Interview with Baz of NITERAIN, our last week Tuesdays Travel Pick!

November 12, 2013

Last week for our Tuesdays Travel pick of the week, we had introduced you to NiteRain. Here is an excerpt from that post: “This week, I have incredible ’80s inspired rock band from Oslo, Norway as our Tuesdays Travels Pick. They are NiteRain and they have an amazing sound. Their music reminds me of catching early Motley Crue out on the Sunset Strip in the ’80s. Early Vince Neil style vocals, Kick ass guitar riffs, slamming bass and energetic drums. Together you have the intense rock n roll of NiteRain.” NiteRain is Adrien Persen on Guitar, Sebastian Tvedtnaes on Vocals, Morten Garberg on Drums and Frank Karlsen on Bass. They have been known to have explosive stage presence and deliver high velocity sleaze rock. These guys are definitely in the running to take over the glam sleaze rock scene! They have had great success in touring with L.A. Guns across Europe and we hope they come out here to the US soon. Their glam infused rock is just as contagious as their fierce energy and is [Read More]

The Halo Method takeover the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood Nov. 7th!

November 1, 2013

The Halo Method is a rock band from Hollywood & Nashville and is definitely one you have to be on the look out for. They are rapidly gaining recognition and I am so glad to see it all happen. I first heard them a couple months back and put them on my list of bands to keep a close eye on. Well of course, things have been so busy that I haven’t taken the time to look at that list. Then, I heard their name again in an interview with Jonny Hetherington of Art of Dying and was so glad I did. Even in those short months, they have accomplished a lot. They have been busy working on their debut EP that will take the music world by storm. The Halo Method is Lukas Rossi (Rockstar Supernova), Ben Moody (Evanescence, We Are the Fallen), Dave Buckner (Papa Roach), and Josh Newell. Their music not only delivers a blend of hard rock, alternative, metal, goth and more, but their lyrics also tell incredible stories and take you on a journey through [Read More]

Falling in Reverse from Aftershock to their upcoming unplugged tour

October 24, 2013

This past June we ran a story about Falling in Reverse as they debuted their new album “Fashionably Late” by playing a free show at the Roxy. You can read that post here and how Falling in Reverse proved that their haters were their motivators! We then had the opportunity to catch Falling in Reverse perform at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento last month. They put on an amazing show that had everyone in the crowd enjoying them, even if they had never heard of them. You can check out a tribute video that Rockin Ryan put together which includes photos and footage of their performance here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDSWpN9sheM&feature=youtu.be] Next Tuesday, we will be catching Falling In Reverse as they play at Slim’s in San Francisco at the start of their “An Evening with Falling Reverse Tour” unplugged and uncensored. They are setting out a very special 14 show tour where each ticket includes: Meet & Greet with Falling in Reverse Signed Poster Photo Op w/Falling in Reverse Commemorative Tour Laminate Acoustic performance from Falling in [Read More]

HIM, another highlight from Aftershock Festival

October 24, 2013

The Aftershock Festival last month was filled with amazing artists and one of the bands that truly stood out was Finnish band, HIM. HIM has been consistently delivering their self titled brand of music, “Love Metal” since 1991. They have had a sound that has captured audiences of all ages and genres. What was great to see at the Aftershock Festival were the expanded audience that ranged young kids to seasoned rockers. I truly can’t wait for HIM to return for another show here in California. We had tickets to see them in Hollywood and San Francisco during their North American tour. Unfortunately they had to cancel the night of the Hollywood show due to Ville Valle’s severe asthma attack which led to pneumonia. We were actually staying at The Grafton on the Sunset Strip walking back from Soundcheck and we actually saw the ambulance that took Ville away. We are glad Ville is doing better and happy to see how strong they have come back and put on a hell of an amazing performance [Read More]
