I was a punk rock kid born in the 80s growing up in the 90s finding his way through the 2000s. I have three brothers that are all involved with music in one facet or another. My older brother who bleeds metal music, exposed me to so many amazing bands and musicians of the genre. […]
The band opening the Doobie Brothers show tonight was “JD and the Straight Shot,” read the great review by Siege in last month’s May issue. After a short intermission I found my seat and waited for The Doobie Brothers to take the stage. These guys were an essential part of the summer concert scene when […]
As the house lights faded and the audience took their seats the band hit the stage and immediately you knew you were in for a different kind of Concert Experience. I mean, when was the last time you heard the music of Metallica played by four cellists? It was obvious to see that the band […]
This was my very first time ever I have been to an international guitar festival and I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew that there would be guitars and people that would like to buy guitars for themselves but I had no idea what I was about to experience. I arrived in Dallas […]
Knee High Fox released their first record, Black Widow, in 2012 and have been touring extensively ever since. It would be hard to know where they have found the time to record, three more records and two EP’s since, but they did. I think they are Vampires without the “day” sleep requirement.

The opening bands for tonight’s show were all at the top of their game. Alchemy, Helsott, Warpath and Elm Street kept the crowd entertained while we all […]
“Build it and they will come”! And they did to the tune of a sold out event. They came with water bottles, folding chairs and an excitement in anticipation of the day’s event. There I was, 8:30 a.m. camera in hand. I observed Andy Doty, the events creator, brain-child and Commander in Chief executing protocol […]
April 5th 2018 will always be remembered as the day John 5 and the Creatures blew the roof off of San Diego’s premier Rock Venue ‘Brick by Brick.’ It was a high energy non-stop show to be remembered. Opening the show were three SoCal bands RDG, Taz Taylor and Pet Shark. All three bands are […]

The self-titled debut produced a number of hits, Hard as a Rock, Kissin Kitty, and the ever popular Smooth Up in Ya. At the time they were categorized as a “Hair Metal” or a […]
