Waterparks @ Jannus Live – St. Petersburg, FL
Upon entering the outdoor venue of Jannus Live for a last-minute sold-out date of Waterparks’ The Property Tour, it was hard not to be overwhelmed by the color red. Everywhere you turned, there was a fan with dyed red hair. Or a fan sporting a red tour hoodie (even though it was 88 degrees outside). […]

Cimafunk @ The Roxy – Los Angeles, Ca
Only eight months have passed since Cimafunk’s last performance in Los Angeles, but it has felt like an eternity for his fans.

The Heavy @ The Troubadour – Los Angeles, Ca
Leaving their gloomy London for a minute, The Heavy embarked on a world tour in late March to promote their new album Amen released in April.
