A highlight of BottleRock 2023; Paris Jackson at Jam Cellars Stage

June 5, 2023

On the second day of BottleRock, Paris Jackson took the task of opening up the show and she performed quite a set. Her music style is a blend of grunge pop rock and pleased the crowd.  Being the daughter of Michael Jackson, many didn’t know what to expect of her performance but afterwards told us how they were very pleasantly surprised.  We had listened to her before and were excited to finally catch her live.  She did not disappoint with her captivating vocals. Check out photos of her set by our Rockin Ryan: We look forward to future shows. Make sure to visit her social media sites and stay up to date on her latest news.

Starcrawler deliver explosive high energy set at BottleRock 2023

June 3, 2023

We love finding new bands to cover at BottleRock, but we love it even more when we finally get to see a band that we have been loving for a while! Their album She Said is always on our playlist.  That band was Starcrawler for us and they were a BottleRock highlight as they delivered a set that was non stop energy and satisfied our need for their live performances.  It actually left us longing for the next time we get to see them live. We were able to chat with them a bit before their set and you can check out that brief interview here: The band consists of  Arrow De Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash and brother Bill Cash on pedal steel/guitar, drummer Seth Carolina, and bassist Tim Franco. They have two studio albums and their recent single RoadKill is one of our fave tracks and even more so, to see them play it live. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: Tour Dates: JUN 3 SAT            Franklin Music Hall [Read More]

Idles served up a brutally powerful set as the RE:SET Concert Series kicks off

June 2, 2023

We have been waiting not so patiently for the Idles to play in the US. They have been one of our favorite bands and with the additional popularity with their music on the Netflix series Peaky Blinders, their fanbase has grown immensely. They might have garnered a lot of attention from the series but their music has been serving up frenzied rhythms and angsty commentary for nearly 15 years. They were performing at the Frost Amphitheater – Stanford for the RE:SET Concert Series.  They had the crowd fueled with adrenaline and quickly the mosh pit was in full force.  It was amazing to witness them perform  under the sun at the outdoor venue. They gave us a full one hour set that was non stop! Check out the photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: You can catch them out on tour. Head over to their website and check the dates. You don’t want to miss them!  You can check out a video of them performing “Never Fight a Man with a Perm” from [Read More]

GRETA VAN FLEET delivers stellar performance in Sacramento on final Dreams In Gold tour

March 30, 2023

  One thing is certain Greta Van Fleet holds a special place for us.  Their music back in 2017 was not only the soundtrack to our tumultuous ups and downs but it was what provided healing for us as we lost our home and business during the Santa Rosa 2017 Wildfires.  We have enjoyed the journey and growth through their music in the past several years and with the new songs, they have continued to grow in every way. We recently caught Greta Van Fleet in Sacramento at the Golden1 Center for their final performance on the Dreams in Gold (DIG) tour.  It was an epic show that not only was the perfect way to close out the DIG era, but ushered us in to the next phase of their musical journey. The show kicked off with a killer set by one of our faves, two-time Grammy nominated band,  The Rival Sons.  The crowd rocked out to their energetic set and they treated them to a performance of their new song, Rapture which is off [Read More]

The Amity Affliction finish their European tour in Munich

February 6, 2023

Last Saturday fans were in for a treat at the Backstage in Munich. It was the last stop on The Amity Affliction’s tour through the EU/UK in 2023. Actually, it should have happened in October 2022, but it was postponed back then. Munich was one of the places that were sold out. It’s not often that even the road to the venue is blocked by all the cars that were waiting for a parking space. The queue in front of the venue was gigantic and when Seeyouspacecowboy started their set about 45 minutes after doors, there still were people pouring through the doors. All the bands put on great shows, but when The Amity Affliction started their set with “Pittsburgh” everyone went wild. I’ve never seen this venue so packed. The crowd was singing every song at the top of their lungs. Crowd surfers were “handed” to the front all smiles and the minute they got back on their feet, they went back into the audience to do it all over again. They played a [Read More]

Architects – FTTWTE tour finally hits Germany

January 13, 2023

Originally, the “For Those That Wish To Exist” was supposed to hit German stages last year. Unfortunately, the band had to postpone the tour. Almost a year later and also one album later, the band finally made it. I was able to catch the band live in Munich and believe me, they made the wait worthwhile. But first off let’s talk about the bands that opened the night. Show start was supposed to be 7 pm. At 6.50 pm the first opener got on stage a little bit ahead of the schedule. Maybe not the best idea, because the first bands of the night always have to fight with the venue not being very crowded, let alone when the show starts earlier than announced. I don’t really get, why people don’t take the chance to check out opening acts, esp. this one – Sleep Token. The band is from London. Their set is probably best described as dark and gloomy, which totally fits the sound. They were not unknown to parts of the audience and [Read More]
