October 18, 2016

  Sunday night was a fierce one filled with high energy sets at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco!  It kicked off with a great set by Kyng that got the crowd ready.

Joey was a ball of fire as he brought it all together with his hard hitting drums. You could feel and breathe in the passion that these three have when they play, and it was purely magical.
