The Black Veil Brides Black Mass Tour made a stop in San Francisco earlier this month. In case you missed it, check out our coverage of the spectacular night!

 

After opening sets by Set It Off, Drama Club and Falling In Reverse, the night was topped off with a stunning set by Black Veil Brides. They took to the stage and started right with the first single, Heart of Fire off their recently released self titled album. The energy that these five young men bring out is non stop and truly remains unmatched. The set was filled with a variety of old and new songs, even performing Coffin for the first time in San Francisco. The light show was stunning and the sound was crisp and spot on. If you listen to people talk about the rock scene being dead or the music industry is dying out, when you come to a BVB show, you will see the living and breathing proof that Rock will never die! I loved seeing the crowd which included fans as young as 6 years old and as seasoned rockers well into their senior years, singing along to every word. The music of Black Veil Brides does not limit itself to one genre, age, or lifestyle. It is simply pure rock and roll at its finest and that is why the attraction to them is insurmountable. You can’t help but love their music and even more so, the message they bring to the fans about staying true to who you, follow your dreams and stand up and be proud. Each generation brings those bands that will stand the test of time, Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, Kiss, Van Halen, Motley Crue, just to name a few, and now without a doubt; Black Veil Brides rightfully carries their place on the list.

Stay tuned as we will be bringing you full photo galleries of each set.  If The Black Mass 2014 Tour is coming to a venue even remotely near you, I would strongly urge you to make it to one of the shows. You will find yourself at what I think is the Best Tour of 2014!

Mallory Trunnell knows how to party and make people happy. By Patrick O’Heffernan

 

Mallory Trunnell knows  how to party and she threw an heck of one at the Hotel Café Sunday night to release her new album,  Words.  Dramatic in a puffy pink prom dress with a blue silk sash marvelously clashing with her red hair,  brilliant red  lipstick and plastic flower necklace, Mallory was dressed for the part…part music, part fun,  part party.  She started the party with a parade of singing a Capella girls, who wound their way through the audience to stand in front of the stage adding a backup of ooh-ohh –oho and bong, bong, bong” to “Mallory’s  opening number from the new album, “My Turn”.  It was smiles from there.

But despite the celebratory atmosphere, Mallory Trunnell is not a party girl; she is a busy girl, and has been from an early age.  She grew up in Delta Utah and began an acting career at the age of 4 and started writing songs at 9, pretty sizeable accomplishments for a child in a desert town of about 3500 people. She is now  in LA and is thriving in this city of 3 and half  million, at least 10,000 of whom are  aspiring musicians.  Currently on her plate is  promoting  the new album released at  Sunday nights party, The Twilight Music Girls band based on the Twilight book series, an earlier band called The crimson Calamity with Lauren Harding,  a “Walk Through Music” video to help support the Take the Walk charity,  the Hot Topic West Coast Tour  and other gigs including the House of Blues earlier this month.

She brings that busy energy to her performances.  She fills the room with energy as well as music.  Far more than a singer/songwriter, Trunnell is a force of nature on stage, directing the a Capella chorus, the two Bob Bop Girls backup (and sometimes foreground) singers, and her band or playing solo piano –  while all the time keeping us laughing, toe-tapping and occasionally singing along.

 

The a Capella chorus sauntered back into the audience as Trunnell began the title song from the album, “Words”, happily singing the not so happy words with a big smile:  I’ve been restless and feeling desperate/When I could barely breathe. This is Trunnell’s signature, happy, upbeat melodies with not so happy lyrics. Listen the words.

She continued the upbeat music/downbeat lyrics with “Happy”, starting with a devil-may-care Da da da da da da dum/Da da da da da doo doo doot n doo doo doot,n do yeah and follows it by asking the very sincere why does it hurt her to hate her lover  when it doesn’t hurt her lover to hate her – all  joyfully accented by the Bob Bop Girls whose ooo’s and bob, bop’s make you grin while you wonder at the lyrics.

She lowers the energy but ups the emotion with the querulous “Waiting”,  asking plaintively I am. You Are. Can We be?  and then really lowers it with “Tattooed”, a slowed-walked urgent conversation with a lover. She laments the Tattoos so deep /They sink to my bones….I scrub and scrub/and scrub and scrub and scrub…But your colors have tattooed me.  Her voice is urgent, her soul is stricken and she leaves us thinking how can this vivacious redhead with a silly grin in a 50’s prom dress with a guitar slung awkwardly across her chest make us feel so deeply that our stomachs tighten.

