Lullwater stops in Sacramento for the Massive Collision Tour!

December 2, 2015

We have been talking a lot about the great music of Lullwater and we finally got the chance to check them out live this past weekend. They made a stop in Sacramento at the Ace of Spades for the Massive Collision Tour with Amaranthe and Butcher Babies. It was quite a night of high energy music that kept us fueled for the week! Lullwater kicked off the night with their alternative singed hard rock! They really bring an energy to the stage that infects the crowd and has them begging for more. It was great to see them perform songs off their recently released album, Revival which was recorded on analog and is a raw natural beauty.  We had the chance to chat with vocalist/rhythm guitarist, John Strickland before their set and you can check out that interview here: It was quite a night. In addition to their set, John came out and sang vocals on a couple songs with Amaranthe. It was an extra special treat and I was in awe of his natural ease [Read More]

The entire band has truly captivating stage presences and you can’t help but be left in awe of their performance.

Homecoming: an interview with Hector Flores of Las Cafeteras. By Patrick O’Heffernan

November 16, 2015

  Las Cafeteras is musical family/band made up of seven men and women who have more fun on stage than just about any other band I know, and who are deeply involved in issues of justice for their community. Based in EastLos – East Los Angeles — traditionally the center of Latino culture in this sprawling city that at one time was Mexico – Las Cafeteras  brings a combination of tuneful joy and politically-focused messages that makes their  high energy American Latin Music the perfect ambassador for the EastLos sound, attracting a diverse audience nationwide. Their music fuses traditional Afro-Mexican music with modern rhythms and storytelling to deliver inspiration for community involvement and justice.  And they do it in a way that makes everyone, regardless of race, get up and dance.   Las Cafeteras has been on tour since September, crisscrossing the nation in the last of a series of tours that have kept them from their homes in LA for almost a full year. This week they came home and will celebrate with a Homecoming [Read More]
