Fire The Animal delivers a great set at the Troubadour for the Lara Gladstsone Gutter n Grind!

March 6, 2014

We had the opportunity to catch Los Angeles band, Fire The Animal as they performed at Lara Gladstone’s Gutter n Grind event at the Troubadour. I love catching shows at the Troubadour because the musical history of the venue’s past seems to create an energy that you can’t ignore. Fire The Animal added to that energy with their charismatic set filled with an updated twist of classic rock. It was an awesome night as you can see by the footage and photos of Fire The Animal in the following tribute video made by Rockin Ryan. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bytZ5MX4JjE&feature=youtu.be] The song in the video is “Do Me Like You Do” and it is one of my personal faves. The song is off of their EP, Quadrihead and you can pick it up here. While you are at it, make sure to pick up some of their cool band merchandise from their page here.

You’re Insane if you missed Escape the Fate at their Sacramento show

March 5, 2014

We were able to catch Escape The Fate twice in one week last month. First we caught them performing to a sold out crowd at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco for the Bury the Hatchet Tour with Falling in Reverse, Chelsea Grin and Survive This! We then caught them at a packed house at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento for a show with Eve to Adam, New Years Day and Track Fighter. It was great to see Escape the Fate headlining the show at the Ace of Spades. It was packed with a crowd of all ages as everyone song along and the energy was magnetic. Of course the highlight for us was to see the return of Max “The Ripper” Green as he pounded out slamming bass lines and moved around the stage like a fierce animal. He truly did own that stage that night and we were all under his spell. You can check out the following tribute videos by Rockin Ryan that feature photos as well as footage from their [Read More]
