LIVESTREAM REVIEW: Philip H. Anselmo And The Illegals – A Vulgar Display of Pantera
If there’s one thing the last twelve months or so have taught people it’s how to adapt, and fans of live music have been no exception. With no shows to attend, the number of people paying to watch their favourite bands – or just any band – performing special quarantine sets has been steadily on the rise.
LIVESTREAM REVIEW: Melvins TV: Volume 2 – Divine Monkeyshines Valentine’s Day Special
A Melvins Valentine’s Day Special……. Yeah…….. let that sink in for a moment. If you were anything like me you started with a puzzled look that slowly turned into a grin as the gears began turning trying to imagine what this could entail. With Covid changing the game everyone has had to dig into their bag of tricks and hustle like never before. It’s like touring (thanx to social media) has turned into who can be more creative and really tap into what they think their fans are going to want. So, a lot of bands have been going the route of the “Live Stream ”, but how the hell do you get ppl to pay to watch a band play in front of nobody? I mean it’s like sitting in on a rehearsal, it’s cool but you’re not getting the feels or the energy of the crowd and artist interaction.
LIVESTREAM REVIEW – Gatecreeper
Hard to believe that we are rapidly approaching one year of living with the Covid-19 pandemic. What may be the strangest part of this forgotten year is that we as people have begun to normalize the lockdown. Hollywood tentpole films now debut on streaming services, sporting events march on with empty stands and the only way to catch live music is either dusting off concert film of yesteryear or watching a band’s official live stream. Gatecreeper is the latest to try their hand in a bare venue and played a blistering set from Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix.
LIVESTREAM REVIEW: Melvins TV: Volume 1, New Year’s Evil
Weirdness. Riffs. Laughs. Beer. Beats. Smarts. The West Coast. Bass. Art. Singing. Rock N Roll. Grooves. Punk. Screams. Sludge.
These are some of the ingredients that make up just as small part of the majesty that is Melvins.
REVIEW: Seether – “Locked and Live” – Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum – Album Release Show
With live in-person shows a distant memory here in 2020, many bands are turning to technology to satiate their fans’ insatiable appetite for live music. Streaming is how many are seeing their favourite bands or discovering new bands. From the comfort of your living room or TV room, in your jim-jams or favourite comfy clothes, next to the fully stocked kitchen (where water is free), and a clean bathroom, fans get to watch their favourite performers rock out.
Watch Post Malone Cover Nirvana with Travis Barker of Blink-182
As reported previously, Post Malone held a livestream concert last night for charity via his YouTube channel. He performed Nirvana “hits and fan favorites” while raising money for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. Among the musicians backing Post during the performance is Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. Throughout the show, Google will match all donations at up to $5 million, with all proceeds going to the UN Foundation. Not only did Posty have Kurt Cobain widow and co-estate executor Courtney Love’s blessing, Nirvana member Krist Novoselic watched the stream and tweeted his support and delight at the covers. Watch now! Continue reading
Stonecutters Toxic Ruin, and Lich King Tour is Canceled, Live Streams a Concert From Sonic Titan Studios!
Some of our favorite band Stonecutters, Toxic Ruin and Lich King has their tour cut short due to cancellations from the Coronavirus. That sucks since we were looking forward to their show at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, New York. In an ingenious move, the bands live-streamed a concert last night from the vaunted Sonic Titan Studios (Barishi, King Parrot, Graviton, Lich King) in Massachusetts, where fans could donate to the bands to help them overcome the loss of funds so they can return to the road soon. As of this posting, the video has 15,000 views already! Even if you are also impacted by the crisis and cannot donate, please watch the stream and support these awesome bands.Continue reading
