Lucius Arthur Captivates at Brick and Mortar San Francisco

July 30, 2026

Tuesday night at Brick & Mortar Music Hall was the perfect reminder of why live music in intimate venues is so special. Opening the night was Kin + Me, who kicked things off with an energetic DJ remix set that had the crowd dancing early and set the tone for a fun night ahead. Next up was San Francisco indie rock band Slow Coast and they absolutely delivered. Their music is the perfect blend of feel-good vibes and  summer energy, creating a sound that’s instantly inviting. Their infectious performance quickly won over the audience, with the crowd fully embracing every song. They brought just the right mix of catchy melodies, driving rhythms, and uplifting energy, making them the perfect lead-in for the night’s headliner. Headlining the evening was Lucius Arthur, an artist I’ve been looking forward to seeing for quite some time. I’ve been following him on Instagram and have loved everything he’s been releasing, so finally seeing him live was something I had been anticipating. Somehow, he exceeded every expectation. From the moment he [Read More]

A Night of Pure Chaos – Behemoth and The Godless IV Tour in San Francisco

April 16, 2026

There are metal shows… and then there are nights like The Godless IV Tour when the intensity hits on another level entirely. When Behemoth brought their relentless force to The Regency Ballroom on April 15th, it wasn’t just a concert, it was a full-on assault that left the crowd stunned and exhilarated. The night kicked off strong with Immolation, who came in with incredible energy and absolutely shredded the stage. Their set leaned heavy into their older material while still showcasing tracks from their newer album and the crowd was loving every second of it. The mix of old and new hit perfectly, keeping the momentum high right from the start. Rotting Christ traveled all the way from Greece and brought a powerful, immersive presence that had the California crowd in awe. Their stage presence was intense and captivating, feeding off the crowd while giving that energy right back. From crushing riffs to thunderous drums, their set built into a full-blown frenzy, with a solid circle pit forming as the energy surged through the room. [Read More]

Rock and Metal Legends Shine at Shoreline Amphitheatre

October 15, 2025

The night at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View was one for the books,  a true celebration of rock and metal that spanned generations. The show started off as Corrosion of Conformity hit the stage with raw intensity, setting the tone for what was to come. Their heavy riffs and tight grooves had the crowd chanting C-O-C with fists in the air. For me it was a nostalgic moment, taking me back to the first time I saw them perform at The Stone in San Francisco (oh what a venue that was!) all with the same unrelenting energy, the same fire, just on a much bigger stage. As the amphitheater filled to capacity, Alice Cooper took over and transformed the venue into his own twisted theatrical world. Watching Alice perform is never just attending a concert,  it’s stepping into a darkly whimsical rock opera, rich with storytelling, shock, and production. I was grinning from ear to ear and couldn’t help but think back to seeing him at The Warfield, where I first experienced that same sense [Read More]

The track also sees the group team up with Kybba, the Italy-raised, Amsterdam-based DJ/producer behind the Basshall Movement. The group teased the track alongside tons of new music this summer around the world, most recently at this week’s Notting Hill Carnival in London—their first shows there in more than a decade—and Fête de la Musique in Paris this June.   With the dawn of a new chapter for Major Lazer, Diplo has recruited British-Jamaican breakout America Foster into the fold.
