We were in attendance to catch Bishop Briggs as they are out on tour with The Wind and the Wave and Kaleo. We first caught Bishop Briggs earlier this year at LIVE 105’s BFD Festival. We had been familiar with the hit song, River which we absolutely loved.  Once you see them perform live, your love for them expands beyond that hit. The Wind and The Wave started the night off and their set was a great introduction for us. We look forward to checking them out once again. The venue continued to grow to capacity as Bishop Briggs took the stage. From the moment they hit the stage, they had me captivated. Their set was engaging from start to finish and you were absolutely mesmerized by Bishop’s vocals. She carries such [Read More]

Interview with Eddie Veliz of Kyng as we discuss their new album, Breathe In The Water

October 30, 2016

Kyng returned to the Regency Ballroom this past Sunday night as they kicked off a night of high energy rock/metal in San Francisco. They are currently out on tour with Clutch and Zakk Sabbath and we were excited to catch them once again. This powerful trio delivers a powerful dose of energy when they hit the stage. You have Eddie Veliz on Vocals/Guitar, Pepe Clarke on Drums and Tony Castaneda on Bass/Backing Vocals. From start to finish, they are at 11 the entire time and they crank up the intensity with fierce riffs, thundering drums and melodic yet heavy vocals. Their energy is inescapable as they bring the truth and honesty back into rock, simple yet completely powerful. Check out some photos of their set by our Rockin Ryan: They have recently released their new album, Breathe In The Water, which I think is their best work to date.  So full of raw, honest, powerful hard and heavy rock and metal. It can’t be described as one genre, since they successfully bring out a variety of musical [Read More]