A consummate performer, Trunnell understands emotional breaks and emotional momentum – and when to do both.  She gives us the break by moving to the piano and shooing the band off the sage, lightening the atmosphere. Then, she announces it’s story time and  tells about the woman who set her on the path to music , her grandmother Ruby, the subject of the next song. The simple piano with her personal, talk-directly-to-you  singing made this a high point of the evening.  We laughed before; now we cried. Then we clapped when she gave a shout out to her mom, sitting at a table with friends enjoying her daughter’s talent and love.

But it was time to return to upbeat /downbeat as she stepped back to the microphone and brought the band onstage for “Quit You”, another  paean to an addictive bad-for-you relationship. No,no,no I cannot quit you ….Since you’ve been gone/There’s been a little too much room/ in my bed.  Most singer/songwriters mine their own  lives for material;  if Trunnell’s lyrics come from her life, her memoir will be delicious.

 Trunnell finished with a flourish, singing “Tomorrow’s Coming Fast”,  telling the very substantial Sunday night 7 pm early crowd  I’ve got paper/Got words to rhyme/I’ve got music.

Music is exactly what she has and when she shares it she makes people very, very happy.

Patrick O’Heffernan. Host, Music FridayLive!

The Eeries Break The Barricade in NYC! Yes, You Read That Correctly. Contributed by Allison Socol

If by any chance you were wondering which band got the honored opportunity to tour with THE. ONE. AND. ONLY- “Uncle Jiggy” (A true MCR fan will understand who) on his ‘First’ new solo tour…

Then you’ll be pleased to know it was a band called The Eeries. I was fortunate to see these guys in action at Webster Hall, NYC. And I think four words can sum up their performance: They. Broke. The. Barricade.

No Joke! These guys had the crowd jumping up and down, dancing to the beat, and drooling over them. ( I mean who wouldn’t…they have beards! and long hair! :O)

The crowd was going so hard in the pit, that when lead singer Isaiah Silva stage dived into the crowd, everyone was pushing against the barricade too hard and it started closing in on all the photographers in the pit. Not to mention the floor almost split into two from everyone jumping!

But the moment these fans saw that Gerard Way walked on to the stage with these guys.....that was it for that barricade. Unfortunately everyone and everyTHING has its breaking point. And that was it. It started closing in on me and it was either stay where I was and be decapitated between the stage and the barricade – or jump on to the stage with your hands in surrender. As if saying “I swear! I am not going to touch this really famous person. I just would like to keep my head connected to my body.”.  Thankfully no security came after me, and I walked past him to safety.

But man was that the most intense concert…and it wasn’t even hard core music! so you are all welcomed to join me in my confusion.

So I think its more than safe to say that you should DEFINITELY check these guys out!

Moral of me telling you all of this:

Be safe around good music. You never know if it will lead you to jumping on the stage with Gerard Way. (Your inner 12 year–old self would be beyond proud if it did though–  at least mine was lol)

Enjoy! and Happy Listening 🙂

Falling In Reverse deliver a DO NOT MISS set on The Black Mass Tour

We recently brought you our recap of the Black Veil Brides Black Mass Tour as it made a stop in San Francisco at the legendary Warfield Theater. You can read more about the whole night here. We know that if you are like us, you are addicted to Falling In Reverse and you need more of a fix, so here you go.

Falling In Reverse did it again as they always do….. Put on a great show and they seem to push the bar higher each time, and easily meeting it. Ronnie shined with his over the top spectacular stage presence. Without a doubt, he is the Champion of the stage! One of the reasons that Falling in Reverse is so damn fun is because of Mr. Ronnie Radke, who is a true entertainer in all aspects. There is no denying it. This is one guy who really proves that no matter how people try to bring him down, he always rises above it and comes back even twice as strong.  He literally makes sure that everyone in that venue is having the time of their life, singing along and having fun. And on this night at The Warfield, that is exactly what happened. It was wild to hear what was nearly the entire audience singing along to all the songs in the set! If we had an award to give out this year, it would be for Frontman of the Year and it would deservedly go to Mr. Ronnie Radke.

Their set had a cool backdrop with the middle fingers in the air adorning  two basketball hoops which went great with their Falling In Reverse team uniforms. They involved the audience as they attempted to make shots into the baskets and no worries when they missed, since they were then given t-shirts. It was an all around fun night and you had only hoped for more music from them.  They even ended their set by playing The Drug In Me is You, not only once…. but twice which brought the excitement of the crowd to paramount levels.

