleverly.” – Josh Todd posted on their Facebook page.  Check out the video here: This is probably the best cover of Icona Pop’s song, I Love It, done perfectly in Buckcherry fashion!! I love it!! It is true Buckcherry with the signature vocals of Josh, swirling guitars, high energy and rock attitude. I can’t wait for the new album! We are excited to see that Buckcherry are returning to this year’s Monster Energy Aftershock in Sacramento on September 14th, they will be performing on Sunday at 3:30 on the Monster Stage [Read More]
