Since the early 2000s, I've been a fan of the band Trapt especially frontman Chris Brown. I always thought he had a unique sound to his voice not to mention he really is a great songwriter.
Nonpoint rocked the sold out house at The Machine Shop on Saturday night, but before that they warmed up with a free meet and greet and acoustic performance at Strange Daze Tattoo. We all say a huge thank you to Lisa and Ed Strange for inviting us all in to enjoy this experience at their shop.
A couple days off for these two bands resulted in this awesome cover, and one of the best birthdays I've ever had! I was invited to attend this recording at Metro 37 Studios in Rochester Hills a couple years ago, and would like to revisit it with you since Sean Danielsen from Smile Empty Soul is performing acoustically at The Machine Shop tonight!
The Banana Crew had a chance to check out a special acoustic set from Anti-Mortem when they were in town. Check it out as they perform "100% Pure American Rage," "Hate Automatic," and "Truck Stop Special." It was a great acoustic set.
Acoustic music is so important to me, because it is the sure fire way to tell if a band has got actual talent or not. Check out five of my favorite acoustic performances (in no particular order).
As some of are aware Record Store Day was this past Saturday. Bands like Foo fighters MGMT, Rob Zombie, just to name a few are really behind this day and remembering the heritage of music. Opeth is no exception.
The guys from My Darkest Days stopped by to see Maggie this afternoon for a quick acoustic before their sold out show at the Machine Shop tonight. Hope you have your tickets or you are going to miss a great show. If you are going, here is just a little taste before tonight.
