The Mummfest Tour put together three bands across three genres… I wasn’t sure how it was going to work, yet it managed to make sense in the end! The first band onstage at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit stop was Platinum Moon. This group of five is young, but definitely have old souls with overt […]

The House of Blues Anaheim was revived with the 2000s emo scene as The Used brought their 25th Anniversary Tour for three nights, celebrating their albums that helped shape the entire scene.

Santa Ana’s Observatory Festival Grounds was fired up as The Story So Far wrapped up their fall tour, bringing along a stacked lineup featuring Pain of Truth, Origami Angel, and Neck Deep.

My final concert at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater this summer turned out to be one of the best shows of the season. It was a hot night, featuring an unexpectedly cohesive lineup of Apocalyptica, Lindsey Stirling, and Halestorm. Starting first was the Finnish cello metal group, Apocalyptica, who set a bizarrely powerful tone for the […]
Bill f*ckin Murray. Who doesn’t love this man?? The guy is a comic icon, the epitome of acting success, a golfer, a writer… and he leads a band? This I had to see. And, apparently, so did the rest of San Diego. Performing at The Sound in Del Mar (like literally within the Del Mar […]
On a warm Orange County night, The Observatory in Santa Ana turned into a listening party of soul and lowrider oldies.

At least, that’s what the fictional-turned-real-but-still-very-fictional band Spinal Tap says in the long-awaited sequel to the mockumentary that changed cinematic history back in 1984, This Is Spinal Tap. Now 41 years later, you’d think that bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (played by Michael McKean, Christopher […]
The night of Pantera in St. Louis started off with Aussie grindcore sensations King Parrot. Named after the similarly Australian bird, King Parrot were a colorful bunch. They opened the night with an aggressive, screaming, hair-flipping set that left the already sweaty crowd drenched by the end of it. Lead vocalist Matt Young — shirtless […]
Sunday the 21st of September was definitely a night to be remembered for those who attended The Who’s show at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.
