This past Thursday February 9th, I hit the Enclave with Josh Montedoro Photography, another FAM member, for a live concert that consisted of four bands. It was my first show of 2023 and it set the mark for the beginning of what is going to be another busy concert season. The venue quickly became very packed, and to start everyone off, Pittsburgh female fronted hard rock band Drown The Deep opened the evening with an...
It was time to hit what would be the final show for me of 2022 at Black Forge Coffee at Mckees Rocks, PA, and I was joined by none other than Martian as we looked forward to seeing September Mourning. It was a very packed show as everyone looked forward to having their souls collected. Once everyone got settled in, it was time for the show to begin. The very lovely and talented Dematus took...
This past Tuesday November 22nd, Distortion Productions hosted their last show of 2022 at the Black Forge Coffee in Mckees Rocks, PA. It was a solemn night with the fact this would be their final show of the year, but it also made its mark as a way to show everything they have accomplished and gave us a proper introduction to one of the artists that recently joined their roster, Eva X.

He has been largely successful with the events he...

A close friend (Bill from Build the Scene) suggested Jana (the boss of my fam, First Angel Media) and I attend, and he didn’t exactly have to twist our arms to make it happen. Anyone who has any experience with these guys absolutely adores them. A chance to see an amazing band with my amazing friends? Count me...
There is a saying that goes along the lines ‘you can walk in and decide to influence the room no matter where you go’. I can say I experienced that many times, and on Sunday when I walked into Black Forge Coffee House in Mckees Rocks, PA, it was one of those times. I knew it would be special. Distortion Productions was hosting AL1CE for their Pittsburgh stop during their As Above Tour. Once everyone...
