DROWNING POOL December 9, 2016 Stafford Palace Theater Stafford Springs CT 5 O’Clock on a Friday and the only thing on my mind was that I was going to a Rock Show at Stafford Palace that night. Although it is well over an hour drive from home to the Stafford Palace, it is still my favorite place to see a rock show and one of my favorites to shoot at. Plenty of room to move around (unless your planted at the stage for the whole show), reasonable drink prices and fantastic staff. I have covered shows at a lot of venues about the same sizeRead More →

November 22, 2015 WOW! Once again, I am gracing the streets of Stafford Springs with my presence, out searching for another great night of metal. One I found at the Stafford Palace, where the venerable thrash band Exodus was paying a visit between dates opening for King Diamond. Exodus had the privilege of supporting King Diamond on his North American tour and after a successful three night stand in New York City they had an off night on that tour before hitting Boston. Not ones to sit around and do nothing between shows, they stopped in the quiet corner of Connecticut. It was time forRead More →

November 5, 2015 Stafford Springs, once again I walked your streets to stand in a line for another show at what is fast becoming Connecticut’s best destination for Metal Shows, The Stafford Palace Theater, that night it was for the killer combination of The Butcher Babies opening for the Swedish band Amaranthe. Standing in line, I was listening to people talk about both bands, fans from all over Connecticut and Massachussetts waiting to hear either the triple threat vocals of Amaranthe or one of the hardest working bands on the circuit right now, the Butcher Babies. Either way everyone was in for a treat thisRead More →

The Stafford Palace Theater September 12, 2015 Stafford Springs in Northeastern Connecticut has this gem of a place called The Stafford Palace, a former Vaudeville theater with a capacity of about 400 people, with a fantastic and friendly staff who for the last three years now has been bringing some really great shows to this quiet town. A quiet that was shattered Saturday night by the arrival of three bands, Mindmaze from PA, Armored Saint from L.A. and from across the Atlantic Ocean, one of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal longest running and most underrated bands (at least here in the U.S.) Saxon.Read More →

House of Lords The Stafford Palace Theatre Stafford Springs, Connecticut September 4, 2015 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc House of Lords has been around since the later part of the 1980’s rock era. With ten studio albums under their belt, ranging between 1988 through 2015, they are still out there touring and carrying on the tradition of the 80’s era rock we still enjoy. House of Lords played an amazing performance at The Stafford Palace Theater in Stafford Springs, Connecticut September 4th, 2015. It was a homecoming of sorts, as James Christian and his counterparts originate from Connecticut. The Stafford Palace Theater is aRead More →
