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 →

Photos & Review by Frank Piercy  April 10,  2015  During my teen years in the 80’s, I learned about bands like, Motley Crue, W.A.S.P., Ratt, Quiet Riot, Accept and so many more. Every month I was picking up the music mags out at the time, Hit Parader, Circus, Creem, Rip.  One of the things each of these had in common was that like everything they had to sell ads raise money to cover the costs of printing them. Remember ripping the posters out the middle or cutting out the pages to hang on your wall. Well one of the things that sticks out in myRead More →
