Interview with Ricky & The Swedes

January 6, 2015

We told you last month about a great band we had a chance to check out at the Jingle Bells Rock and Metal Fest in San Francisco at the DNA Lounge, Ricky & The Swedes. They are fun, electric, energetic and will make sure you are having a good time at their show. They deliver an energetic rock set they describe as “Sex Rock”. They really caught our attention and we only caught a couple of their songs. I love their vibe which meshes pop punk with a doo wop rock flair. Their energy is infectious and they invite their audience to join them in having a good time. We had the chance to interview Ricky and Arthur after their set and are pleased to bring that to you here:   Here are some photos from their set at DNA in San Francisco. You can check them all out by visiting our post: Ricky & the Swedes at DNA. Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. [Read More]

  Shortly before Christmas we had the opportunity to catch BullyWest perform at the DNA Lounge for the Jingle Bell Rock and Metal Fest. It was great to see the band perform again as they blew us away when we saw them at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma earlier this year. They once again proved to be a band to not miss when they come playing at a venue near you. The powerful trio of rockers deliver a sound that blends everything from grunge/rock/alternative/blues/americana and classic rock into their own unique style that will capture your attention every time. We featured vocalist, Manny Velez as Day 8 of our 12 Days of Vocalists and you can read more about that here:  Day 8 of 12 Days of Vocalists.
