Don’t miss Nothing More out on tour NOW!

April 3, 2014

We were excited to catch Nothing More as they played at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento last week. They were finishing up the tour with Eve To Adam, Kyng and Lacuna Coil. They once again put on an incredible high energy show! Just last year, they stole the show at Aftershock Festival and were the only band to play two sets during the festival. The first day they played the Ernie Ball stage and the second day they were moved to the Main Monster Stage. It was awesome, you can check out our post on it here. They came in to the Ace of Spades and dominated the crowd as they brought their incredible four piece percussion performance as well as a three man bass guitar solo!!! They have incredible stage presence and put on a show you don’t want to miss. They wrapped up the tour with Lacuna Coil and set right out on another tour, this time with Chevelle as well as other dates. Make sure to check the dates below and [Read More]

Deaf Havana release new video for 22 and set to tour with You Me At Six

April 3, 2014

One of my favorite rock band from the UK, Deaf Havana have released their video for their song, 22. I love this song!! It is such a fun song with catchy melodies and energetic vibe. It is one of my favorite songs of their album Old Souls. The album is filled with great songs ranging from fist in the air stadium anthems to ballads and everything in between. One thing they are not lacking is amazing songwriting skills. They are awesome! Here is their video for 22: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0B3SMtKIqE&feature=youtu.be] Deaf Havana is James Veck-Gilodi (Vocals, Guitar), Chris Pennells (Guitar), Lee Wilson (Bass), Tom Ogden (Drums), Max Britton (Keyboard) and guitarist and Matthew Veck-Gilodi (Guitar, Vocals).

Kingsborough is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

April 2, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Kingsborough. Today was a bit of a rough day for me so I wanted to feature a band that helped me through this rough patch. So today I wanted to feature the soulful music of Kingsborough. They have an amazing sound that when you take a listen, you might think you entered a time machine and found yourself at a Day on the Green in the late 70s. If I was to describe them I would say they are a mix of The Allman Brothers and The Black Crowes. These are five guys from right here in Santa Rosa and they are bringing their big sound to Bottle Rock Napa this year. Their songs are filled with passionate soulful vocals, fierce guitar solos, sweet harmonies and smooth melodies. Today, when I was listening to Little Miss, it completely just takes me to a better place. The guitars in that song just danced with my soul and fueled me with energy. One of my favorite songs is [Read More]

Blue October reawakens your soul with their spectacular performance on the SWAY Tour

April 1, 2014

Last night was pretty much the highlight for me of 2014! We went out to see Blue October at the Ace of Spades, as they have begun another leg of the SWAY tour. I caught them last year as they put on a spectacular performance in San Francisco. Every time I leave a Blue October concert, I catch myself saying the exact same thing… I never thought they could exceed how excellent they were at their last performance and every time, they prove me wrong. They hit it out of the ballpark each and every time. Last night was another one of those unbelievable sets. We arrived to a packed house on a Monday night at the Ace of Spades. One thing I love about Blue October fans, is there is no cookie cutter fan. Blue October‘s music extends across genres, generations and cultures. The room was filled with a diverse passionate crowd that comes together for the pure love of Blue October‘s music. Many fans who have never met, were soon sharing their Blue [Read More]

Barenaked Ladies is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

April 1, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Barenaked Ladies. Today I am featuring one of my very personal favorites on the Bottle Rock lineup for this year. Barenaked Ladies often referred as BNL, has been one of my favorite bands for well over 20 years. I think if I look hard enough I could still find my original Gordon CD or maybe even the cassette tape that a friend from Canada gave to me prior. I remember the first time I saw them live was in a club in British Columbia and I was there for business and went to check out a local show with some friends. I had no idea who they were or what their music was like. I was your typical 20 year old something that enjoyed all types of music. Well, they came out and performed and sang fun loving songs with so much charisma and energy that I was instantly hooked. When I went back home to the SF Bay Area I told all my friends about them, and [Read More]

Check out the song here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U98qkjbYek&feature=youtu.be] It is nice to see the band putting out new music. Of course, you will always have the fans focus on the obvious that Adam Gontier is not part of the band anymore but you need to focus on what is Three Days Grace today. We wish Adam the best in his music endeavors just as we wish all the best to Three Days Grace. So let’s all take a listen to the new song and pick it up tomorrow on Itunes! One of my favorite quotes rings true: “You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.”. So let’s look forward to the future! I will leave you with a [Read More]
