After seeing the sights in the gateway to the west on November 29th, Halestorm arrived to Stifel Theatre in downtown St. Louis and made sure that everyone who was in attendance knew rock wasn’t dead.  It was a night featuring three strong performances from female voiced bands and it was …

If more bands put as much effort into their stage production and performance as they do their music, the rock scene would be on a much higher level. In This Moment is a band that has proven over the years that rock isn’t just about studio sessions.  Whether it’s crafting …

Hands Like Houses traveled thousands of miles to the U.S. for their 2018 fall headlining tour with support from Emarosa, Devour the Day, The Faim, and Arlington. The five members of Hands Like Houses hail from Canberra, Australia and are touring in support of their new album ‘-Anon’. The songs …

Along with the music and EDM sets at Big Adventure, the new festival also featured many big names in stand-up comedy.  Almost everyone of them made a joke about performing in an airplane hangar. My personal favorites of the weekends were Patton Oswalt, Ron Funches, and Emo Phillips.  Check below …
