April 21, 2014

2013 was a KICK ASS year for UK rockers, Heaven’s Basement and 2014 is proving to be another spectacular year for them as they are in high demand.  They recently returned to the UK for their “Welcome Home” Headlining tour and had to cancel several dates on the tour due to mandated vocal rest for vocalist Aaron Buchanan. They are set to return back to the US for this year’s Rock on The Range and Rocklahom festivals and more. In other Heaven’s Basement news, the band has been nominated for the Revolver Golden God award for Best New Talent and guitarist Sid Glover is up for the Metal Hammer“Dimebag Darrell Shredder” Golden God award. Revolver‘s ceremony takes place April 23, while Metal Hammer‘s awards are June 16. We won’t be surprised when they take home the honors, we have always known that there is no stopping this incredible band. We featured Sid Glover on our 12 Days of Guitarists this past year. You can read more here. Also we even had our little rocker Brandon put out a special video for them [Read More]

Don’t miss Nothing More out on tour NOW!

April 3, 2014

  We were excited to catch Nothing More as they played at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento last week. They were finishing up the tour with Eve To Adam, Kyng and Lacuna Coil. They once again put on an incredible high energy show! Just last year, they stole the show at Aftershock Festival and were the only band to play two sets during the festival. The first day they played the Ernie Ball stage and the second day they were moved to the Main Monster Stage. It was awesome, you can check out our post on it here. They came in to the Ace of Spades and dominated the crowd as they brought their incredible four piece percussion performance as well as a three man bass guitar solo!!! They have incredible stage presence and put on a show you don’t want to miss. They wrapped up the tour with Lacuna Coil and set right out on another tour, this time with Chevelle as well as other dates. Make sure to check the dates below and [Read More]

Day 2 of Guitarists goes to Sid Glover of Heaven’s Basement

December 15, 2013

Today is Day 2 of our Guitarists and we are proud to bring you Sid Glover of Heaven’s Basement. Sid is a madman on his Gibson.  We saw Sid a couple times this year and he just doesn’t disappoint.  Heaven’s Basement quickly rose to fame in the States this year and we couldn’t wait to see Sid play live at Aftershock Festival in September. It was our first time seeing them and it was awesome to see them play the big Monster stage.  Read more about their Aftershock performance here. In October we had the opportunity to see Heavens Basement play a smaller venue  in San Francisco when they opened up for The Pretty Reckless. It was a packed house at Slim’s and it was a stellar evening that included Louna from Russia and the whole night was amazing! Here is a video interview we did with Sid and Aaron from Heaven’s Basement when they played in San Francisco.   Heaven’s Basement truly has an incredible electrifying stage presence. These four guys give a 150% [Read More]
