Chevelle was absolutely magnificent at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland. Brothers, Pete (guitar/vocals), and Sam Loeffler (drums), with the exceptional addition of Kemble Walter's on Bass/vocals, put the pedal to the metal and never stopped.
The Black Crowes delivered an outstanding performance at Fox Theater in Oakland on their Happiness Bastards tour. Chris Robinson lit up the stage with his Rock Star moves and pitch-perfect vocals.
Tracy Bonham graced us with her beautiful music at Ivy Room last Friday night. It is a rare opportunity to capture an artist with such exceptional talent at an intimate setting. The venue was packed tightly, and the crowd was eagerly waiting. Tracy delivered a flawless performance and fulfilled our hearts' desire.
What an absolute honor to capture her in her element. 馃敟馃敟馃敟
Moon Sick delivered a 'Smokin' Hot' set at Ivy Room!!! 馃敟馃敟馃敟 This Santa Rosa band has all the goods, mixing up surf-doom, space-punk, and beach-trash, with psychedelic rock and space age vibes.
The Zeros headlined the St. Pats Day Punk Matinee at Ivy Room. They were absolutely spectacular!!! Javier Escovedo was pitch-perfect, hammering out their fast frenzied classic hit songs such as Main Street Brat, Wimp, Beat Your Heart Out, Hand Grenade Heart, and my favorite, Don't Push Me Around, to name a few. Thanks to the Ivy Room for always putting on Killer shows and to the bands and fans that continue to keep the music scene alive.
Heartworms opened up for The Kills at Fox Theater, and let me tell you, they are absolutely Fucking Off the charts!! Jojo Orme delivers some of the best Gothic post-punk music I've ever heard. Her stage presence is fearless and beyond... I strongly encourage you to seek out her music. You will be floored!!
Buzzcocks hammered us hard at Great American Music Hall with their rapid-fire punk energy, and we loved every second!!
Steve Diggle was spectacular taking over the lead singer position. Danny Farrant on the kit is among the best, keeping impeccable timing and adding flair. The sold-out crowd created a large moshpit in the center that continued throughout the show.
The Reflectors were amped up for their gig at Great American Music Hall opening up for The Seagulls and Buzzcocks. A lineup like this can definitely get the juices flowing. This LA power pop/punk band delivers fun catchy songs full of life. Super fun show!! 馃憦馃憦馃敟馃挜馃 馃摲 @rockinshots @the_reflectors @greatamericanmusichall @mnprmagazine @soundcheck_sf
The Seagulls, fronted by British punk Jon Brooder, dished out some wicked garage rock and masterful ska-tinged tunes last night at GAMH. This SF band is solid and will guarantee a Rockin' fun show!! 馃敟
