May 13, 2016

Holy hell San Francisco, what a show last night! Chicago non-stop rockers The Last Vegas rolled into San Francisco and delivered a kick ass full on rock show at the Bottom of the Hill. The night kicked off with some killer thrash metal from San Francisco’s own Hazzard’s Cure. Next up was a fierce set by All Time Highs. We will bring you more coverage of both those bands in a later post. The Last Vegas returned to the West Coast and boy, did they give everyone what they were missing… Straight up, balls to the wall ROCK ‘N’ ROLL! They are currently out on a headlining West Coast tour in support of their recently released album, Eat Me. This being their sixth studio album, they definitely gave it their all. It brings to life the soul of rock ‘n’ roll. That is exactly what The Last Vegas brings to the stage, highly infectious rock at 150%. They crowd rocked, danced and grooved all night long and left us hoping that they come back real soon! [Read More]

Kevin Martin of Candlebox talks about their new album Disappearing In Airports

May 12, 2016

  The multi-platinum rockers Candlebox have been touring in support of their recently released album, Disappearing In Airports.  We were able to catch them when they made a stop in San Francisco at Slim’s. It was a packed house and the crowd was filled with long time fans as well as a slew of new ones.  They were amazing and their sound was timeless as many longtime fans found themselves back in the ’90s singing all of their favorites.  What was quite impressive was the warm reception that their new songs received. Many fans already knew all of the words of the new songs, and were rocking out.  Their album has been well received and it completely rocks. We had the chance to chat with Kevin Martin about the new album and the music scene today. We are pleased to bring that interview to you here: * * * * * * *  Music Junkie Press: Thank you for taking the time to talk with us here at Music Junkie Press. We have been very excited [Read More]

James Bay delivers a grand performance to a sold out Oakland crowd at the Fox Theater

April 25, 2016

  We were very excited to catch the most recent performance of James Bay at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA. The fans began lining up early afternoon as it was a sold out show, and it would be a packed house. The night kicked off with an impressive performance by Joseph. Joseph features three sisters from the Pacific Northwest, who delighted the crowd with their powerful vocals and melodic harmonies. The trio captivated the crowd and earned high praises from the audience. The crowd grew in anxiety as they awaited the arrival of James Bay. It was wonderful to see the diversity in the crowd. It was a mix of culture, age, gender and social backgrounds that came together to enjoy the music of James Bay. People came from all over for this show. We even met a young woman who flew all the way out from Indiana for the show. Marisol Baumann (yes, I was just as shocked that she was also named Marisol) said she had just flown in hours earlier in [Read More]

They played at Slim’s on Saturday night and it was a packed house!  They are touring in support of their highly anticipated album, Disappearing in Airports, which is set for an April 22nd release. The night kicked off with a great set by Peter RG as he got the crowd ready to rock and you will see a couple Candlebox members in Peter RG. Next up was the insanely energetic Lullwater. We caught them last year out on tour with Butcher Babies and Amaranthe and it was great to see them raise the roof off Slim’s. The crowd was filled to what must have been capacity as there was no room to move about as Candlebox hit the stage. Everyone wanted to be up front for their incredible set. They were amazing and their sound was timeless as many longtime fans found themselves back in the ’90s singing all of their favorites.  What was quite impressive [Read More]

Concert Review Neck Deep with WSTR and Creeper at the Strom

April 17, 2016

Munich, April 11th, 2016 It was an all English evening last Monday. When we got to the venue about 30 minutes before doors there weren’t that many people already waiting outside, so we were curious how many would show up that night. Turned out, the club was pretty packed…. WSTR were the first to hit the stage. Their set was very well received. The Liverpool based band released their EP last year September. Check it out. If you like Neck Deep, you’ll like them too. Second opener were Creeper. They just recently released an EP ‚The Stranger‘ not that long ago. They definitely brought along some fans to that show. There were quite a few people already singing along to their songs. It’s been their first time in Germany, but I’m sure it won’t be their last. Neck Deep, the headliner of the night, really tore the place apart. Or should I say their fans did? From the first tunes to the last note the crowd jumped, staged dived and sang along to each and [Read More]
