Interview with Apocalyptica as they are out on tour!

April 13, 2015

We recently brought you our Concert Review of SIXX: A.M., Apocalyptica and Vamps as they delivered a night of amazing music in San Francisco. You can check out our review here. Apocalyptica took to the stage and delivered a mind-blowing set of their instrumental, rock/metal music featuring cellos. You can’t help but watch them in amazement as they bring a whole new level to classical music by taking it up to 11 and bringing out the metal. I was excited to catch their new vocalist, Franky Perez. He has such powerful vocals that were the perfect fit to the big sound of Apocalyptica. They also performed some of their new songs and completely blew everyone away with their new hit, Shadowmaker! We had the chance to chat with with Eicca and Paavo shortly before their set and you can check it out here: Check out the incredible photos from our Rockin Ryan of their San Francisco set: Make sure to check the upcoming show dates and get yourself to a show. You will truly be impressed [Read More]

The Glorious Sons brightens your day with their new video for Lightning

April 10, 2015

One of my favorite concerts of this year was when The Glorious Sons came to San Francisco and performed at the DNA Lounge. They are a hard working band from Ontario, Canada and truly blew us away from first listen.  They put on an incredible set that had me grinning from ear to ear as I watched a band for the first time and knew that it will definitely not be my last. They have just released a music video for their song, Lightning which is off their album, The Union. Check it out here: I love that song. There is such emotion that these bring to their music and you can’t help but hear the passion they have.

Check out our interview with them here: We featured The Glorious Sons as one of our Bands of The Day because their infectious rock sound and they have a great energetic [Read More]

Marmozets and Wild Throne take over San Francisco with energy fueled sets!

April 2, 2015

  Last night we headed up to San Francisco to check out an awesome lineup at Slim’s in San Francisco. Being that it was April Fools Day, one thing is certain, if you were in SF and missed the show, you were a FOOL! The night started off with an electrifying set by Wild Throne. This is one three piece band that has a powerful sound and the adrenaline of the Energizer Bunny. They were incredible and even with some minor technical difficulties, they steamrolled through and gave 150% during their set. Make sure to catch them when they roll through your town! Check out some photos from Rockin Ryan of their set: Marmozets came out next and they continued to raise the energy in the room even more, if that was possible!  It is so great to watch them perform because not only are they fueled by the crowd’s energy, but they are truly look like they are doing exactly what they love!
