It’s so not every day that you get to go to a concert where you can bang your head, scream, mosh… and also worship Jesus. Tonight was one of those nights and, honestly, I desperately needed it. I went to Detroit for Demon Hunter — a band long loved within the Christian rock arena. But […]
If I am being honest, I had pretty low expectations this past Tuesday for Tech N9ne’s show at Marathon Music Works in Nashville, TN. It wasn’t that I thought the music would be bad; I certainly know Tech N9ne is amazing. I think it was more a combination of life burnout and the fact that […]
I’ve always held firm to the belief that if a band moves you, truly moves you, you owe it to yourself to see them more than once. Some artists just need to be witnessed repeatedly; each performance peels back a layer of something you didn’t know you needed. I feel like bands like Phish, The […]
On Sunday, midwestern sad rock loyalists came out in droves to the sold-out Val Air Ballroom in West Des Moines, Iowa for DAYSEEKER’s The Pale Moonlight Tour. Supported by Northlane, Wind Walkers, and sace6, the night was full of sick riffs and crying while dancing. Families dotted the crowd, proving there really is no better […]
There was no letup of aggression the entire night of The Spring Horizons Tour, when four bands came together in Royal Oak, Michigan. Now, when I think of ‘spring horizons’, I think of nice relaxing vibes… these bands were anything but. The first band onstage was Heavensgate; you would honestly think that you were at […]
I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t walk into Marathon Music Works on May 1st as an Ashnikko fan. I’d heard a couple of tracks floating around, enough to recognize the name, but I was there primarily as a photographer. I’d seen images of her online: the electric blue hair, the theatrical costuming, the almost […]
Some concerts are performances; others are spectacles. And then there’s Puscifer, a beautifully strange collision of theater, psychedelia, performance art, and razor-sharp musicianship that feels deeply unserious and profoundly intentional at the same time. At Red Rocks Amphitheatre, under towering red monoliths and a sold-out Colorado sky packed with more than 10,000 people, Puscifer built […]
There is something to be said about a Wednesday night, when you walk into a venue early and the energy is already abundant. Not building throughout the night; it’s there from the start. That was how it went down in St. Louis at the Old Rock House on April 29th, one of the final tour […]
Peace and serenity hit Santa Ana on Friday Night, as Ambar Lucid and Maye lit up the night at The Observatory. Arriving at the venue, the buzz and excited chatter could be heard from the restless crowd’ people were exchanging stories about Ambar Lucid and what her music meant to her. It was heartwarming to […]
Some moments deserve, no, demand the right soundtrack. 4/20 at The Factory in St. Louis had exactly that: southern blues rock, pouring out of a legendary jam band and two sisters who clearly didn’t come to play second fiddle to anybody. The crowd was already primed and ready, openhearted with the kind of energy that […]
I love the kind of crowd that shows up to a Clutch concert; you can feel the vibe they give off before even getting inside the venue. It’s a group of real rockers — people who share a deep love and respect for everything grunge and rock & roll. Those rockers came filtering through the […]
If there ever was a city to kick off a world tour right, it’s in San Diego; we’re laidback, we’re low-maintenance, and we simply love live music when it comes to town. Too many times San Diego gets passed over for large names, sitting in the southern shadows of Los Angeles. This wasn’t the case […]
There are nights of hip hop. Then there are nights of hip hop legends. Stacking three industry-changing names on a bill together is unprecedented — and a show you simply can’t miss. I knew this when I saw that Cypress Hill was bringing the High & Outside – Above the Zone Tour to San Diego’s […]
San Diego got hit with a dose of modern metalcore on April 12th, 2026, as the Silence Follows Tour rolled through town — a fitting name for a night that never actually allowed a moment of silence. Built as a true co-headlining between Currents and ERRA, the tour pulls its title from their latest releases: […]
Whenever Saxsquatch comes to town, you know you’re in for a wild night. There’s only one show where you can see a 7-foot-tall saxophone-wielding Bigfoot bring down the house with his mad deejay skills — all while wearing reflector sunglasses. In preparation for such an event, I got as furry as possible. Over-the-boot fuzzy blue […]
