October 12, 2023

West Coast’s Biggest Rock Festival Aftershock presented by Danny Wimmer Presents was a true success, bringing non stop rock and metal for four days.

The four stages had something for everyone and remained packed each day. The crowds arrived early so they wouldn’t miss even the starting bands. The lines moved smoothly and the park was full of lush grass for the fans to spread out on. Whether you were there for the headliner or two, the lineup made sure you left with many new favorite bands. Some of our favorite bands were some that we had never seen live before. Amber Wild put on a spectacular rockin set, Wargasm brought a punk rock Plasmatics vibe to the stage and we loved every minute of it! Asava performed one of the best rock covers of Kate Bush’s Running Up the Hill [Read More]
