The Vaccines had Oakland buzzing with their performance at the Fox Theater

March 25, 2024

The Vaccines wrapped up their US Tour with The Kooks with a final stop in Oakland at the Fox Theater and have everyone buzzing. The band delivered a super energetic set from the jump and the venue was packed. Photographer Eddie Grogg commented, “I had never seen/heard of The Vaccines much before this show and as  they came out in dress shirts, ties, jackets, and slacks. it didn’t feel like a show in oakland. It felt like a show in an underground British pub. The fun set made me want to go back and listen to each of their albums. They definitely need to come back to the US immediately, they have tons of fans here  every corner of the Fox Theater was filled with Vaccine fans. I was one of them by the end of it. Loved the flowers on the stage and I even had the chance to talk to someone who brought flowers to throw on stage” This might have been the last show of the tour but the energy they brought, [Read More]

February 29th was a special day. No, not that it is leap year!

Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: The crowd kept up on coming in and packed the house as Cherry Glazerr hit the stage. The intensity was infectious as the band gave 150% to their fans.  There was a mighty mosh pit in the front that couldn’t help themselves as the music was just so damn inviting!

Today our BottleRock Napa Featured Artist Royel Otis releases debut album

February 16, 2024

Today for our BottleRock Napa featured artist, we bring to you Royel Otis. This Australian guitar-pop duo from Sydney took us by storm last year when we first heard their track Sofa King. We loved their sound and were instantly hooked, impatiently waiting for them to come to the Bay Area.  We were so excited to see that they will be performing at BottleRock Napa 2024! Today, Royel Otis released their debut album Pratts & Pain. About the album, The album is named after our favourite pub in Streatham that we would go to when we were recording with Dan Carey. Dan would ask us to record vocals, and we’d say, ‘Just give us half an hour, we’re popping to Pratts & Payne’, and we’d have a pint, a few shots, and get some lyrics down. One of our favourites from the album is Foam, an ode to all those who need their mouths washed out with soap. It’s ok if you don’t understand some things just don’t look back in anger.
