Blackwülf from Oakland deliver a heavy dose of rock at the DNA Lounge

April 6, 2014

Opening up for Swedish rockers, Truckfighters was a great heavy rock band from Oakland. Blackwülf put on an incredible set at the DNA Lounge last month. I was glad to have caught them live since I had heard about them but never had the opportunity to see them live. Blackwülf have a great heavy deep rock sound reminiscent of Tool or Alice In Chains but with more edge/blues in their guitars that I love and a grunge feel to the vocals! They really put on an excellent show and I am looking forward to more Bay Area shows. Check out the tribute video that Rockin Ryan made with footage and photos from their San Francisco set: You can pick up their new Limited Edition 12″ Red Vinyl of Mind Traveler as well as some cool merchandise on their website here: www.blackwulfusa.com Also make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date if they have any shows near you. They are a band, you don’t want to miss! ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: www.blackwulfusa.com [Read More]

Don’t miss Nothing More out on tour NOW!

April 3, 2014

We were excited to catch Nothing More as they played at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento last week. They were finishing up the tour with Eve To Adam, Kyng and Lacuna Coil. They once again put on an incredible high energy show! Just last year, they stole the show at Aftershock Festival and were the only band to play two sets during the festival. The first day they played the Ernie Ball stage and the second day they were moved to the Main Monster Stage. It was awesome, you can check out our post on it here. They came in to the Ace of Spades and dominated the crowd as they brought their incredible four piece percussion performance as well as a three man bass guitar solo!!! They have incredible stage presence and put on a show you don’t want to miss. They wrapped up the tour with Lacuna Coil and set right out on another tour, this time with Chevelle as well as other dates. Make sure to check the dates below and [Read More]

Deaf Havana release new video for 22 and set to tour with You Me At Six

April 3, 2014

One of my favorite rock band from the UK, Deaf Havana have released their video for their song, 22. I love this song!! It is such a fun song with catchy melodies and energetic vibe. It is one of my favorite songs of their album Old Souls. The album is filled with great songs ranging from fist in the air stadium anthems to ballads and everything in between. One thing they are not lacking is amazing songwriting skills. They are awesome! Here is their video for 22: Deaf Havana is James Veck-Gilodi (Vocals, Guitar), Chris Pennells (Guitar), Lee Wilson (Bass), Tom Ogden (Drums), Max Britton (Keyboard) and guitarist and Matthew Veck-Gilodi (Guitar, Vocals). Deaf Havana will be touring with headliner You Me At Six later this month and I am hoping to catch them at their Troubadour show. Check out the tour dates below: April 21 – Los Angeles, CA – Troubadour April 23 – Pomona, CA – The Glass House April 25 – Oakland, CA – Oakland Metro Operahouse April 26 – Portland, OR [Read More]
