Black Pistol Fire and Pink Fuzz shine at The Independent in San Francisco

March 6, 2026

  For a midweek show in San Francisco, Black Pistol Fire and Pink Fuzz absolutely delivered. The Independent was buzzing with energy on a Wednesday night. Pink Fuzz kicked off the show with fuzz-heavy rock and roll riffs that instantly got the crowd moving. The band features a brother and sister duo who traded off vocal duties while the drummer kept everything locked in tight, giving the set a gritty, raw energy that set the tone for the night. What can I say about Black Pistol Fire? They never disappoint. From the first time I saw them open for The Struts back in 2016 to catching them again at BottleRock, they always bring it and this show was no different. They delivered another epic, high-energy set packed with adrenaline. At one point they even jumped into the crowd, making sure everyone was just as amped as they were. Definitely a night that reminded me why I love seeing them live. I can’t wait to catch them again.

Girl Tones Bring Raw, High Energy to the Cornerstone

January 30, 2026

We had a chance to catch Girl Tones opening for Dexter and the Moonrocks  at the Cornerstone in Berkeley, and we were especially excited to see them in such a small, intimate venue. Knowing they’re on a serious upward rise, it felt like one of those “right place, right time” moments. The two-girl group immediately brings to mind that raw, stripped-down energy reminiscent of the White Stripes — a drummer and a guitarist/singer, with both of them sharing vocal duties. From the moment they hit the stage, they delivered an incredibly high-energy set that had the crowd moving and dancing from start to finish. Their chemistry was undeniable, and they absolutely owned the room. We can’t wait to catch them again at this year’s BottleRock Festival in Napa, where we’ll be bringing you full coverage — and hopefully an interview as well. Dexter and The Moonrocks hit the stage and the energy continued on. The crowd was dancing and singing along from start to finish. Make sure to visit the social media sites and stay [Read More]

The last night of a tour always carries a special kind of magic, and The Aces brought every bit of that energy to San Francisco as they wrapped up their Gold Star Baby Tour at the iconic Bimbo’s 365.

Midnight Til Morning Close U.S. Tour with Stunning SF Finale

November 17, 2025

Last night, San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom was transformed into a place of pure musical electricity as Midnight Til Morning delivered a breathtaking, stellar performance. The group born from the Netflix series Building the Band, has a uniquely modern origin story: musicians forming a band without ever seeing one another, focusing entirely on chemistry, creativity, and instinct rather than appearances. What emerged from that experiment was a remarkably cohesive and charismatic Australian/American boy band featuring Shane Appell, Zach Newbould, Conor Smith and Mason Watts, a group whose artistry has expanded far beyond what viewers witnessed on the show. Opening the night was an unforgettable set by Adrian Lyles, whose passionate performance immediately won over the crowd. His presence was magnetic, his vocals smooth, and his connection with the audience undeniable, earning him cheers from both longtime supporters and brand-new fans swept up in the moment. When Midnight Til Morning finally took the stage, the venue erupted. The set began with audio clips of the members reflecting on their love of music and the journey that brought [Read More]

We Are Twenty One Pilots And So Are You: A Night of Unity at BMO Stadium

October 28, 2025

BMO Stadium pulsed with excited chatter long before anything took the stage. It was Saturday, October 25, and both nights of this Twenty One Pilots weekend were sold out. Fans slowly flowed into the massive venue, buzzing like electricity, their anticipation tangible in the cool evening air. Across the stadium, fans waved their phone flashlights back and forth, hoping the other side would notice and join them. Clikkies have always been known for their fierce sense of community, and here it was shining bright even before note one. Everywhere you looked, fans were decked out top to bottom in merch, homemade recreations of Tyler and Josh’s iconic outfits, and even Ned cosplays straight from Trench. Spirits high. Hearts ready.  Dayglow Sets the Stadium Alight The roar when the lights went out could have blown the roof off. Fans chanted “Dayglow! Dayglow! Dayglow!” until the indie-pop dream himself appeared, soaking the entire arena in feel-good energy. Sloan bounced into the set with so much force that he literally snapped a guitar string in the very first [Read More]

Kublai Khan, Drain, Gideon and Guilt Trip deliver explosive night at San Jose Civic

October 25, 2025

  Kublai Khan is about to finish up their headlining U.S. tour, and they left an explosive, high-energy mark at the San Jose Civic last night. The place was shaking from the first note to the final roar of the crowd. Guilt Trip from Manchester kicked things off, coming out with all the intensity and force the crowd needed to start the night off heavy. They lit the fuse for what was about to become a wild ride. Shortly after, Gideon took the stage, and within minutes the crowd turned into a sea of crowd surfers. Everywhere you looked, people were flying over the barricade. It was amazing. Then came one of the highlights of the night… Drain. Our West Coast locals straight out of Santa Cruz brought a stadium-worthy performance to the Civic. Their set was adrenaline-fueled, fun, captivating, and pure chaos in the best way possible. Their sign says it perfectly: “Drain is not responsible for what you do in the next 30 minutes.” So true, because anything you’ve been holding inside gets [Read More]

October 16, 2025

Last night at The Masonic was pure madness,  in the best possible way. Lorna Shore headlined an absolutely killer lineup with The Black Dahlia Murder, Shadow of Intent, and Peeling Flesh. From the first note to the last scream, it was a full-on night of energy, adrenaline, and dedicated fans ready to lose themselves in the music. Peeling Flesh kicked things off with insane energy that had the crowd instantly fired up. Within seconds, the mosh pits exploded into chaos with arms flying, bodies colliding, total mayhem. They set the tone perfectly for what was about to come. Next up was Shadow of Intent, and since it was my first time seeing them live, I didn’t know what to expect,but they completely blew me away.