Jacky Vincent was a madman on his purple custom Dean and he whipped out his sweet solos without missing a note. He was jumping around the stage and feeding the audience with his abundant energy.  You would then look to the right and catch Derek Jones on guitar and J. Wolf on bass treating the crowd to their own stage antics. I loved Ryan as he was breaking in his new Truth Drum kit. He is fierce on backing vocals and drums and yet, makes it look so easy as he always has an infectious smile on his face.  Everyone in the venue including these musicians were having an awesome time. Check out a slideshow of photos from their set:

Linda Perry’s Make or Break Project winner Hemming releases new song, Vitamins

Hemming (aka Candice Martello) was first introduced to the world through VH1’s Make or Break : The Linda Perry Project as one half of the Philadelphia punk duo Omar. Make or Break was developed by superstar producer and songwriter Linda Perry as the antithesis to reality music shows.  Martello joined the show as part of a band, but it was her solo work and a song called “Vitamins” that caught Perry’s attention and started Martello on the journey of finding and developing the voice of Hemming. At the conclusion of the show Martello was presented with the opportunity to make a record with Perry that will be coming out on Perry’s label (Custard Records) this Spring.

Hemming’s unique songwriting stamp is her ability to beautifully personify inanimate objects. The idea for “Vitamins” came to her while doing the regular morning routine of taking her daily vitamin. The song is about relying on something outside of yourself, whether that be material goods, substances or another person, to be happy and fulfilled. The song was recorded three different ways before getting it right. The initial attempt included very experimental  orchestrations, but the experimentation diminished the songs emotion. As an acoustic track the sound didn’t quite capture the beauty of the lyrics, and the final product was a combination of the two,  a simple and subtle arrangement that allows the strength of the lyrics and the uniqueness of Hemming’s voice to shine. Check out the song here and download it on iTunes here:

Hemming is in currently in the middle of a twenty-seven date tour with Rachael Yamagata. The list of remaining dates are below:

11.05 | Nashville, TN | 3rd & Lindsley

11.07 | Charlotte, NC | Visulite Theatre

11.08 | Carrboro, NC | Cat’s Cradle Back Room

11.10 | Annapolis, MD | Rams Head On Stage

11.15 | Philadelphia, PA | Union Transfer

11.17 | New York, NY | Bowery Ballroom

In case you missed it, check out the video for her song, Hard on Myself. The song is currently available on the Linda Perry Project Season One EP oniTunes. It begins with a country twangy vibe and then her compelling vocals set in. She really is spectacular and the country feel is like a triumph of emotions at a Western high noon shoot out. Very creative and quite unique style, definitely a fave of mine. Check it out here:

Make sure to pick up the EP, which is  available on iTunes and Amazon. Stay tuned for her new album set to release in Spring 2015.  Also check out our article on the single by Linda Perry’s alter-ego BluStone.

Black Veil Brides bring their Black Mass Tour to a packed crowd in San Francisco

What might possibly be titled the best tour of 2014, Black Veil Brides Black Mass Tour made a stop in San Francisco last night.  They brought the top notch lineup to the legendary Warfield Theater in San Francisco. The line outside the venue circled around Market Street and it was filled with concertgoers of all ages, styles, genres, etc. The crowd was there to do one thing, show their love for music and to support these great bands.

We will be bringing you complete photo galleries and full coverage of each band in the coming days, but we wanted to give you a quick recap of the night.

Drama Club, the electric and mysterious DJ duo started the show off right by delivering a full energetic dose of elecro shock pop. They got the crowd completely fired up and even did a remix of Andy Black’s They Don’t Need To Understand. The two were intense as their spectacular stage presence captured everyone’s attention. They were the perfect opener to get the crowd on their feet and ready for an unbelievable show.

Set It Off hit the stage and the adrenaline in the crowd was raised up and you couldn’t help but get infected with the high powered vitality on that stage. It was great to see the crowd sing along to fan favorites as well as their new song, Why Worry. If you weren’t familiar with Set It Off before that night, I am sure you left the Warfield acknowledging that they just might be your new favorite band.

Falling In Reverse did it again as they always do….. Put on a great show and they seem to push the bar higher each time, and easily meeting it. Ronnie shined with his over the top spectacular stage presence. Without a doubt, he is the Champion of the stage! He literally makes sure that everyone in that venue is having the time of their life, singing along and having fun. Their set had a cool backdrop with the middle fingers in the air adorning  two basketball hoops which went great with their Falling In Reverse team uniforms. They even ended their set by playing The Drug In Me is You, not only once…. but twice which brought the excitement of the crowd to paramount levels.

