Texas Hippie Coalition show them how it’s done at Rockstar Mayhem Fest

July 10, 2014

Last weekend we covered the Rockstar Mayhem Festival as it made it’s stop in the Bay Area at the Shoreline Amphitheater. It was a long wild day filled with awesome bands and one band that is grabbing everyone’s attention is the Texas Hippie Coalition. We featured them last month along with a band interview that you can check it out here. They performed to a packed crowd and it was awesome to see the great reception that this Red Dirt Metal received from everyone. They tore up the stage as they brought an ass whoopin to the crowd. They raised the heat as everyone was embracing their heavy metal classic rock sound. It was intense and I couldn’t wait to catch them again. They are one of those bands that right after you see them, you are on an immediate high and contemplating when and where you will get to see them next!! Check out the photos by our Rockin Ryan of their set here: Texas Hippie Coalition will be playing on the entire tour [Read More]
