Midnight Til Morning Close U.S. Tour with Stunning SF Finale

November 17, 2025

Last night, San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom was transformed into a place of pure musical electricity as Midnight Til Morning delivered a breathtaking, stellar performance. The group born from the Netflix series Building the Band, has a uniquely modern origin story: musicians forming a band without ever seeing one another, focusing entirely on chemistry, creativity, and instinct rather than appearances. What emerged from that experiment was a remarkably cohesive and charismatic Australian/American boy band featuring Shane Appell, Zach Newbould, Conor Smith and Mason Watts, a group whose artistry has expanded far beyond what viewers witnessed on the show. Opening the night was an unforgettable set by Adrian Lyles, whose passionate performance immediately won over the crowd. His presence was magnetic, his vocals smooth, and his connection with the audience undeniable, earning him cheers from both longtime supporters and brand-new fans swept up in the moment. When Midnight Til Morning finally took the stage, the venue erupted. The set began with audio clips of the members reflecting on their love of music and the journey that brought [Read More]

Jane Leo delivers high energy alt-pop set at August Hall

May 28, 2024

We first introduced you to Jane Leo last fall as they opened for Cannons in Oakland at the Fox Theater. In addition to them performing on the Truly Stage at BottleRock Napa this past weekend, they returned to open for Cannons at the August Hall.  The sold out show had Jane Leo as the opener, yet they delivered a performance worthy of a headliner. The crowd instantly fell in love with the alt-pop duo. Jane Leo consists of Jane Ellen Bryant and Daniel Leopold. Despite being a duo, Jane Leo along with their drum machine and synthesizer, creates a big, full bodied sound that filled the room. Their high energy was infectious as it spread through the packed venue. Their performance blends catchy melodies with vibrant beats got the crowd dancing. Their stage presence guaranteed a lively and unforgettable experience, many of the fans seeing them for the first time. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: We were so excited to hear them perform many of their new songs and their [Read More]

The Last Dinner Party deliver a pure night of ecstatic revelry at the El Rey Theatre

November 14, 2023

  November 6th, 2023 was a night that will go down in our music history.  We travelled from San Francisco to attend the first Los Angeles show of The Last Dinner Party at the El Rey Theatre.  The show was sold out and was one of only 5 US shows on their tour. This was a night not to be missed. We first heard The Last Dinner Party on our local radio station Live 105 as they were featuring up and coming bands.  They played Nothing Matters and we were hooked from the first listen. We voraciously searched for more information on this English band and sat in sadness as they didn’t have any shows yet in the US.  We spent months playing their songs and wishing for a time to catch them live. Then they announced their 5 US tour dates and we immediately booked our trip.  We were sure to be in attendance for this event! The Last Dinner Party is made up of  powerhouse females that deliver a baroque-pop-rock style that is [Read More]

Foreigner delivers stellar set at Shoreline for The Historic Farewell Tour

August 25, 2023

Last night was not your typical Thursday night in the Bay Area and it is one that will remain strong in our memories. We were at the Shoreline Amphitheatre to see Foreigner – The Historic Farewell tour with Loverboy. The venue was quickly filling up as a couple high school choirs were battling out.  They got the crowd warmed up and the energy quickly elevated the second Loverboy took the stage. Loverboy kicked it off strong with Notorious and the crowd erupted in cheers, they followed it up with a personal favorite Lucky Ones. The hits kept on coming, one after another and the crowd was soaking it all in. You could feel the nostalgia in the air as many of us were reliving our high school years.  It was incredible to watch groups of friends come together to revisit a band that was the soundtrack of their youth and to witness Loverboy deliver the songs nearly exactly ss they sounded years ago! I was sitting near a couple of large groups who were dancing [Read More]

  The Canadian indie rock band Calpurnia delivered a truly entertaining set last night at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. The 4-piece band was founded in 2017 and is led by Finn Wolfhard, known for his role in the highly acclaimed series Stranger Things. Finn met drummer Malcolm Craig on the set of a music video and the chemistry was immediate, adding Ayla Tesler-Mabe and Jack Anderson to the mix.  Together their passion for music was evident and highlighted through their music. They released their debut single “City Boy” on 7 March 2018. Last night at the SOLD OUT show the crowd was ready for a night of great music.  When we arrived, hours prior to the doors opening, the line of dedicated fans wrapped around over two city blocks. The elation raced through the crowds as the young fans could hardly contain their excitement. The night kicked off with a killer set by Spendtime Palace, a 5 piece rock band from Costa Mesa who won the crowd over instantly. Check out some photos of their set by [Read More]