The night was topped off with a stunning set by Black Veil Brides. They took to the stage and started right with the first single, Heart of Fire off their recently released self titled album. The energy that these five young men bring out is non stop and truly remains unmatched. The set was filled with a variety of old and new songs, even performing Coffin for the first time in San Francisco. The light show was stunning and the sound was crisp and spot on.

Criss Angel announces June 2015 world premiere of The SUPERNATURALISTS™, third live show

 

Tomorrow on the eve of the 88th anniversary of Houdini’s death, Criss Angel will be unveiling his latest creation, The SUPERNATURALISTS™, which will be his third love show. This show will feature 8 mind-blowing magicians that destroy reality and revolutionize the live magic ensemble experience. It will premiere at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut and launch a three week run and will then continue on as a national and world tour! Dates will be announced in the coming months and I hope they have plenty planned for California.

Criss Angel explains his motivation for The SUPERNATURALISTS™:  “While there are other ensemble shows out there, performing many of the same illusions that have been around for years, my goal is to redefine magic touring like Cirque du Soleil did for the Circus.  I’ve scoured the globe for the very best performers, each in their respected disciplines, and our lineup is historic.”

The unprecedented world-class cast includes a variety of magicians from around the globe:

“The Illusionist” Brett Daniels (U.S.): Honored as Magician Of The Year and two-time Entertainer Of The Year, Daniels has starred in more than a dozen network magic TV specials.  “I’m not only honored to be working with the most successful magician on planet earth but I’m excited about this show,” Brett says.  “This show will redefine magic touring as we know it and–trust me, as creator of some of the current magic shows on the road–The SUPERNATURALISTS™ will be unlike any magic touring show ever produced.”

“The Mystfier” Cosentino (Australia): The most successful magician from his country, he was awarded International Magician Of The Year and is the creator and star of four of his own mega-hit rated primetime magic TV specials. He was the winner of Dancing With The Stars and second place in Australia’s Got Talent.  “I’ve been courted by other ensemble magic shows in the past, but declined since I’ve been selling out my own national tours for years,” Cosentino adds.  “I’m thrilled to be a part of Criss’ peerless creative vision, this incredible cast and what’s in store – it’s light years beyond what we know in magic. It’s genius.”

“The Mentalist” Banachek (South Africa): Lifetime Achievement award recipient, two time Entertainer Of The Year, he was also awarded Outstanding Contribution To The World Of Mentalism.  Banacheck is the only man to fool scientists with the power of his mind; he is known by his peers as the greatest mentalist alive, and is the author of eight best-selling magic/mentalism books.

“The Street Magician Phenom” Adrian Vega (Spain): The only first place winner in both the categories of close-up and stage magic in the Cordoba magic competition and winner of the Spanish Championship Of Close-Up magic. He has been awarded Spanish Magician Of The Year by his peers and received a special Award Of Merit in London.

“The Femme Fatale Of Legerdemain” Krystyn (U.S.):  Leading magic’s female revolution, she has dominated the field on stage and on camera, was featured in Teen Vogue, on the Today Show and in 10 episodes of the Criss Angel BeLIEve television series. Krystyn has been awarded World Teen Magician, placed second on America’s Most Talented Kids, has been honored by the Magic Castle with the Junior Achievement Award and starred in the documentary “Make Believe”–an award winning film.

“The Dog Whisperer Of Magic” Johnny (Columbia):  One of the most original and in-demand acts out there, he has been awarded Best Showman Of Columbia two times and has performed in circuses around the world for over 30 years. His love for animals and uncanny ability to understand their behavior has resulted in the most unbelievable magic act and the ONLY one in the world of its kind

And last–but not least–physical comedy master “The Joker” The Great Maestro (Mexico): Kung Fu World Champion and co-star of over twenty five hundred performances of Criss Angel BeLIEve LIVE at the Luxor in Las Vegas, he has appeared in numerous episodes of both the MINDFREAK and BeLIEve television series, and continues with his hilarious live performances in Vegas while performing on tour in The SUPERNATURALISTS™…with the use of a teleportation device…

The mind-blowing The SUPERNATURALISTS™ will destroy reality.  “I’ve been working on this concept for many years and I know my co-producer Brett Daniels has as well,” Crissreveals.  “We are resolute in our mission to bring to the stage a truly revolutionary theatrical experience of magic unlike anything that has ever been seen before.”

