NEW POLITICS announce their headlining tour “Harlem, USA Tour”

October 29, 2013

Just announced….. Our friends in one of our favorite bands, New Politics which we had the the opportunity to interview on the Uproar tour, have just announced their headlining tour for USA. These guys have been so busy and just keep going. From the first time I saw them in 2010 I called them the Energizer Bunny Meets Nirvana and here they are… like the energizer bunny… they keep going and going and going! They have had quite a year touring on the Uproar Festival, then they set out on Tour in support of Pink and then 30 Seconds to Mars. They are just on fire and this is truly a great year for them. But be prepared, they are starting 2014 off with their own headlining tour across the U.S.A. with special guests Magic Man and Sleeper Agent. You can watch their fun video announcement here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjvdMhxVD1Y&feature=youtu.be] I know always tell you to make sure to get out to shows, but SERIOUSLY this is one show you WANT to BE AT!

Volbeat photo and video highlights from Aftershock

October 28, 2013

Aftershock Festival was amazing with over 30+ bands in the two days and over 35,000 attendees. Many of those fans were there to see the amazing show that Volbeat put on. I have seen Volbeat five times but this was the first time that I got to see Rob Caggiano play with them. It was an awesome set and they sounded so spot on! They played my favorites Fallen, A Warrior’s Call and my new favorite, Lola Montez. I just love that song soooo much. Check out the video that Rockin Ryan made of “A Warrior’s Call” set to footage and photos from their Aftershock set. One thing is for sure, when Volbeat performs, you really feel the energy from the crowd as well as the band. They create such an intensity that you just can’t help but be drawn to them. It was great to see people who had never seen them before, enjoy the show and called it one of their Festival highlights! Make sure you have your copy of “Outlaw Gentlemen and [Read More]

Louna is cancelled from MTV Documentary Series, “Rebel Music”

October 28, 2013

We have some news to report relating to one of our recent Tuesdays Travels pick, Louna. Also, I must tell you I carry my Louna CD from car to car wherever I go. It is one of my favorite CDs and we have all been rocking out to it since we saw them earlier this month in San Francisco as they played with Heaven’s Basement and The Pretty Reckless. Louna is such an amazing band of talented musicians who not only produce excellent rock n roll and recently were going to be part of the MTV Documentary Series, “Rebel Music”. They were going to have a worldwide platform to share their music and what they stand for. One thing is for sure, this band is so deserving of the feature and they are incredibly talented and deserve to be heard but unfortunately, that will not be so. It was reported today that Louna’s Inclusion in Forthcoming MTV Documentary Series “Rebel Music” Cancelled by Viacom Due to International Pressure from Russia. We wanted to share with you [Read More]

HALESTORM Photos from Aftershock Festival

October 26, 2013

We are still working on all of Aftershock coverage from last month!! Can you believe it? Well there were soooo many bands and a lot to cover. One of those bands was Halestorm, who is a long time favorite of ours. We have seen them probably about a half dozen times and they never disappoint! I describe Halestorm as my ear porn, it is too good to be true and you almost feel guilty for listening! At Aftershock, they were inredible, always delivering high energy and have such fierce stage presence! You can check out the photos from their set in this tribute video from Rockin Ryan. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGyZh6m0Tko&feature=youtu.be] They are currently touring overseas and we can’t wait to catch them when they come around again. Make sure to check out their social media sites and pick up their latest release, “ReAniMate 2.0 The Covers EP. ~Marisol Information & Links: Halestorm Facebook: www.facebook.com/halestormrocks Halestorm Website: www.halestormrocks.com Halestorm Twitter: www.twitter.com/halestorm
