Get ready for the return of Delta Rose to the Troubadour in Hollywood on May 10th. They are going to be there for the CD release show of Diamond Lane and they always deliver a 100% intense ROCK N ROLL performance that is not to be missed!

They have a new 6 song EP that they are finishing up and it is stellar, from start to finish.

Long time rockers, TESLA announce new album to be released in June!

April 28, 2014

One of my long time favorite rock band from Sacramento, TESLA have announced a new album set for release this summer. TESLA locked themselves away for weeks writing the new album and came up with fourteen solid tracks which will be SIMPLICITY. The album was recorded at their bassist Brian Wheat’s very own J Street Recorders. Legendary engineer Michael Wagener (Metallica, Skid Row, Motley Crue) was then tapped to put the final touches in place. The release date has been set for June 10th, via Tesla Electric Company Recording’s arrangement with Entertainment One Music and Distribution. It is so exciting to hear that new music is only a couple months away. TESLA has been one of my favorite rock bands since forming in 1981. I have probably enjoyed their shows about a couple dozens time over the years and each time, I leave with an even higher appreciation for them! TESLA is Frank Hannon, Brian Wheat, Jeff Keith, Troy Luccketta and Dave Rude.   TESLA performed a KILLER set on the Monsters of Rock Cruise and they have quite an extensive [Read More]

Feel Never Real is ready to dish up some straight up hard driving Rock and Roll

April 28, 2014

Straight from Texas are the hard rockers, Feel Never Real. These guys have a very unique and quite addictive sound. Be warned, you will get instantly hooked from the first listen, I know we were! Their music is straight up rock and roll yet with influences ranging from Southern Rock to Heavy Rock. Imagine them as an offspring of Volbeat and Saving Abel with a blend of Pantera. What you get is a hard driving rock sound that is fueled with bad ass guitars, hard hitting yet not overbearing drums, and powerful vocals. Feel Never Real is Tim Jones on Vocals & Guitar, Mathew Cass on Bass & Vocals and Shea Lange on Drums & Vocals. These three come together and bring a very big well rounded sound. They most recently released their album, Rock, Rebel, Gold  through Pavement Entertainment and it is awesome! If I had to tell you which are my favorite songs, that would be impossible since literally all 10 tracks are killer, each one so different and yet so likable. The album starts right [Read More]

New Years Day stops in at Slim’s in San Francisco for the We Love Tour

April 26, 2014

This week was filled with great concerts and it was awesome to see New Year’s Day again as they came to Slim’s in San Francisco on Thursday night. They are on the We Love Tour featuring Combichrist and William Control. Once again they delivered a high energy intense set that had the crowd in awe. I think they set a record for crowd surfing during a set at Slim’s which rarely tolerates. It was probably the most energetic crowd that I have witnessed at their performances, full on mosh pit, crowd participation and infectious passion raging through the crowd. As I told you the last time I saw them, they once again made lifelong fans with their set. That is what happens when you see them live, you can’t help but harness their energy and enjoy the show and join the New Years Day family! Jake Jones on the guitar is like a modern day Doyle as he stomps around feeding the masses with his energy. Nikki Misery reminds me of the charismatic Marilyn Manson and is [Read More]
