The Virginmarys are currently out on tour with Buckcherry and we had the chance to catch them on their 2nd night of the tour at the Heritage Theater in Campbell, CA. They had an amazing year in 2013 with their breakout success of their debut album King of Conflictthrough Wind-Up Records. Their song, Just a Ride has become everyone’s fave and it’s one bad ass track that delivers intense high energy that I LOVE!
Shortly before their performance, we were able to catch up with the guys and are pleased to bring you that interview here:

You may have heard that they are an incredible live band and sound just as awesome as their recordings and you know what? They are even better if that is possible! Here is their setlist of the night:
Ally Dickaty on vocals and guitar is fierce as he bounces around and fills the room with emotionally driven lyrics. Matt Rose on bass is a wild man and you can feel the adrenaline that is powering him. Danny Dolan on drums is throwing out some cheeky drum fills as he is maintaining a 150% energy overload. These guys have an energetic stage presence and for being a trio, they have succeeded in creating a big powerful sound that commands your attention. I would encourage you to take a look and see if they will be coming to a city near you! Tour dates are listed below:

Kids in Glass Houses from South Wales have just announced their Farewell Tour. We are sad to see the end of Kids in Glass Houses (KIGH) since they have such a vibrant full of life sound that will be missed. They made the announcement on their Facebook page with the following:
It’s a surreal and daunting moment when you realise that you’re contemplating bringing to an end something that has given your life unquantifiable joy, satisfaction and meaning. Something that is so personal that it embodies who you are or who you have been perceived as for so long. You start to wonder what you’ll be without it. It’s a near impossible void to comprehend filling, but we feel that now is the right time for us to do move on and do just that.
This is the end of Kids In Glass Houses. Amicably and on our own terms. The way we always promised ourselves it would be.
We’re as unified in this decision as we have been with any that we’ve made together, and we’re excited by the prospect of ending things in the best possible spirit at the end of the year. We’ve known this day was coming for quite a while and have done our best to make sure that the next few months are as memorable as those years that have come before.
We really can’t thank everyone enough for their support over the years. All of the fans who stood waiting in rain or shine; who spent their money and time on us; who opened up to us and confided in us; who shared the music and the ride with us; or who forged lasting friendships based on a mutual love (or maybe hatred…) of our band. To experience any one of those things in isolation is a blessing for any band. To have experienced all of them was an overwhelming honour.
The pleasure really has been all ours and we hope to see you there one last time before the year is out. These shows are a celebration of what we’ve accomplished and the countless unforgettable nights we’ve spent in your exceptional company, in venues the world over. We’ve lived out some of our wildest dreams over the last 8 years and achieved far more than we ever thought was possible when we sat, determined and freezing, in a rehearsal-space-come-office-unit on an industrial estate in Taff’s Well.
Through the support of our fans, families, friends and the countless talented and selfless people who’ve spilt sweat and tears working on our behalf – we went from playing rugby clubs to Cardiff City Stadium; from village fetes to Reading Festival Main stage; from handing out free demos to the Taste Of Chaos queue in 2005, to securing 4 top 40 albums in 5 years. It’s been a total trip and, thankfully (and sometimes regrettably), we’ve got the photos to prove it.
With the utmost sincerity – thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued faith in us from first day to last. Without it we would never have been lucky enough to do any of this. We love you all very much and will miss you more than we can probably even comprehend at this moment in time.
Stop wishing for the sunshine, start living in the rain.
Peace out, you snake bitches
Aled, Iain, Joel, Phil & Shay

Wake up everyone, it is Sunday morning and what better way to recuperate from a crazy weekend than by cranking up some new Gypsy Pistoleros!! Just this morning, Gypsy Pistoleros released their video for their new single, “The Dirty Side of Midnight” and it KICKS ASS!! It makes me wan to start my weekend all over. Here it is:
We had the opportunity to chat with Gaz Harris, the new singer for Gypsy Pistoleros. You might remember Gaz from our interview with him when he was with Wratchild. Well, Gaz’s high energy and powerful vocals have found the perfect home in Gypsy Pistoleros. Here is Gaz to tell us more about the Gypsy Pistoleros:
* * * * * *
Music Junkie Press: HI Gaz, It is great to hear that you are with the Gypsy Pistoleros. How did that come to happen?
Gaz: Well Mari, I was talking to Jeff Pistolero on a night out in Wolverhampton. We got talking and I wanted to be out gigging more than i was doing with Wrathchild. So, I said Ii would come along to a rehearsal. Soon as I heard the new stuff they was working on I was tuned in and needed to be a part of this. The energy was great, I started working on a few lyrics and everything started to gel together. Iggie, Jeff ,Kenny and myself all wanted the same thing; to make good old British rock n roll and want to play every where we can. I’m really excited about the future for the Gypsy Pistoleros
Music Junkie Press: We are very excited for new music.What are you guys currently working on?
Gaz: We are working on the new album its coming together very quick in the 3 months of joining we have already had a few warm up gigs before we start touring in 2014 and the new stuff is going down with fans well, and got to say the fans of the Gypsy Ppistoleros have welcomed me with welcome arms. Thank You.
Music Junkie Press: We understand Gypsy Pistoleros is releasing a new single, can you tell me more about the song?
Gaz: Yes it’s called THE DIRTY SIDE OF MIDNIGHT it’s about deep down we all love the darker side of love and where we get our kicks from. We are all human at the end of the day ,we are very lucky for the video the owners of LEGS11 BIRMINGHAM allowed us to use one of his clubs, a fantastic place and we enjoyed so much filming the video there and the girls Paula ,Jenny, Sandrea, and Tamsyn, for putting on the glam for us.
Music Junkie Press: Do you have any upcoming shows planned?
Gaz: Yes, we have loads of booking enquires ,we are supporting LoveHate in Scotland and London, also we have a few festivals confirmed. I’m expecting a busy 2014 but that’s the way I like it.
Music Junkie Press:What is in store for Gypsy Pistoleros in 2014?
Gaz: Releasing the new album and getting out there and meeting you all ,and playing live in any country that wants us.
Music Junkie Press: Also make sure to check out Gaz in our Holiday Q & A Special, Part 3 where you can find out what was the oddest gift he ever received or his favorite holiday food item. Check it out here.
