Re: A shout out to local talent

This was the headliner. I see a little bit of video from the show plus pictures on their site. Hard rock and groove metal sound. To my ear, they sound a little harder edged than the other more well known Vacaville, CA band, Papa Roach. Their bassist has a godlike stack of bass speakers. We know these guys through our guitarist who used to live in the bay area. Hope to be seeing more of these guys; will try to facilitate them booking closer to me.

This is an Oakland, CA band. They bill themselves as hard rock/alt metal. I don't know too much about them. They did not stick around after they played so I did not get to interact with them. The bass used bass distortion and seemed to fill the role of rhythm guitarist. They are female fronted but in some older web posts it appears that was not always the case. They actually did a heavy'd up cover of a Journey song, Separate Ways.

Obligatory shameless plug. This who I play for. Hard rock/metal with a little Latin flavor. We opened the show and this was the debut of our electric set. We hit all our marks; did very well. There are pictures up now. Video was taken and is forthcoming. We ended with a tough-to-follow, legit cover of Iron Maiden - Revelations.
