When it was announced that AESTHETIC PERFECTION was finally coming to Vegas I had no idea what to expect, and to make it even more appealing they were bringing one of my personal favorite bands, JULIAN-K along with PRIEST. The show sold out a few days before their arrival, and I was looking forward to the show. I was a little confused when I saw the PRIEST backdrop get hung up behind the stage, but saw the guys in Julian-K take the stage. But thrilled none the less as this wa

I was very disappointed when I saw that LACUNA COIL was not playing my hometown Vegas on this new SLEEPLESS EMPIRE tour, so I immediately started looking for a city nearby, and decided to head to Phoenix and check out the Van Buren , a nationally historic venue that for the last ten years has hosted an array of music and performances. For this show ESCAPE THE FATE and VOWWS joined the lineup, for a truly metal experience. Australian death-pop duo VOWWS was first on stage,

Once again one of the best thrash bands in the world returned to Vegas and this time headlined at the fantastic Brooklyn Bowl! OVERKILL brought the heat to Las Vegas with he Scorching the Earth World Tour and the Brooklyn Bowl was a fire pit of mosh and metal. Opening up the show were two local bands, MADZILLA & SILENT THORNE , who lit the fuse to get the party started. SILENT THRONE is a very solid metalcore/ rock band that brings great energy and a loyal fan base with th

Crowbar and EyeHateGod returned to Vegas, with a packed show at the Fremont Country Club and support from Vegas' Papsmear . This show was originally going to be held at the rebranded Bizarre Bar (old Swan Dive) but due to larger than expected ticket sales this show was moved to the larger Fremont Country Club in Downtown Las Vegas for a mobbed venue ready for a metal night of music. Kicking off the show was local legendary hardcore boys PAPSMEAR , a 4 piece heavy thrash b

Talk about a stacked lineup for this show! AVATAR returned to Vegas and on this trip they brought two bands I have been highly anticipating seeing - ALIEN WEAPONRY and hometown favs SPIRITWORLD . For a busy Saturday night the Vegas local metalheads turned out in force, packing the Brooklyn Bowl with a long line an hour before the doors even opened. Kicking off the evening was SPIRITWORLD , and when the band hit the stage I thought it was already December and the Rodeo was

Dancing Plague returned to Vegas after a year to The Griffin on downtown Fremont Street, and this time on the bill was darkwave / goth / performance artist Aux Animaux , who I really wanted to see as well. The room at The Griffin is not per say a traditional music venue, but as the promoter describes it a "rock n roll speakeasy". You enter the venue and go into a bar that is all brick arches, with fireplaces going, and looks like a lode up in the mountains. From there you g
