Interview with The Relapse Symphony and catch them out on The Other Side Tour

October 9, 2015

We were so glad to make it down last Sunday to the Whisky a GoGo to catch The Relapse Symphony on New Years Day The Other Side Tour. It was the second day of the tour and the crowd was lined up early, wrapping around The Whisky. It has been quite a while since I have seen a line around the block so early. The lineup on this tour is incredible and it was a sold out show! You have a night fueled with high energy with sets by The Relapse Symphony, Eyes Set To Kill, Darksiderz, Get Scared and headliners New Years Day. We had a chance to catch up with Bret and JC before their set and are pleased to bring that interview to you here: One thing is for sure, if anyone entered the doors of The Whisky that night, being unfamiliar with The Relapse Symphony, they definitely left as new fans! They blew everyone away with their set! Every time we see Ray, JC and Bret we think they exceed our [Read More]

Interview with Days Under Authority as they rocked the Valley Fire Benefit Concert

October 8, 2015

  As you may know, we put on a Valley Fire Benefit Concert at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma last month. It was a great night as the community came together with an amazing group of musicians and the benefit was a success raising over $2,100 which will benefit the victims of the Valley Fire. All 100% of proceeds from the event are donated to Moose Lodge in Clearlake and Middletown Animal Hospital. We were honored to have Chasta Freeman Michaelis of 107.7 The Bone emcee our event. The night kicked off with the high energy set by Days Under Authority who drove up from Fresno. They hit the stage bursting with adrenaline and the crowd loved them.

Rafe Offer is bringing a concert to a living room near you – anywhere in the world. By Patrick O’Heffernan

October 2, 2015

  (London) My first SOFAR-LA concert was held at a home in Los Angeles.  I didn’t know what to expect  – maybe one or two acoustic folky duos, playing with a primitive sound system to room full of middle-aged people sitting in chairs sipping wine.  That is not what happened…it was way better. There were three alt. rock bands, plenty of electronics, fabulous sound system, wall-to-wall millennials and no chairs.  But there was a laser-like focus on the music. This happens multiple times a week in over 181 cities around the world and it all started in a London living room because a marketing guy from Chicago named Rafe Offer loved music and wanted to hear it without the noise and expense of clubs and big venues. So he created SOFAR – Sounds From A Room. He took time from managing his global musical empire of volunteers and bands to talk with me from London.   Patrick. Would you describe SOFAR Sounds for us?   Rafe.  I think the best word is movement.  We started it [Read More]

Alternative rockers His Dream of Lions have been rocking everyone with their new video for their song, Cradle. The song highlights their fresh new music that combines an alternative edge and rock in their catchy new track.  We had the chance for interview with Guitarist/Vocalist, Seth Coggeshall and are pleased to bring that you to you here: * * * * * * * * * * * Music Junkie Press: Thank you very much for taking the time out to talk with us here at Music Junkie Press. You guys did a great job with the new song and video for Cradle. Can you tell us more about that song? Seth: Of course thanks for having us! Cradle was the song that spurred us onto this new record. We spend a while reflecting on our previous work and realized the only way we could open doors for the band was by writing better music. Cradle, and the rest of the songs on this EP are the result of that process. Music Junkie Press:  We understand [Read More]
