Singer Songwriter BabyJake brings the fun to The Independent San Francisco

October 19, 2023

Nashville based singer songwriter BabyJake brought the fun to San Francisco with a tour stop at The Independent. His tour Aren’t We Ever Gonna Be More Than Friends? named after his third LP which was released this summer has been packing venues across the US. He comments about the tour “There’s nothing more genuine to me than being on stage performing my own songs that somehow became popular enough to wrangle up a crowd, but I can’t really fathom the thought of headlining an entire North America tour… But here I am announcing an entire North America tour… So put your cowboy boots & bell bottoms on & get ready to get rowdy, cause I can’t help but ask – Aren’t We Ever Gonna Be More Than Friends?” One thing is certain you can’t deny his genuine love for performing and he gives everything he’s got to the crowd and they happily reciprocate with cheers, dancing and singing along.  The energy reverberates through the audience and quickly gains momentum with each and every song.

Vampires Everywhere release new song, Black Betty

December 18, 2015

  Los Angeles rockers VAMPIRES EVERYWHERE have released their brand new single, “Black Betty.”  The song will be featured on their forthcoming full-length album, ‘Ritual’ due out in early 2016.  Vocalist Michael Vampire explains, “This song is special to me because it represents a part of my life where someone I cared about betrayed my trust. I learned a lot from that situation in particular and thought it to be song worthy.  The human desire for fame and recognition spark some of our most primitive actions.” Check out the  new song here: The new album, ‘Ritual’ was produced by Matt Good [From First To Last, DRUGS], mixed by David Bendeth [Bring Me The Horizon, Paramore], and will serve as the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Hellbound and Heartless.’ In case you missed the album teaser, check it out here: Make sure to visit their social media sites so you can stay up to date on all the latest news. ~ Enjoy, Marisol Information & Links: Website: www.facebook.com/VampiresEverywhere Facebook:  www.facebook.com/VampiresEverywhere Twitter: https://twitter.com/Vamp_Everywhere Youtube: www.youtube.com/VampiresEverywhereTV
