Steel Panther returned to Boston, bringing their extreme version of 80’s glam metal back to the House of Blues. Their show is always entertaining, bringing both heavy metal and comedy the stage. Between songs, like their classics “Asian Hooker” and “Gloryhole,” they are always talking with the crowd, making jokes, inviting girls on stage, and finding ways to keep the […]

Less than two weeks ago, we saw Sully Erna’s well-known heavy side, as Godsmack performed at the Vet’s Rock Concert. Now, we see his solo project, with an acoustic show on his “Hometown Life” tour, fittingly, in his hometown of Boston. The set was mostly filled of material off his two solo albums, 2010’s Avalon, and the recently released Hometown […]

I am always hesitant when it comes to bringing my child to any theatre performance. He is very much the modern, spoiled, needs video games, 9 year old boy. When we arrived at The Vets for Disney Live! today, we were surrounded by younger children, in princess dresses and pacifiers. I thought, oh no. What have I done? I […]

Tribute bands are not an uncommon thing for our website to cover, but I am use to a tribute band playing the music of a specific musician or group. The Idol Kings, are more than just that. This band travels from venue to venue, playing tribute to Journey, Tom Petty and John Mellencamp. They morph into each roll with […]

I have reviewed them before, and I will again, because they are AMAZING. I have heard people say they don’t like cover bands, why listen to one when you can have the real thing. I was one of those people! Then I found out Nirvana didn’t write “Man Who Sold The World”, David Bowie did. Paul Mccartney and Wings released […]

We The Kings It took so long to get through the entrance that we missed most of We The Kings. They are an American Rock band from Bradenton, FL, and no stranger to the Vans Warped Tour. They played in both 2013, and 2014, which also explains why the crowd was so massive! We made it near the stage […]

The Interrupters This Los Angeles based ska-punk band were your typical irish band, but with a frontwoman. Aimee Interrupter gave the band a certain edge that set them apart. Her dressed to impress bandmates include guitarist Kevin Bivona, bassist Justin Bivona, and drummer Jesse Bivona. They were engaging and fun. We were really impressed with the material off their latest release, Say […]

The Word Alive is another band that I had never heard of, but I was in the right place at the right time. When the band came out, one guy had on a Chicago Bulls jersey and hospital mask. Another looked like a laid back surfer with Hawaiian bucket hat, and then there was the average rock n’ roll guitarist […]

My love affair with Gun’s N’ Roses stems back to 8th grade. There was a cute boy in my grade who thought they were the best band ever, so I decided I would like them too. He made me a mix-tape of his favorite GNR songs; “Civil War” and “Yesterday,” among many more. There also a note attached letting me […]

My confusion and lack of a map lead me to the Monster Energy North Stage. Motionless In White was up next. I was familiar with the name and I was pretty sure they wore some sort of costumes that might be fun to shoot. I wasn’t too far off. Motionless In White is a gothic metal/metal core band. They started […]

I stumbled upon this next band. I didn’t feel like fighting the crowds, so I waited by the Monster Energy South stage for whatever band was starting in 15 minutes. I watched Ice Kills Nine finish their set on the Monster Energy North stage, and as soon as they were done, a tattooed rockstar ran on stage. He was waving […]

When the chance to see Soul Asylum arose, I jumped at the opportunity. We know them best for their smash hit, “Runaway Train”. It reached number 5 on Billboard top […]
