Tori Vasquez and her amazing performance at the Fillmore

October 10, 2013

Last night we covered the Blue October SWAY tour show in San Francisco at the historic Fillmore. We were treated to an amazing performance by Tori Vasquez. We got to see Tori as she opened for Justin on his Open Book tour earlier this year. At that time, she did an acoustic performance and that was wonderful. Well, last night we had the honor of seeing Tori play with her band and it was spectacular. Her band definitely give out great energy. When Tori first steps out on stage, she reminded me of a young Linda Ronstadt and when she performs she brings out the Pat Benatar rockstar in her. She has quite a magnetic stage presence and along with her alluring voice, you can’t help but be drawn to her. Check out the Rockin Ryan’s slide show of photographs from her set: Check out this amazing tribute video Rockin Ryan made for Tori with her song, Free Upon a Dream: Tori has been working on releasing her first full length album and we [Read More]

October 7, 2013

Heavy Metal Rockers, FOZZY have been touring with legendary Saxon and last night they had a stop here in San Francisco at the DNA Lounge. This was the first time that FOZZY has made a San Francisco appearance and they truly showed us what we have been missing! They put on an incredible show. These five guys just have adrenaline running through their veins from the moment they step out on to that stage and give us 150% of what they got. We were excited to see them play, since back in August, we had the opportunity to talk with Chris Jericho about the Sacrifice and Sin tour. You can read the entire interview below or check it out here. We got there just in time to catch Halcyon Way as they got the crowd warmed up and ready to ROCK. We will tell you more about them under a separate post. Then FOZZY started their set with my favorite song, “Spider in My Mouth” and that is the perfect song to get the crowd pumped. [Read More]

Counting down to the Smile Empty Soul release of Chemicals!

September 27, 2013

Three of the most amazingly talented musicians are set to release their new album, Chemicals on October 1st. I am talking about none other than Smile Empty Soul. These guys have been around delivering incredible music with some of the best lyrics in the industry since 1998. Every time a new album comes out, I hold my breath in anticipation since so many bands after years seem to set off and re-invent themselves and come out someone else. Other bands just put a replica of their last album wrapped in new chorus. Smile Empty Soul stays true to their sound and delivers original songs that just have me applauding at every song! Well, I have heard a peak of this new album and guess what, you are so in for an UNBELIEVABLE Smile Empty Soul album!!!
