Skid Row stops in at the DNA Lounge for the United World Rebellion Tour

May 15, 2014

Last night was an awesome night of ROCK n ROLL. We went to the DNA Lounge in San Francisco and the kicked off with a solid set by The Devil in California, then local favorite State Line Empire, Black Star Riders (Thin Lizzy) and ended with the a headlining performance by Skid Row. Make sure to read about all our band features. Skid Row just began their US leg of the United World Rebellion Tour last week and last night it was San Francisco’s turn to be in the spotlight. It was a great crowd that had a range of ages from teens up to seniors. I love seeing the variety in the crowd as it always gives me the hope that rock and roll will never die. Skid Row is: Johnny Solinger (vocals) Scotti Hill (guitar) Rachel Bolan (bass) Snake Sabo (guitar) Rob Hammersmith (drums) They sounded great and Johnny killed it on vocals.  Scotti and Snake are madmen on their guitars as they each dominated their area and commanded the attention of the [Read More]

The Light Iris delivers essential metalcore to the DNA Lounge during set with Eyes Set to Kill

March 30, 2014

It was only a couple weeks ago that we were out at the DNA Lounge covering the Eyes Set to Kill show. The night was filled with some great music. You can check out our articles on Eyes Set To Kill and Cilver.  We were excited to be treated to a San Francisco band and they really delivered Metalcore/Post Hardcore at it’s finest.  It was the first time I saw them but definitely not the last. They are a young band from San Francisco formed back in 2009 and have a couple EPs out that should be required listening! Head over to Itunes and pick up Cities Built on Ruins of Regret  and The Damaged and The Saved.  These guys have a powerful stage presence and filled the room with their intense energy.  I really look forward to catching them again. Check out the videos from Rockin Ryan, one a tribute video featuring footage and photos from the set and one live footage.  When you watch them, you will get hooked and I hope you get a [Read More]

Cilver took over the DNA Lounge and prove they are a show NOT TO MISS!

March 29, 2014

We were able to catch Cilver as they were out on tour with the Revolver Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock Tour along with Lacuna Coil, Eyes Set to Kill and Sick Puppies. We were excited when we found out they were playing an off night with Eyes Set to Kill at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. First off, the DNA Lounge is a legendary nightclub where I spent most of the 90’s from what I can remember! Cilver performed in the upstairs stage and it was awesome. Being able to see Cilver up close and personal in that intimate setting was exactly what I needed. The energy from them was bouncing off the walls and reverberating through the crowd. They truly captivated the crowd and with their fierce intensity left us all wanting more!  Cilver is an American Rock band from New York and they have been rapidly rising on the charts and gaining a lot of attention with their amazing hit, In My Head which features Bumblefoot (Guns n Roses). Check out the song [Read More]

Throwback Thursday Music Feature is The Spent Poets

November 21, 2013

We all have our photos of us ready for Throwback Thursday filled with big hair, 80’s outfits, MC Hammer pants, flashdance shirts and so much more…. But what about the music? We need to have a Throwback Thursday Music Feature and here it is…. our first one. For my Throwback Thursday Music, is none other than The Spent Poets. I LOVED THIS BAND! I used to hang out at Paradise Lounge and DNA Lounge in San Francisco during the late ’80s and early ’90s and that is how I first found out about them. I think I first saw them when they were playing at the DNA Lounge and I picked up their self titled debut CD. Every single song became my fave. They had such a unique sound! I used to hear the story of how they started by Adam Gates and Matt Winegar making homemade tapes that eventually got in the hands of Matt Wallace who had produced Faith No More. Then they added John Berg on keyboards, Derek Greenberg on bass and [Read More]
