QUEENSRYCHE Mohegan Sun Casino – Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut August 12, 2016 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc If you were at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut on August 12th, you were in the presence of another extrodinary Queensryche performance. There is a reason why Queensryche is still out there going strong… Simply put, they continue to sound amazing throughout the years. Queensryche played the Mohegan Sun Wolf’s Den among a crowd of Queensryche faithfuls and lucky casino guests who hit the jackpot of bands that night, whilst listening to the free show at the center of the casino. Mohegan Sun guests that evening hit the jackpotRead More →

TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION August 4, 2016 Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut I have to say, I was surprised to find out Texas Hippie Coalition were playing the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun. Not that I should have been considering they have had the likes of Killswitch Engage, Ace Frehley, Hellyeah and not to mention Buckcherry play there in the past. I have been lucky enough to see THC a number of times over the last couple of years here in Connecticut and was excited to hear some Red Dirt Metal in the Nutmeg state once again. Alright you’re saying to yourself “Red Dirt Metal?”Read More →

AUTOGRAPH March 26, 2016 Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Uncasville, CT Back in 1984, I was a young buck of 16. My tastes in music just starting to harden in my head. I didn’t have much back then, was living in the middle of nowhere Southern Illinois where the cable company didn’t even have Mtv yet. I did have a radio though and when I could, the radio station of choice was a long way off in St. Louis, a rock station with the call letters of KSHE. That is when I first heard of a band called Autograph, and just like so many other kidsRead More →

GABBIE RAE April 7, 2016 Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut If you didn’t know it already, I am a fan of 80s Metal and Rock. At any given time, my playlist will be blaring out songs by Girlschool, Rock Goddess, Def Leppard, Aldo Nova, Autograph, Kix, Anthrax or WASP just to name a few. Social media has brought a lot of us together to discuss the bands of this era, share news of the bands or just be able to read reviews of shows and see pictures from those shows. Over the last year and half or so in a lot of those circlesRead More →

WINGER March 18, 2016 Mohegan Sun Wolf Den Uncasville, CT Once again I am transported back into the 80s, sitting in the New Haven Coliseum watching my favorite shock rocker, Alice Cooper, watching and listening to one of the best backing bands in Rock n Roll back in 1987. Kane Roberts on Guitar, Paul Taylor on keyboards, Ken K. Mary on Drums and a ball of energy who garnered just as much of my attention as Alice and Kane, a bassist who was shortly going to start creating a name for himself with the band I was at Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den on a fridayRead More →

VIXEN February 27, 2016 Mohegan Sun Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut There is nothing better then going to the Mohegan Sun with money in your pocket and the anticipation of spending the evening with beautiful women and great live music in the Wolf Den. One of my favorite bands from the 80s was playing the Wolf Den once again, Vixen was back in town. The evening started off with a capacity crowd in the Den and people still waiting and hoping to get in and join the party as the vivacious women of Vixen walked unto the stage. The crowd erupted into a roar as theyRead More →

Photos & Review by Frank Piercy July 3, 2015 Friday afternoon, I am sitting at home wondering what to do. Heart is playing at Foxwoods, Broadside is playing in Hamden, Living Colour is playing at the Wolf Den. Decisions, decisions, decisions… I went with the no brainer, go see a band you haven’t seen live before, at a venue that is free, if I get there in time.  Leaving my house at five with a drive of just over an hour there was no guarantee I would get into the Den. The drive down to Uncasville was unbelievably quiet and smooth. I should’ve known something wasRead More →
