To those who were shocked to see me in the outside ring of a mosh pit, I do admit that my look is more ‘unassuming mom’ but those who know me well, know that I grew up in mosh pits and my favorite memories of shows usually involve insane moments of possible injury; so when my friend and coworker told me his show was probably going to be too brutal to get good photos safely…...
Last Thursday First Angel Media threw its first show, Sacrament. In past years there have been First Angel sponsored shows, as well as shows put on by promoters in the area working with FAM, but this was the first of what is meant to be an annual event, run completely by First Angel, and the outcome was a success! For a Thursday night in the Pittsburgh area music scene, a show was a gamble from...
I’m still riding the emotional high from my Saturday night at NeverWake’s Sleepwalker Ball. Each year since this band began their annual charity ball, I’ve made sure to be there to cover it. This night was different though, for some amazing, and bittersweet, reasons. Being a pretty big fan of NeverWake’s music in general (Yes, that was probably me you heard screaming and singing along) I also love that these guys put together a charity...
This past Saturday September 17th, chaos descended upon the Sub Alpine Society with the Forged in Steel Fest 2022. The best of the best metal bands in the Pittsburgh area and beyond came out and gave it their all, and if you missed it, well then you are going to wish you were there for what took place. The night opened with Horrid Ordeal coming on stage and giving us their brand of thrash metal....
This past Friday September 9th was the start of the final US tour of Front 242 at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Millvale, PA. Anticipation was at his highest, and let me say, this was yet another crucial summer concert moment for the books. It was high capacity crowd for the evening, and once everyone got settled in, Distortion Productions act Red Lokust took the stage to get the evening started on the right foot. They...
This past Wednesday August 31, I attended the 201st show presented by Distortion Productions which was held at Black Forge Coffee House in Mckees Rocks, PA. It was to be a pretty hype evening, with three pretty solid acts. I would say it was the best way to end August, and put a cap on a very busy summer concert season. Pittsburgh based electro-industrial band Tragic Impulse was the opening the evening, and their set...
This past Sunday, I returned back to the Sub Alpine Society for what was to be a fully energetic evening. Even with the low crowd, the bands still gave it their all and left me very satisfied by the end of the night. Pittsburgh based CRASH ARMY opened up the evening with their energetic grunge rock sound. They have been called the reincarnated version of Nirvana, and it is very easy to understand why once...
On Saturday August 20th, I had the pleasure to return back to the Sub Alpine in Turtle Creek to check out Living Dead Girl. It was an octane filled evening with much anticipation for what was to come. Opening up the evening was Skarlett Sky, and they nearly set the stage on fire with their intense performance. I was told to keep an eye on them, and it was for good reason, because they definitely...
On Saturday August 20th, members of First Angel Media comprising of Ravyn, Bella Rotten, Jana Lee Macheca, A.L. McDonough, and two members of CRASH ARMY participated in The Alice In Wonderland Experience created by CluedUpp Games. The object of the game was to use clues provided in the app to locate Alice. Essentially, you would go to one location, solve the challenge presented to you, and then you would go to the next location. It...
When Green Jello comes to your town, you can expect it to be a crazy time. Especially as of recent since they expanded their performance to be almost like a traveling circus of different performers, and creating their own online show called WTF-TV which recently hit 1 million subscribers. Episodes stream every Saturday, as well as live streams of their different tour stops. You can check that out on the official website which includes their...
