TOKIO HOTEL bring stellar arena performance to clubs for a must see experience!

July 28, 2015

If you could only imagine the production that goes into an arena or stadium performance; the lights, stage, set design, wardrobe changes. It is an amazing amount of work and one thing you seem to miss from an arena show is the close energy and party vibes that you get from a more intimate setting or club venue. Well, Tokio Hotel have managed to bring the best of both worlds together out on their Feel It All World Tour. They have just kicked off Part 2 The Club Experience North America Tour with a stellar performance at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. We had the opportunity to chat with the band before their first show and are pleased to bring you that interview here: It has been 7 long years since they have played in SF and their return was welcomed by long time fans and tons of new ones.

We recently brought you our coverage of the Massive Addictive Tour, as it made a stop at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. The tour featured Amaranthe, I Prevail and Santa Cruz. Check out our full coverage of the night here: Massive Addictive Tour in SF. The tour was a great success and one of our highlights was getting to see rockers Santa Cruz take the stage.

Whether you hear comments about the rock scene dying or there not being any good rock bands out there, Santa Cruz is here to prove them wrong! These guys have consistently been in the forefront of rock and roll overseas, and it is now time for the spotlight to shine on them here in America.

Franki Love premieres her new beautiful touching song, Lullaby.

May 5, 2015

We recently featured Singer/songwriter Franki Love and her amazing song Walking Wounded. Today we would like to premiere another incredible song from Franki called Lullaby.  As I have said before, Franki so easily captures emotion when she performs and is like a touch of angelic bliss. In this song, the raw honesty pours out in a flood of warmth and delivers a much needed pause to reflect and appreciate love. Truly amazing and quite an inspiration.  Franki comments about the inspiration behind Lullaby, “The inspiration of the song is eternal love. It’s about love that lasts for infinity and is the most unconditional love you could ever imagine having with another human being. “ Check out the song here: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/202817127″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]   You can truly feel the emotion in this song and we asked Franki about the emotion when she is recording and she explains, “Recording ‘Lullaby’ was an interesting and eye opening experience.  I created a demo to send to the producer I was working with and recorded the vocal [Read More]

Stone Temple Pilots kick ass at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco

April 11, 2015

The legendary Fillmore in San Francisco was treated to an incredible set by Stone Temple Pilots. The sold out show included an opening set by one of our fave bands, Spiralarms. They always get the crowd riled up and win over new fans with each set. I would strong suggest you check them out the next time they are playing. After, the Dreamers from Brooklyn, NY came out and continued to raise the energy of the venue. This trio definitely delivers a powerful sound. I am excited to check out more of their music! The venue was filled as everyone made their way into the main room to catch the very best spot for Stone Temple Pilots. When they started, the adrenaline raced through the audience and by the end of the first song, everyone was singing along. It was amazing to hear the crowd participation in almost every song they played.  Chester was awesome and is a very engaging frontman, as you may know from his incredible work with Linkin Park. Chester breathes fresh [Read More]
