The December 4th performance by The Birthday Massacre at the Hawthorne Theatre was their best performance yet and easily in the top 5 that I have ever seen. If it was a Mortal Kombat fight, it would have been a “Flawless Victory!!” TBM took control of the Hawthorn Theatre and had everyone yelling “We want more!”
Studio City, CA – February 19, 2005 — It was another rainy night in Los Angeles. The recent thunderstorms continued and shook the city, but there is nothing quite like the thunderous applause of a loyal, supportive audience.

Darwinism left a strong minority of groups that proved their staying power through success beyond one single or album. One of those bands is Michigan’s TapRoot. TapRoot, whose following grew after an infamous …
After fighting traffics, and dealing with less than intelligent Will Call people, we finally made it inside, but after Godsmack had already left the stage. So we waited while they setup the circle stage for Metallica‘s entrance. Not really a big fan of circle stages, but so be it. Lights went down, and the band …
“SLAYER!!“ “F—IN’ SLAYER!!“ Those words were heard bellowed time and time again on Saturday night (October 18th) as the masters of Satan’s music arose upon the Roseland Ballroom stage to a packed house of worshipers.
