Bad ass blues rockers DELTA ROSE kill it at The Troubadour

May 12, 2014

We have been featuring the bands from Saturday night at the Troubadour which was the CD release show of Diamond Lane. Make sure to ready our features on all the bands; The Book of Curtis, Bad Romantics, Love and a .38, and Diamond Lane. Now we are ready to share with you our feature of Delta Rose. Delta Rose had the last spot of the night for the record release party of Diamond Lane but that didn’t stop them from coming out and delivering a smokin set of rock and roll infused with blues and a groove that gets into your soul! With there being a late start, Delta Rose played a shorter set which left me wanting so much more as they did a kick ass set! One thing is for sure, this band is one of the best live bands out there. They are such a young band but have showmanship that is well beyond their years. While many young bands are out there creating music that sounds as if it is a carbon copy of eachother, [Read More]

Magic was in the air for the stellar set by Love and a .38 at the Troubadour

There must have been some magic in the air because I could never imagine Love and a .38 to top their last performance that I saw of theirs back in March at the Troubadour. Well, they certainly did just that. It was a set filled with some old Love and a .38 tricks as well as some new ones up their sleeves. They came out full 150% adrenaline running through their veins and they had one thing on their mind…. To blow our minds with their show. Ryan was as charismatic as ever and had the crowd under his rock and roll spell with his powerful vocals and seductive style. At one moment, I felt like Ryan was channeling Jim Morrison and was as engaging [Read More]
