The amazingly talented Quinn Archer is set to bring her Rock n Soul to the legendary Whisky a Go-Go next Monday, September 8th, 2014. Quinn’s vocals carry so much emotion and depth, she will feed your soul with her smoldering style.

Panic! at the Disco bring their spectacular stage show to SJSU on The Gospel Tour

August 30, 2014

Thursday night be tackled the dense notorious Bay Area traffic to make it down just in time for The Gospel Tour concert at San Jose State University. Panic! at the Disco headlining tour featuring support by Walk the Moon and Youngblood Hawke was one we were not going to miss. Panic! at the Disco had an amazing stage set up with probably one of the best light shows I have seen in a long time. It is great to see a band that places an importance on the set, lights, backing led screen. The members were strategically spread out across the stage and yet they didn’t feel isolated or separated. Vocalist, Brendon Urie, whom earlier this year won for Best Vocalist at the APMA awards proved once again that he is well deserving of the award. His powerful vocals, charming swagger and personality just shine through each song. He has great stage presence and intense energy that lit up the stadium. The guitarists would sprint across the stage and make sure that they would treat [Read More]

Amy explains, “It’s very different for me, it’s electronic. I did it all myself, which was crazy, because I’m used to engineering and writing and mixing demos in my house, but being responsible for that being the end product was a new challenge for me, It was like ‘This is it, I’m mixing this.’” Amy makes her film score debut with Aftermath Check out her song Push The Button here: We may be hearing a lot more from Amy as she is set on showing different sides of herself through her music.
