Kublai Khan, Drain, Gideon and Guilt Trip deliver explosive night at San Jose Civic

October 25, 2025

  Kublai Khan is about to finish up their headlining U.S. tour, and they left an explosive, high-energy mark at the San Jose Civic last night. The place was shaking from the first note to the final roar of the crowd. Guilt Trip from Manchester kicked things off, coming out with all the intensity and force the crowd needed to start the night off heavy. They lit the fuse for what was about to become a wild ride. Shortly after, Gideon took the stage, and within minutes the crowd turned into a sea of crowd surfers. Everywhere you looked, people were flying over the barricade. It was amazing. Then came one of the highlights of the night… Drain. Our West Coast locals straight out of Santa Cruz brought a stadium-worthy performance to the Civic. Their set was adrenaline-fueled, fun, captivating, and pure chaos in the best way possible. Their sign says it perfectly: “Drain is not responsible for what you do in the next 30 minutes.” So true, because anything you’ve been holding inside gets [Read More]

Knocked Loose brought an intense, hardcore set to the San Jose Civic on a Sunday night. The night kicked off with sets from Militarie Gun, Drain, and Danny Brown. The crowd was warmed up and ready to go as the anticipation grew before Knocked Loose took the stage. As the curtain dropped, the crowd went wild as they kicked off the night with their first track, “Thirst.” From the minute they hit the stage to the end, it was complete and utter hardcore bliss for the fans. From massive circle pits to an intense wall of death and endless crowd surfers, the fans went wild with each and every song. They treated the crowd to old songs as well as some killer new tracks off their latest album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To.

November 17, 2014

Sunday nights have really become the best night for great concerts and last night was definitely one of the finest nights in music. Northern California was treated to a double dose of heavy metal with legendary Judas Priest and the fun Steel Panther. We arrived at the City National Civic early to find a great line of dedicated fans waiting for the show. I was really excited to see that Steel Panther was opening for Judas Priest on this tour. We have had the great pleasure of seeing them over half a dozen times and they still hold top honors for the funnest concert ever attended. Before the show we were able to interview Michael Starr and Lexxi Foxx and we will be bringing that hilarious interview to you later this week. Steel Panther put on an awesome set that fired up the crowd and insured that everyone was having a great time.

Morrissey concert cut short due to being tackled by excited fans

May 8, 2014

Morrissey. What can I say about this man, with his incredible voice that became my safe haven in the those crazy angst filled teen years of my past. His voice has been the soundtrack of my life and the songs they sing have taken me through the best and the worst times of my life. I have Morrissey to thank for the wonderful gift of their music.  That is such a shared sentiment by so many fans. You want to talk to him, touch him, hug him, thank him and that is exactly what many fans did and attempted to do last night. The 54 year old singer was tackled by several fans during the encore performance at the City National Civic in San Jose, Ca last night. Several of the first few fans made it to the stage and you can see just wanted to touch him and Morrissey so kindly obliged them all, even reaching out to those that were being taken away by security.  It continued on through the song, One Day, [Read More]
