News: Motley Crue Announce Final Tour Dates

Posted by admin on Apr 21, 2015 in Latest, News, Reads | 0 comments

Motley Crue really don’t wanna give up, do they? Aside from this being this being probably the 12th iteration of a farewell tour, they’ve announced another, year long, leg to thier, “Guys, We’re Really Serious This Time Farewell Tour”. Of course, this time they actually are serious, everyone was so sick of their fake farewell tours that they actually signed a legally binding contract stating that they are not allowed to tour under penalty of law. I don’t know how legit that actually is, but it was a hell of a publicity stunt if nothing else.

Now we’re on to the second year of their farewell tour, and they have finally announced the last round of shows, culminating in a three night stint at the Staples Center in LA, wrapping up the long, long legacy that is Motley Crue on December 31st. All joking aside, this is definitely the end of an era, as much as Escape the Fate may try, we really will never have another Motley Crue. It really will be sad to see them go. It also merits a mention that Alice Cooper is the special guest on this tour, so even more of a reason to not miss it. So check out all their remaining tour dates after the jump, this is definitely a tour worth checking out.

Show Spotlight: B.A.D.ASS Raves Presents Temple of Boom DC

Posted by admin on Apr 17, 2015 in Editorials, Featured, Latest, Reads | 0 comments

Here in DC we’re very blessed as far as music goes. Aside from a plethora of shows happening on any given night, we have so many top tier venues to house those shows that we’ve become the envy of cities all around the world. Places like U Street Music Hall, Flash, Echostage, The 9:30 Club, the list is basically endless; any city would be lucky to have even one venue off that list, and we have them all. It’s really remarkable, but what’s even more remarkable is the talent; we have talent and innovators, people that continue to push the envelope show after show, people that will decide it’s too easy to throw a killer show at an internationally ranked venue. So, you know, why not throw a party in a parking garage near Gallaudet University, a school for the deaf?

News: Texas In July Announce European Farewell Tour

Posted by admin on Apr 17, 2015 in Latest, News, Reads | 0 comments

I have to say, this news is sort of a shocker. Maybe I’m just behind on the news, but apparently Texas In July are breaking up, and they have just announced tour dates for the European leg of their farewell tour. This is really disappointing news, these guys are one of the most technical metalcore bands out there, and their recently released self-titled album absolutely ripped.

But alas, all good things must come to an end, and so I highly recommend you check these guys out while you still have a chance. The European leg of this tour is of little consequence to those of us stateside, but this surely means that they will be announcing an American farewell tour before too long. We’ll be sure to update you with the details as soon as they become available.

In case you are reading this from across the pond, check out the full tour routing after the jump.

Quick Six: Rise Records Retrospective

Posted by admin on Apr 16, 2015 in Editorials, Featured, Latest, Reads | 0 comments

Rise Records pretty much took the music industry by storm, and have held on to their place at the top of the indie label totem pole for the better part of a decade. They’re still churning out huge hits like that new Dance Gavin Dance album that we may have mentioned once or twice, the new Of Mice & Men, and an upcoming Silverstein album,among other things. They have also been responsible for monumental hits like The Devil Wears Prada’s Plagues or Attack Attack’s Someday Came Suddenly. In fact, for a little while there around 2010, they had worked out such a foolproof formula of success that a lot of their albums started to sound a bit monotonous (see: aforementioned Attack Attack), but they were still a force to be reckoned with. But despite a few obvious choices and easy money makers, they have always been pushing the envelope and innovating the music scene. In fact, it was generally the lesser known albums that Rise released that went on to be the true gems. And that’s precisely what we’re looking at here; we’re going to take a look at 6 of the lesser known hits from Rise Records on this week’s Quick Six.

News: Incubus & The Deftones Announce Co-Headlining Tour

Posted by admin on Apr 16, 2015 in Latest, News, Reads | 0 comments

In news straight out of the year 2000, Incubus and the Deftones have announced a co-headlining tour today, with support from Death From Above 1979 and The Bots. In fact, the last time these guys toured together was indeed the year 2000. So this is a huge flashback to the alt-rock of the early 2000’s, with two of the most influential bands of the era.

Despite being icons of an era that has more or less gone by, their effects are still being felt throughout the music scene today. And even more impressive, they’re all still going strong. the Deftones are allegedly working on a new album, and Incubus have recently released an EP and are currently working on a second. So while this tour is one gigantic throwback, it’s also a nod in support of their current and upcoming work as well, so this is sure to be an interesting one.
