December 12, 2016

Very, very exciting news to share! The Crazy World of Arthur Brown have announced dates for the first US Tour in nearly 5 decades! Check out the news below: After a highlight performance at Psycho Las Vegas 2016, hugely influential UK heavy psychedelic progressive eccentrics THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN announces their 2017 Zim Zam Zim tour marking their first run of live performances since 1969.   The God Of Hellfire himself, Arthur Brown, will be celebrating fifty years since releasing the debut single “Devil’s Grip,” which helped shape the British and worldwide psychedelic movement. Pushing theatrics to their dystopian hellscape limits would earn Brown acolytes in everyone from David Bowie and Alice Cooper to Kiss, Marilyn Manson, and Lady Gaga to the entire genre of black metal, and his influence continues to spread today.

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]

  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]