And lastly, Criss Angel will be joining the cast himself…virtually!  Says Angel, “In addition to being a part of each performance via LIvE video feed from Las Vegas, I will be making myself available to the media and will make surprise, unannounced appearances in The SUPERNATURALISTS™–it’s gonna be a blast!”

Concert Review: Black Veil Brides Black Mass Tour 2014 – O2 Academy Brixton, London

Concert Review – Black Veil Brides – Black Mass Tour 2014 – O2 Academy Brixton, London, Oct. 4th 2014

 Arriving at the venue, there’s already a big crowd lining up around the block. The end of the line reached the start and they asked everyone to get closer together, so there’s enough place for everyone to queue.

With opening the doors at 7 pm, the crowd was off and started moving. People with O2 phones got in first and the rest followed through quickly. Inside, Drama Club already started their set. The steady beat of their tunes got the crowd going. Part of their set was a remix of Andy Black’s (Andy Biersacks moniker), “They Don’t Need To Understand“. If they didn’t have everyone on their side, now they had. Even though they don’t play a classic rock sound they fit in pretty good.

Next on were UK residents Fearless Vampire Killers. They were obviously known to many people. Singers/guitarists Kier Kemp and Laurenence Beveridge switch singers position after a few songs. Good choice bringing them along. With this set-list they were the ones which are closest to the music Black Veil Brides play.

Next up came Attila. They canceled their own headline tour through the UK to be able to play this set with Black Veil Brides. They played an energetic set. Their singer Fronz knows how to get the crowd going and several time encourages them to do circle pits and simply just to party with them, having a good time.

Now everyone was ready for the headliners – Black Veil Brides. With every microphone that was put on stage and everything moving they cheered. When CC finally climbed up to his drum kit, the crowd went wild. He was followed by the rest of the band and they immediately started their set with “Heart Of  Fire“, one of the two already released songs of their self titled album “Black Veil Brides“. The stage had two stairs left and right from a podium where the drum kit was placed on in the middle of the stage on a huge stack of Marshall amps. At the end of each stair there were monitors where sometimes fire, the band logo and other pictures were displayed. Next on was a well known song for everyone “I Am Bulletproof“ from their latest album “Wretched and Divine“.

Andy Biersack, well known to hold unforgettable speeches, greeted everyone and told them how much they love to be back in the UK. There were more of those speeches throughout the show. He never tired to thank the BVB Army (that’s what their fanbase is called) for their support throughout the last 5 years. That all of this wouldn’t have been possible, if they didn’t stand beside the band as much as they do. The BVB Army is a really dedicated fanbase throughout the world.

Watching the band play, you could see how much fun they had on stage and how much they love their job and also their fans. Jinxx, playing the guitar and also every other string instrument the band uses in their songs, wore a „I love London“ shirt, which was exactly what everyone felt by watching them play.

Next up came a song, they never played live in the UK before. It’s from the EP „Rebels“ and is called „Coffin“. It was received with a great cheer from the crowd. It was followed by another live debut, the second one of the upcomping album, that will be released worldwide on October 27th. It’s called „Faithless“. It’s only been released for about two weeks, but the crowd already knew every word.

Their set included some more of the new songs from “Black Veil Brides“ that were so far only known to a small crowd of people that were invited to a pre-listening-party about 3 weeks ago in London. They played “Good Bye Agony“ a slow song and “Last Rites“, which made everyone a bit more excited for the record release in 2 weeks.

Black Veil Brides also played some songs from their debut-album “We Stitch These Wounds“, like the breakthrough song of their career “Knives and Pens“, which has over 62 million clicks so far on Youtube and “Sweet Blasphemy“.

Like at most rock shows there also was a drum solo. The set list included a good mix of every record they released so far and the one that will be out soon. No other cover songs this time.

They closed the set with “Fallen Angels“ and finalized it with “Love Isn’t Always Fair“ and their fairly popular song “In The End“, which is a perfect ending to a fantastic show with amazing lighting, pyros and confetti for the final tunes.

Black Veil Brides clearly evolved with every record they made and every tour the play. Ready now to play big venues. They promised to come back to the UK soon and I’m pretty sure they will….

Their UK-tour ends Oct. 17th in Leeds. The US-Tour starts Oct. 21st in Niagara Falls, NY.

Black Veil Brides have released the cover art for their new self titled album and the track listing.  The fourth studio album Black Veil Brides  is set for release on October 27th here in the US. We have been loving the new track Heart of Fire and now you can check out the new music video for it here:

 

The song just proves that Black Veil Brides may be releasing what could possibly be the Album of the Year. I am in no way surprised since these give are truly gifted musicians.
