Lullwater brings their high energy set to Slim’s in San Francisco

April 18, 2016

  We were so excited to see that Lullwater was hitting the road with Candlebox out on their Disappearing in Airports Tour. They made a stop this past weekend at Slim’s in San Francisco and we weren’t going to miss it! We caught Lullwater last year when they rolled through Sacramento at the Ace of Spades for the Massive Collision Tour with Amaranthe and Butcher Babies. It was quite a night of high energy music that kept us fueled for the week! Well, Lullwater did it again. They kicked ass as they brought their high energy rock set to Slim’s! They really bring an energy to the stage that infects the crowd and has them begging for more. They spoiled us with songs off their recently released album, Revival which was recorded on analog and is a raw natural beauty. If there were any people in the audience who entered the venue that night not knowing Lullwater, they soon left as new fans. Everybody was in awe of their set and the adrenaline was racing around the [Read More]

April 18, 2016

  The multi-platinum rockers Candlebox have returned to San Francisco for a stop on their Disappearing In Airports tour. They played at Slim’s on Saturday night and it was a packed house!  They are touring in support of their highly anticipated album, Disappearing in Airports, which is set for an April 22nd release. The night kicked off with a great set by Peter RG as he got the crowd ready to rock and you will see a couple Candlebox members in Peter RG. Next up was the insanely energetic Lullwater. We caught them last year out on tour with Butcher Babies and Amaranthe and it was great to see them raise the roof off Slim’s. The crowd was filled to what must have been capacity as there was no room to move about as Candlebox hit the stage. Everyone wanted to be up front for their incredible set. They were amazing and their sound was timeless as many longtime fans found themselves back in the ’90s singing all of their favorites.  What was quite impressive [Read More]

  Los Angeles rockers VAMPIRES EVERYWHERE are back and we just can’t get enough of them. Last night, they kicked off their tour with Filter and Orgy for the “Make America Hate Again Tour” in San Francisco at Slim’s. Just last month they released their new album, Ritual and now they are trekking out on a 30 date North American tour in support of the album. The tour kicked off last night and it was a great success! From the second they hit the stage, the energy was ablaze and the crowd was ready to ROCK! They not only delivered a kick ass set with many songs off their latest album, but even pulled out an old one for those long time fans. Their cover of Hozier’s “Take Me To Church” was eclectic and stellar. Michael Vampire has quite a charismatic stage presence that draws in the crowd and gets them moving. His vocals are not only powerful, but deliver a throaty sultry edge that is equally mesmerizing. Matti Hoffman was shredding like a madman on guitar [Read More]
