JACK RUSSELL’S GREAT WHITE The Chance Theater Poughkeepsie NY May 12 2017 One of the most distinctive voices in the 80’s was the lead singer of Great White, Jack Russell. I was finally going to get to see him perform a full set, after seeing him perform a couple of times at the M3 Rock Festival over the last couple of years and a failed attempt at a fiasco of a show in Maine a few years ago. The one thing about seeing shows at The Chance Theater is that they do tend to throw a lot of local talent on the stage for theirRead More →

MUSHROOMHEAD The Webster Theater’s Underground Hartford, Connecticut May 2, 2017 After immersing myself in a 80s metal-fest, bands such as, Autograph, Vain, Vixen, Kix and so many more, I had to change it up a bit. There is no better way than to do then with some really Heavy Metal from the folks known as Mushroomhead. Anyone who has been following my stuff for awhile now, knows how I feel about bands with a theatrical feel to them and this show was something I was looking forward to. Not only for Mushroomhead, but another band I have had on my radar for a year orRead More →

VIXEN Mohegan Sun Casino Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut April 27, 2017 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc It had been a long time since I’ve seen Vixen live. The year was 1989 when I first saw Vixen when they opened up for Ozzy along with White Lion at the Centrum (now DCU Center) in Worcester, Massachusetts. Talk about a memorable show with that line-up. Back in the days when a ticket for a show like that went for around $20. Those were the days. Vixen has still remained a constant in my regular musical playlist to this day. Vixen was out on the road again and thisRead More →

KIX The Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun Casino Uncasville, Connecticut April 10, 2017 April means many things to me. First is April Fool’s Day, or as I know it, my wedding anniversary. Then a few days later my birthday and then a few days after that my oldest son’s birthday and that is just the first 10 days. We wont talk about the other birthdays or even Easter, Lord forbid we talk about the big thing at the end of the month – M3. What we will discuss is the fact over the last few years, KIX has come to the Wolf Den at MoheganRead More →

Killthrax Tour: Jasta, The Devil Wears Prada, Anthrax, Killswitch Engage The Toyota Oakdale Theatre Wallingford, Connecticut April 4, 2017 Lately it seems that the shows I am catching are no where close to home. That finally changed this night. I am catching the Killthrax Tour at the Oakdale in Wallingford, a mere 30 minutes from home. I can actually hit home real quick before heading out. Due to car trouble I arrived too late to shoot Jasta, but in time to catch his set. Jamey Jasta is best known for fronting some local boys ya all may know about, Hatebreed. Not one to rest onRead More →

John 5 and The Creatures Tupelo Music Hall Derry, New Hampshire April 6, 2017 Let me start this off my telling you, if you are going to see his show expecting it to be a rehash of a Rob Zombie/Marilyn Manson show, full of nothing but John 5 doing their tunes, you’re in for a butt load of disappointment. John 5 will be in his trademark make up, that’s about it. This show is for the die hard guitar fan and very far from being a disappointment. Joining John for this small tour is Ian Ross on bass and Rodger Carter on drums. John 5Read More →

POISON Mohegan Sun Casino Arena Uncasville, Connecticut April 13, 2017 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc It was nothing but a good time at Mohegan Sun Arena on April 12th when Poison took the stage for their third show as part of the 2017 reunion tour, along with Tesla and Def Leppard. It was clear that there the crowd was loaded with Poison fans to watch this long awaited reunion. Fans had donned their Poison concert shirts, new ones and the worn and faded ones from concerts of years past. 2017 should be noted as the year that Poison reunited with the all original lineRead More →

John Corabi The Cannery Music Hall Southbridge, Massachusetts March 26, 2017 Just over the Connecticut border into Massachusetts is a nice little music venue named The Cannery Music Hall. A cozy little hall with a terrific staff and great lighting, I seem to be spending a lot of my lately north of the border, but it has been well worth it and this evening was no different. John Corabi is the vocalist for the group “The Dead Daisies”, which also includes other heavy hitters such as David Lowy, Doug Aldrich, Marco Mendoza, and Brian Tichy. Unfortunately, John is most known for his time as theRead More →

Blood Lust Death Tour 2017 | Dope and Combichrist With Davey Suicide and September Mourning The Palladium Worcester MA March 24, 2017 Once again I travel north of the border and venture into the city of Worcester, this time to catch Dope and Combichrist at The Palladium. The Palladium actually has two stages, the main stage, which is apparently also known as the downstairs and then a smaller known as the upstairs. Tonight’s show was being in the upstairs. Much like the Webster in Hartford with its Underground or the The Chance with its Loft, these are smaller areas that can accommodate only a fewRead More →
