Fozzy takes over the DNA Lounge in San Francisco

October 7, 2013

Heavy Metal Rockers, FOZZY have been touring with legendary Saxon and last night they had a stop here in San Francisco at the DNA Lounge. This was the first time that FOZZY has made a San Francisco appearance and they truly showed us what we have been missing! They put on an incredible show. These five guys just have adrenaline running through their veins from the moment they step out on to that stage and give us 150% of what they got. We were excited to see them play, since back in August, we had the opportunity to talk with Chris Jericho about the Sacrifice and Sin tour. You can read the entire interview below or check it out here. We got there just in time to catch Halcyon Way as they got the crowd warmed up and ready to ROCK. We will tell you more about them under a separate post. Then FOZZY started their set with my favorite song, “Spider in My Mouth” and that is the perfect song to get the crowd pumped. [Read More]

September 18, 2013

Last week we told you about our Aftershock Spotlight on an incredible band, Nothing More. You can read that original post here. Well Nothing More from San Antonio, Texas and New Orleans, LA definitely stole the show at the Aftershock Festival. On Saturday they played the Ernie Ball stage and had everyone taking notice of this high energy alternative rock/metal band. We were so glad to catch their set and even more excited when we learned that on Sunday they would be playing the main stage since a couple bands could not make it to the show. What an incredible opportunity for them and they truly did a SPECTACULAR job. We had already been talking with fans about their performance on Saturday and then Sunday, they were the talk of the day! We had people asking us about them and telling us to get more info on the band. We have already been in love with them since the first moment of listening to them not long ago.
