November 16, 2013

Earlier this year we brought you an interview with one of the most influential bands of my life, DRAMARAMA. You can check ou that interview here. As I said in that post, “Music has been my passenger on my rollercoaster ride of my life, with me during my highs and there to comfort me during my lows. No matter what mood I was in, music was always there to share in the moment. So many times when someone mentions an artist or a band, I can go back and remember the first time I heard them or how I was introduced to their music. It is almost like when someone asks you about how you met an old friend or boyfriend. You always know the facts.” You can read about the first time I ever heard Dramarama. What is exciting is that Dramarama is set to play at one of The Whisky-a-Go-Go for their 50th Anniversary shows. They will be playing on Sunday, January 12th, 2014!

Popscene Presents brought an incredible show to the Rickshaw Stop last night, transforming a typical Monday into an unforgettable night of music. Kicking things off was dethcaps—a Bay Area trio dishing out some much-needed ‘bubblegrunge’. Their infectious set had the crowd moving and vibing, with a massive sound that belied their three-piece lineup.
