Artists & Events Covered by BackStage360
Earlier last month, BackStage3660 had the opportunity to witness Dweezil Zappa’s newest tour celebrating the 50th Anniversary of his father’s classic album “FREAK OUT” . Having seen Dweezil play about ten years ago, I liked his own personal style but this newest tour was special because he would be playing his dad’s album “Freak Out” in […]
It appears that this hardcore In-Your-Face Southern Californian punk HARD southern-rock sleaze-metal honky-tonk band doesn’t have a clear musical identity; anybody can find something they love from Scattered Hamlet’s sophomore full-length release album Swamp Rebel Machine. I’m tired after typing all of that, but there’s no easy way to sum up what this four-some of […]
German power metallers BRAINSTORM will release a completely reworked version of their 2009 album “Memorial Roots ”, titled “Memorial Roots (Re•Rooted)” on October 14th, 2016. It includes all 15 tracks of the “Memorial Roots” sessions (besides the 11 regular album songs there were bonus tracks on the Digipak• Vinyl• and Japanese editions), which were newly mixed by […]
I’ve never been to a festival before KAABOO Del Mar’s non-festival ‘mixperience’ appeared in San Diego last year. That decision has mainly been by choice, after the recounts and painful stories I’ve heard from friends who have travelled the distances. Horror stories about the smell of porta-johns, carnival-style fried foods, and virtually nowhere to cool […]
The Struts hit the stage right on time and from the outset it was apparent that this band was the real deal. I for one had never seen this band live but had heard their single “IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME” and their latest one “KISS THIS” from their new album EVERYBODY WANTS. What I […]
This year, as did the previous year, KAABOO featured a diverse selection of artists. One of those featured artists this year was the incomparable Orianthi. At first most people may have only been impressed by her looks. Of course that was only until they heard her amazing guitar skills. Now I’ve seen her play many […]
The KaaBoo Festival in beautiful Del Mar, California was the setting for a joyous afternoon of great music. If you were lucky enough to be there on Sunday September 18th you got to witness some of the finest musicians ever to grace the Trestles stage, including the brilliant songs from the Blues Traveler band. John […]
It’s been a decade since the familiar voice of Steven Tyler has graced the ears of San Diegans, and leave it to the only mix-perience of it’s kind around, KAABOO Del Mar, to bring the legendary Aerosmith back to the most southern tip of California. There were thousands of people crowding around the Sunset Cliffs […]
As the members of Collective Soul took the stage you could feel the electricity in the air. The crowd was screaming with excitement when they kicked it off with “Heavy” a Monster Riff driven song from the 1999 album Dosage. Keep the heavy power chords coming and start into the song “Why PT.2” from 2000’s […]
The Parrot head’s appeared to be dancing and swaying before the music even started, but maybe that was because of the copious amounts of alcohol consumed on day one of KAABOO Del Mar, where a crazy San Diego week’s end demanded a touch of the tropics. Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer band were sure […]
