Alien Ken, new album “Change is Constant” is a must have for rockers!

March 21, 2016

Alien Ken is back at it with a new album, Change is Constant which is the follow up to his debut Contact which was released in 2014.  The new album is a full on straight up bad ass ROCK ALBUM! There is no smoke and mirrors, gimmicks or bandwagon songs, this is one complete album that will ROCK YOU. The mysterious and eccentric Alien Ken from Zeta Reticculi/Norway first captured our attention with his debut album and now has us completely hooked with his new songs. The album kicks right off with Dualstar that draws you in with the powerful gritty vocals and fierce guitars. Check out the video for the track which was recorded in Frog Leap Studios by Arvid Tjelta:   Concrete Plastic starts off with a punk angsty intro and then catapults into commanding vocals, chunky guitars and fist in the air rock. Veni Vidi Vici is one of my personal faves and has a sweet blues feel dipped into smoking guitars and high energy. Third has a theatrical dark feel and really [Read More]

March 4, 2016

  We are very excited to announce The Lumineers as our Featured BottleRock Napa Band of the Day. I have been waiting to catch The Lumineers live and can’t wait for them to perform at this year’s festival. Their folk rock is amazing and completely connects the listener as they take you on a musical journey of emotion. They bring a depth to their sound which is challenging for a three person band, but definitely not for them. They paint a picture with their music and you are simply captivated with them. They are set to release their new album, Cleopatra on April 8th and are setting out on a World Tour. Many of the dates have already been sold out! Their new song Ophelia is mesmerizing and will have you begging for more. We can’t wait for the new album and to their set at BottleRock!

BottleRock Napa Featured Band of the Day is The Deadlies

March 1, 2016

  We are set to kick off our BottleRock Napa Featured Band of the Day. What better way to kick it off than with the fun surf punk rock band, The Deadlies. They are truly one of the funnest bands to check out during the festival. The Deadlies can be described as a California surf punk/rock band with a little Honky Tonk and Country thrown in.  One thing is for sure, when you listen to The Deadlies, you can’t help but move around and have some fun! They are “paying homage to the Ventures Dick Dale and the Chantays as well as the California Honky-tonk sound of Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam while keeping an under lying presence of the California surf punk scene that brought us the Dickies, Agent Orange and Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs.” We caught up with a couple of the guys at NAMM 2016 check out our quick chat: Band Members: James Patrick Regan – Guitar Bob St. Laurent – Bass Tymber – Drums Music:  The Deadlies  available on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-deadlies/id994717753 [Read More]
