Set It Off live in Munich with Point North, Call Me Amour and TSS

February 16, 2025

It was a Monday night, not the typical day for a full-house event. Not so last week, when Set It Off came to our beautiful town of Munich. The tour had been announced months ago and it didn’t take long until the show was sold out. Last time they played here has been about a year ago, when they opened for I Prevail. It was a bigger lineup, four bands in all. All the more surprising, the venue was packed, when the first band, TSS from France, came on stage. TSS is a modern metal band. They play a mix of emo, metalcore, alternative rock, and synth elements. They’ve never been here before, but judging the crowd’s response, you wouldn’t have guessed that. The usually more calm audience was really moving to the catchy songs. The Sunday Sadness, short TSS, use french as well as english lyrics, which makes the songs a bit more special. The band signed to Fearless Records in 2024 and I’m sure they have an excellent future ahead. If you have [Read More]

The Mission takes over Great American Music Hall in San Francisco

May 11, 2024

Thursday night in San Francisco catching a concert at Great American Music Hall and I felt like I stepped back in time. The Mission made a stop before their Cruel World festival performance to deliver an incredible set in San Francisco. The band (aka Mission U.K.) had the venue packed with long time fans as well a whole new group of young fans. It was a multigenerational experience where parents who grew up with the band are bonding with their children who love the band just as much. Truly creating a unique bond and shared appreciation across generations. Simon Hinkler (guitarist) with Alex Baum (drums) hit the stage after a crowd invigorating set from Nuovo Testamento.  They kicked the set off with Beyond the Pale and that is when I was instantly sent back in time as they sounded spot on. They maintained their signature sound, seamlessly blending nostalgia with their new music that carried a contemporary edge. Their music remained as captivating and timeless as ever. The set list for the night included fan [Read More]

The Mission are returning to San Francisco on May 9th at Great American Music Hall

April 18, 2024

We are so excited to share that post-punk rockers The Mission are returning to San Francisco as they head out on a West Coast  Spring Tour. They will be playing at Great American Music Hall on May 9th and is sure to be a show you won’t want to miss. The show will be the last one right before they play at Pasadena’s annual Cruel World Festival which brings together an amazing lineup of bands; Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Adam Ant, Blondie, Interpol, etc. Vocalist/Guitarist Wayne Hussey comments,  “It’s a very eclectic bill… a lot of bands playing that I’d like to see,” he says. “It’s a shame we don’t generally get festival lineups like this in Europe. They tend to be more genre-specific. Hence, we usually just play goth/rock festivals which can be frustrating as I really don’t see us as exclusively fitting into any particular genre.” You can head over HERE and pick up tickets for the San Francisco show!
