Ice Nine Kills makes a stop in Sacramento for the Not Your American Idols Tour

October 23, 2014

Ice Nine Kills are currently out on the Not Your American Idols Tour and we are happy they made a stop in Sacramento earlier this week. One thing is for sure, they put on an incredibly fierce and energetic set every time they perform. This time was no different as they unleashed their energy onto the crowd at the Assembly Music Hall. It was also a hard night considering they had just learned about the passing of Tyson Stevens from Scary Kids Scaring Kids and they even dedicated a song. The crowd was intense as they had quite a stream of crowd surfers and determined moshers. Of course Spencer couldn’t hold back as he joined in the crowd surfing! Check out the photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set here: In case you missed it, make sure to watch their recently released acoustic video for Jonathan. The traditionally melodic heavy band show their emotional soft side as they truly deliver a moving and poignant video which features Jonathan, a handsome young man who suffers [Read More]

The Eeries continue to be an amazing crowd pleasing opener for Gerard Way’s tour

October 16, 2014

We recently told you about the awesome Gerard Way concert at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. You can read more about that here: Gerard Way at the Fillmore. What I really wanted to tell you more about, is the opening band on his tour, The Eeries. We had the chance to catch them perform at Aftershock Festival in Sacramento and I was glad to see them again. They were incredible and were definite crowd pleasers. Their impressive set was energetic from start to finish. The guitarist/vocalist, Isaiah was recovering from pneumonia but with the intensity and passion he brought to the stage, there was no evidence of being sick. He was spot on and had that crowd fired up for each song. Their sound reminded me of a blend of Nirvana and Beck.This is one band I strongly urge you to check out, they are well deserving of your attention! . Check out some killer photos by our Rockin Ryan of their set: The Eeries have definitely been one of the hottest bands of 2014 and [Read More]
