Korn delivers EPIC set out on the must-see Serenity of Summer Tour

June 23, 2017

  Last night The Serenity of Summer Tour made a stop in Mountain View at the Shoreline Amphitheater. It was a night fueled by high energy sets from Islander, Baby Metal, Yelawolf, Stone Sour and KORN. We will be featuring individual posts highlighting each set. Of course, we must start off with the high energy kick ass set of KORN as they headline the tour. Before they hit the stage, it was a packed audience in the amphitheater.  The crowd was growing with anticipation as a black sheet draped the stage. Once the music started, the crowds erupted in screams and cheers, the drape dropped and KORN was fulling taking over the stage. It was amazing to hear how loud the audience grew as they performed. The sound was incredible as they performed a flawless set, including fan favorites as well as songs off their latest album, The Serenity of Suffering. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan:   Korn also recently released a music video for their song, Black Is The Soul: [Read More]

Gaby Moreno and Caloncho create a magical night at Grand Performances 2017

June 22, 2017

  Patrick O’Heffernan LOS ANGELES. Gaby Moreno and  Caloncho created a magical night Saturday at Grand Performances in California Plaza in downtown Los Angeles.  About 2000 people filled the two-level sunken plaza,  facing a sparkling pond in front of the expansive stage, backed by dancing water spouts and skyscrapers sporting the projected Grand Performances logo.  Lights twinkled all around, families opened picnic baskets or  queued up at the restaurants surrounding the Plaza and the bars in the Plaza.  They settled into chairs or brought their own while the sun went down, auguring the arrival of música especial.   Accompanied by urban sound effects, Caloncho and his band filtered on stage, plugged in and took their positions.  The party was on as the Sonoran-born, Guadalajara-based singer songwriter kicked it off with his soothing summer night anthems of soft tempos and Latin indie-dream pop, animated by a very active trombone/keyboard player who added not only notes, but humor.  At one point, the fans’ heroine, Guatemalan-born LA-based Latin Grammy winner Gaby Moreno joined Caloncho, eliciting applause so loud [Read More]

The House of Rock in Santa Rosa have consistently been delivering incredible shows to Sonoma County and they did it again this past weekend. The intimate premiere venue featured a night of incredible Rock with Lynch Mob hitting the stage Friday night. The show started off with a fierce set by FeatherWitch, incredible cover band featuring hits from the 70’s and 80’s. The crowd loved them and were singing along to their favorites. Check out photos of their set by our Rockin Ryan: The crowd erupted in cheer as Lynch Mob hit the stage. Their set was kicked off with high energy that continued until they stepped off the stage. The highlight was when they played Just Got Lucky (Dokken) which they mentioned was the first time the band performed it live. The crowd felt honored to be part of the special performance. The concert was made even more spectacular with the addition of the excellent sound system and lighting that House of Rock boasts. Check out photos from their set: You can catch Lynch [Read More]

Shouting “Hep Hep”  Parlor Social blows the roof off at The Mint with neo ragtime. By Patrick O’Heffernan

June 20, 2017

    LOS ANGELES  The Mint LA was packed shoulder to shoulder when Dessy Di Lauro, resplendent in a brilliant white dinner jacket and her red hair exploding out from beneath a black skullcap took the microphone and called out to the audience, “Are You all ready to have some fun?”  As “Yeah!” echoed around the venue, she and husband piano player-accordionist, Ric’key Pageot  danced in a tight circle on the stage leading the audience in clapping, finger-snapping and singing their signature song “Let Me Hear You Say Hep Hep” . The party was on and the room was lovin’ it.   The band was opening for New Orleans-based Big Sam’s Funky Nation, whose horn-led, jazz rock rhythms kept the momentum going as part of the Hunnypot Live Music night at the Mint.   Max Nickou opened the evening, warming up the growing crowd with sky-high guitar chops and solid rock with a twist.   Proving again why Parlor Social is the undeniably best live act in Los Angeles if not the nation, their “Feathered Fro-hawk- Futuristic-Art-Deco-Centric-Harlem-Renaissance-Hep-Music” [Read More]

June 8, 2017

    (Los Angeles) Back from a triumphant tour in New York, the Greek-British goddess of song, Athena Andreadis, celebrated returning to her adopted home of Los Angles with a sprawling 18-song set at Genghis Cohen’s concert room featuring songs from her album and contributions by a brace of great musician friends. Backed by Deron Johnson on keyboard, Michael Ward on guitar, and Jimmy Paxton on drums – all stars in their own right – Athena was in a lively mood as she danced, bounced, laughed and crooned through the evening, carrying a very happy standing room only crowd with her. Joining her over the performance were Warner-Chappell blue-eyed soul singer Conner Pledger, Angela Parrish –  known to millions from her song “Another Day of Sun,”  which opened the Oscar-winning film musical La La Land, folk-singer Sarah Melson whose music is familiar to fans of Grey’s Anatomy and other TV series, and singer/songwriter Joy Autumn who recently released the Sunny Lemonade album about her move to LA from Washington State.
