RECAP: While She Sleeps – He Is Legend – Savage Hands – Machinist Live at the Gramercy Theater

The brand brought their propulsive live chops to the stage, performing tracks from their last few albums, and their sick new single ‘Fakers Plague’, and much more.

Of course, I am talking about the original untamed mane rock star, Sebastian Bach.Continue reading
