Buckcherry rocks the Heritage Theater for their Spring Tour

March 17, 2014

       Buckcherry have recently begun their Spring Tour and we were lucky enough to catch them on their 2nd night at the Heritage Theater in Campbell, CA. The Heritage Theater is a historical venue that dates back to 1938 as it was built as the Campbell Union High School Auditorium. It has undergone restoration and renovations and the Heritage Theater is once again live with music and celebration. Opening for Buckcherry was local bad ass rockers, Spiralarms and British rock sensation The Virginmarys. Both bands were amazing and you can check out our features on both of them.  Buckcherry came out and rocked the house. It was awesome, there was not one person sitting as everyone was up and ready to rock. The energy was high octane and infectious as Buckcherry played a full set with old and new songs, all being fan favorites. You can check out the set list in the following photo. First, I want to tell you about the girl in the photo and give her praise as TRUE [Read More]

Long gone are they days of women in music being limited to pop or country. For the past decade, I have cheered on many female singers in the Metal or Rock genre and I am glad the music scene has embraced it as well.  I love it that we can now listen to music and enjoy the music, not because it was a rarity to find a female fronted band. It is all about the music these days and to celebrate these women in rock! I am so excited to tell you about another great female fronted rock band. Check out Rearview Ghost.
