The crowd comes together for an energetic set by Divided Heaven at DNA Lounge

September 8, 2014

This past Friday, we made it out to the DNA Lounge for a great night of music which included everything from acoustic to punk rock. Check out our coverage of the acoustic set by Dead Frets here: Dead Frets. Next up, was Divided Heaven which is the music project of Jeff Berman. This tour, he has full band in tow and they delivered an incredible energetic set of indie punk. We had the opportunity to talk with Jeff before his set and will be bringing you that to you later this week. Jeff recently started his Youngblood Tour in support of his new album, Youngblood which was released earlier this year on Say 10 Records. One thing is for sure, it was an energetic set that captured the crowd’s attention and had everyone moving and singing along. His style of music can be described as indie or punk with a great emphasis on the punk. Jeff’s upbeat tempo and punk style created the perfect atmosphere for the DNA Lounge as I reminisced about the punk [Read More]

Dead Frets makes a stop in San Francsico at the DNA Lounge

September 8, 2014

Friday night was a busy one for DNA Lounge as downstairs they were performing the interactive spoof Terminator Too Judgement Play. As intrigued as I was about that, I went straight upstairs to the Above DNA stage, to catch an evening of fantastic music that included everything from acoustic, punk, indie, folk rock, and much more. We arrived early to catch Dead Frets start the night off. Dead Frets is the alter-ego musical work of Jared Stinson whom you might know from his work in his punk band, Sic Waiting. This past summer Dead Frets were out on the Drunks Go Acoustic Tour so it was nice to see him stop in to San Francisco. Jared brings to life his emotions through acoustic song and his great voice. He also performed one of his Sic Waiting songs and you could see hints of his punk persona peaking out. He is a story teller as well and I like the fact that he makes the audience feel as if you are sitting at your house and your [Read More]

Catch Hunter Valentine out on the Ladykillers Tour!

September 5, 2014

Like many others, I was first introduced to the music of Hunter Valentine through Linda Perry Project, Make Or Break on Vh1. From the first episode, I was enamored with their style and music. It was wonderful to watch them grown throughout the show and to hear their new song, Burn With It. They were definitely a band that I wanted to look further into and hopefully catch them live. When you watch them perform, they bring out such a raw yet electric energy that I have been craving. With the departure of Aimee during the show, Laura and Kiyomi are back and as fierce as ever. Their sexy power rock is ready to grab a hold of you and shake up your world. They are going to be setting out on the Ladykiller Tour with several dates announced so far. I am very much hoping that they will be adding more dates, preferably here on the West Coast. Yes, I being selfish, I just want to see Hunter Valentine and you should too! Check [Read More]
