Poison penned their iconic song,Read More →

ADAM ANT Fox Theater Foxwoods Resort Casino, Mashantucket, Connecticut September 21, 2019 Photos & Review by Frank Piercy On this night I was at the Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino. The agenda… to catch up with an up and coming band, the Glam Skanks and most importantly, to photograph and review the latest Adam Ant tour performing in the U.S.A. This time around Adam Ant would be performing the entire Friend or Foe album, his first true solo album that was released in 1982. Personally, I got this album after watching the video for the first single off of this album, a catchy lil dittyRead More →

GLAM SKANKS Opening for Adam Ant Fox Theater Foxwoods Resort Casino Mashantucket, Connecticut September 21, 2019 Photos & Review by Frank Piercy September 21st for the last 12 years, is usually a very somber and reflective day for me. Not one I normally go out and do happy things on, but sit in the dark with a bottle of Southern Comfort and a couple packs of smokes and wallow in self pity and cry. Not this year. This year, one of my favorite younger bands, the Glam Skanks were coming back to New England, and not just New England but specifically Connecticut with one of myRead More →

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS WITH CAMP HOWARD Fox Theater at Foxwoods Casino Resort Mashantucket, Connecticut September 8, 2019 Photos & Review by Frank Piercy It had been quite a week, with the Demons and Wizards tour on the 4th and then Stone Temple Pilots on the 8th. Something I am still recovering from it. This is the third time I have ever been to the Fox Theater. I brought my son here once back 2002 I think, for an Alice Cooper show. He still talks about that show to this day and I have taken him to A LOT since then. It is a nice theaterRead More →

SQUEEZE Songbook Tour The Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino Mashantucket, Connecticut August 23, 2019 Photos & Review by Frank Piercy There are many places I have been to in Connecticut to see a concert, from The Klein in Bridgeport, to palaces in Stamford, Waterbury and Stafford Springs and this is one place I have enjoyed but have only been to once. Comparable in size to the places I just mentioned, seating is just under 2,000. As I set up for the evening at the soundboard, I watched a very eclectic crowd filling up the theater. Young kids, (well younger than me at least) toRead More →

EVANESCENCE Foxwoods Grand Theater Mashantucket, Connecticut November 3, 2017 It’s hard to believe that I have only been to Foxwoods two or three times over the years to see a concert, especially since I have started doing the concert photography and show review thing. A band originally out of Little Rock Arkansas made me make the 90 minute drive to a casino I haven’t been to in a couple of years. Evanescence is on tour with an orchestra backing them up. This was a must see. The night started with the orchestra playing instead of the usual opening band. They played six songs to aRead More →
