WARNING: FLAMMABLE! LIGHT FUSE AND GET AWAY Straight out of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, these four boys have only been in LA for 7 weeks, and already they're stirring up quite a bit of attention in the music world. I attended Diesel's packed show at the Dragonfly last Saturday night just to see for myself what …
Music. Unity. Happiness. Youth. Energy. Talent. Fun. This band kicks serious ass. This band is 311, and in my opinion they are one of the most entertaining things to ever happen to music. I have had the pleasure of seeing 311 about 7 times in my life and it has always been enjoyable. But I …
Sorry boys, but Wednesday night at the House of Blues was owned by the ladies! The corridors of the club were filled with the lilting sighs, and cruelly perfumed melodies from UnEarthed.com favorites My Ruin, and Otep – with a strong shot of pure grain Drunk with Power to take the edge off. We ventured …
Devore, CA — It was about 100 in the afternoon when the gates to the hell, which was the Blockbuster Pavilion, opened and let us in to fry in the 95 degree blaze of the San Fernando desert. Feeling as though we were chocolate in a frying pan, we persevered. After all, it was the …

On Tuesday May 29, 2001, as another hot day in Southern California gave way to a warm night, some of rock’s biggest names converged in a small club in Hollywood named Vynyl, and treated the crowd to an amazing set of hip-hop molten down with hard rock. Collectively, they called themselves Los Mariwanos. Members included …
It was definitely a change in music for me this night at the Troubadour. It wasn’t the usual screaming rawk that we all know and love. Maybe it was industrial-metal or something, I don’t know what you’d call it, but I liked it. The first band of the evening, was a band from Texas called …

The band barreled through a powerful set completed by some new, mind-blowing material that moved the crowd to shout along with raised hands in the air, and eventually tornado in an all out mosh. Not only did the band completely …
