Escape the Fate delivered a fierce set at the Schecter NAMM AfterParty

February 3, 2015

We are all adjusting to our NAMMover, where we all wish we were back in Anaheim checking out all the amazing products and enjoying all the best concerts. One of the highlights from our NAMM trip was catching Escape the Fate perform at the Schecter NAMM AfterParty on Saturday night. It seemed to be the place to be as we saw so many familiar faces at the venue!  Earlier in the day, we caught up with Craig Mabbitt and Alex Torres for a quick chat. Check it out here: Later that night Escape the Fate hit the stage at The Grove in Anaheim and tore it up with a fierce set. It was a great show. Check out photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set: Need more to feed your addiction of Escape the Fate, can check out our coverage on their set last year at the Aftershock Festival where they blazed in the 109 degree heat and kicked ass! Check it out here.  I will leave you with several videos from the NAMM show:   [Read More]

Concert Review: Crown The Empire at Backstage Halle in Munich contributed by Alexandra

February 2, 2015

Concert Review Munich, Backstage, Halle, Febr. 1st, 2015 Alive Like Me / Dangerkids / Set It Off / Crown The Empire   Contributed by Alexandra We currently have tons of snow in Southern Germany, so it was more sliding than driving to the show, but I could make it on time anyway. I was even lucky to get a parking space in front of the venue, although the snow doesn’t make the parking situation any better. Luckily there was only that one concert yesterday. The Backstage itself consists of three clubs with different sizes. The Halle is size-wise the middle one. Not to get ahead of things, but it was a killer evening. All four bands fit perfectly as a line-up. There were no flaws, no boring breaks, not one song the audience wasn’t into. Absolutely nothing negative to say on my parts, except that it ended somewhat around 11pm…but all good things have to end, right…. Doors opened at approx. 6.30 pm. Show start was set for 7.00 pm. First on were Alive Like [Read More]
