Earlier this year, we picked hard rockers Airbourne from Australia as one of our Tuesdays Travels pick. You can read more about that here. Well today, we wanted to share with you their new video for their rockin song, “Back In The Game” which is a balls to the wall song and you will be hooked instantly!

October 15, 2013

For this Tuesdays Travels pick I want to introduce you to a band that we recently got to see perform live here in San Francisco. From Moscow, Russia I present to you hard rockers, Louna. Louna was in San Francisco performing with Heaven’s Basement and The Pretty Reckless for their Going To Hell Tour which in itself is quite historic with American, British and Russian bands together on the bill. Louna came out on stage and just rocked the place. Lou Gevorkian on vocals has not only has spectacular vocals but a high energy stage presence that reminds me of the days of the Runaways or early Pat Benatar. On bass, Vitaly Demidenko is jumping around with adrenaline flowing through his veins and gives us some crunchy bass lines. On guitars you are treated to a double dose of blistering guitars by Rouben Kazariyan and Sergey Ponkratiev. Bringing the sound all together with his lively drumming is Leonid “Pilot” Kinzbursky. Together, this band shows us that even though they may come from a country halfway across the [Read More]
