When it comes to parties, Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian know how to keep their guests entertained. The duo that make up the pop-synth group Capital Cities moved and grooved
Splashed with mud several times to the face, drudging through an ankle-high river of mud, the first day of the Governors Ball gave new meaning to a sloppy outing. Friday’s
Ferrick’s performance at Rockwood Music Hall ultimately demonstrated why she continues to succeed after two decades in the music business. Alongside her performance, rife with raw energy and witty banter, her new album the truth is exemplifies her natural evolution as an artist.
The show was sold out and Billy Idol’s legion of fans were lined up down the boardwalk well before the doors would open and two and a half hours before
After a humongous world tour and a month-long over-the-top residency in Las Vegas, how does Guns N’ Roses possibly top what they have just done? It’s quite simple, actually. Something
Stones Fest proved to be a veritable jukebox of Stones tunes, as each track elicited howls of approval from the locked in and packed crowd. (Truth be told, the setlist was more of the greatest hits variety, but you don’t really hear people clamoring for much post-1989 Stones material, anyways.)
If Day 1 of the 2013 Sasquatch! Music Festival was more subdued and inconsistent, Day 2 was its total opposite, bringing bands that kept the energy high, crowds dancing and laughing and with a never yielding dose of sun.

By Sunday (Day 3), most are feeling the fatigue of doing three days nonstop- from Thursday's camping adventures to the music of Friday and Saturday. So, thankfully Sunday's early scheduling was a bit soft, making it able to ease into the day.
Rain started in the early hours of Friday, and continued until midday, which put a considerable pall over the campgrounds (music wasn't starting until 4PM). Even so, festivalgoers got out as much as they could, and the excitement for the day was palpable. That said, it took a while for the show to get its groove going.
If Queen and AC/DC could have a baby…it’s name would be the Darkness. And with that combination of rock and roll DNA, you really can’t go wrong. The members of the band, Ed Graham (drums), sporting a Darkness T-shirt, Dan Hawkins (guitar), with his signature Thin Lizzy T, Justin Hawkins (vocals and guitar), channeling Freddie Mercury’s style with a black and white vertical striped cat-suit and Frankie Poullain (bass) in his Sci-Fi Samurai cowboy get-up – walked out on stage, held hands and raised them into the air to the cheers of their ecstatic fans.
