Concert Review: Tom Keifer, Backstage Halle, Munich, October 15th, 2015 by Alex Bock

October 17, 2015

  Last night Munich was in for a special treat. Tom Keifer, best known as the Cinderella frontman, stopped by to take us all back down memory lane. The Backstage Halle was fully packed, when the show started at 8.30 pm, about 30 minutes later than announced. There was no opening act, which is kinda unusual, but it’s also not that often that acts ‘with a long history in the Rock n’ Roll business’ still draw that many people. Keifer started the show with ‘Fallin’ Apart At The Seams’, the opening track of Cinderella’s second studio album ‘Long Cold Winter’. The set contained some of the songs from his first solo-record ‘The Way Life Goes’ which was released about 2 ½ years ago, like ‘It’s not enough’, ‘Different Light’ and ‘The Flower Song’. The second big part on the set-list were Cinderella songs. Everyone that was there for those wasn’t gonna be disappointed, because he played all the great tracks that were hit singles for the band like ‘Shake Me’, ‘Nobody’s Fool’, ‘Coming Home’ and [Read More]

Phil Vassar’s touching song, She’s On Her Way features fans in new video

October 13, 2015

Phil Vassar is no stranger at writing songs that touch your heart and soul. A fan favorite is his beautiful song, She’s On Her Way. Phil comments on the song, “I’ve always loved the song ‘She’s On Her Way. Me and my co-writers Kim Nichols, and Jeff Outlaw were hanging out one day talking about our kids. The more we talked and I thought about my own 2 daughters, Haley and Presley, we really got inspired. But, I have to admit, it was the most emotional I have ever been writing a song. I was all torn up before, during, and after. Even today when I hear the song, it still touches a chord in me. Over the years, fans would tell us how much the song meant to them and how they used it at their wedding. So, we thought we would say thanks to them and do a fan driven video.” Check out the video which features many fans and their special moments. The sentimental song truly touched me and had me in tears [Read More]

Thadeus Gonzalez releases new video for emotionally driven track, Change The Locks

October 13, 2015

Thadeus Gonzalez truly captures your attention with his new video for his emotionally driven track, Change The Locks. There is such a depth of vulnerability in this song that touches your soul and awakens your heart. I love this track and the vocals of Thadeus carries a weight of emotion that really grabs you and delivers a sense of clarity. Gonzalez wrote the song about taking responsibility for your actions; by “changing your locks” to keep the worst of the way you behave out while only letting the best of you in, and the struggle that that entails. “When that much emotion is felt in a song, it’s difficult to find images that benefit the music. For “Change the Locks,” my old family footage really gave the music a nice lift,” said Gonzalez. Check out the video here: The video was produced by Scott Reategui Richards and Gonzalez, and shot in San Francisco.  The track was produced by Dennis Hill (Hagar/Satriani, Lit, Good Charlotte) and recorded/mixed by Kyle Homme (Matt Costa, Sugarcult, Reel Big Fish).  Hill [Read More]

Last Friday night at the Ace of Spades was definitely the place to be! Tom Keifer was making a stop on his The Way Life Goes solo tour to Sacramento and we definitely were not going to miss it.
