review and pix: Emmy Susani Outdoor shows are among my favorites to shoot and tonight at Stage AE, on the North Shore in Pittsburgh, Papa Roach is going to rock the place. Bad Wolves kicks the night off and let me tell you these guys blew my mind. […]
When Slipknot created their very own festival in 2012 with the likes of Deftones, Lamb of God, and Cannibal Corpse there was a ton of people who wish they could afford the trip to Iowa to see the inaugural bash. The tradition continued and grew to be held […]
It’s always a massive treat to see Iron Maiden and when they bring their greatest hits Legacy of the Beast Tour to town it is a sure bet for a sellout. That was certainly the case Saturday night August 17, 2019, at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh as […]
Review by Scott Tady posted in Beaver County Times, photos by AWelding photo here and Beaver County Times You easily could have forgotten how many hit songs Jeff Lynne’s ELO achieved, until the band starts reeling them off one after the other after the other. A nearly sold-out […]
review and pix: David Mondine In celebration of an album that essentially changed the entire metalcore scene, August Burns Red (ABR) went out on tour for “Constellations” 10th birthday! In doing so, they also had the chance to experience one of the newest venues in the Pittsburgh area, […]
Sometimes you just feel the presence of genius. Some people hate that label as it can be used all too frequently. But seeing the ridiculously prolific Jack White play with The Raconteurs, Brendan Benson (vocals, guitar), Jack Lawrence (bass guitar), and Patrick Keeler (drums), would quell most peoples doubts. It’s not like White […]
The upward trajectory for Shawn Mendes has been like a rocket into space. It seems just a few short years ago that I met the young man from Canada backstage of PPG when he was an opening act. But, even in this short amount of time, he has […]
Review and photos: Dave Mondine additional photos Taneal Woodmancy Veil of Maya have been quite busy lately it seems from headlining tours, supporting acts, and even writing a new album. But Pittsburgh has been beyond lucky to see the ever so thriving band play at Mr. Smalls not […]
A Clutch concert could easily come with a guarantee. You will see great bands, you will have a great time, and you will never see the same show twice. Such are the facts of a Clutch show as witnessed many times and most recently at Stage AE Pittsburgh. […]
Unforgettable. That about sums it up. For anyone who had doubts about Adam Lambert’s abilities and attended the show, they had those doubts quashed thoroughly. The key is that Lambert does not attempt to be Freddie Mercury but to honor his legacy. He puts just the right about […]
It’s hard to believe that R and B act Khalid was playing his first show in a coffee shop just a few years ago. Now he is headlining arenas and making crowds sing every single word to his tunes. Khalid Donnel Robinson already has a quadruple-platinum album, several […]
Genres are funny things, Sometimes we have a hard time putting things into a category and other times we struggle, regardless, we as humans have some sort of need to put things into their proper place to describe them. Three bands that have been placed in many different […]
written by Scott Tady for The Beaver County Times https://www.timesonline.com/entertainmentlife/20190729/john-mayer-works-his-magic-in-pittsburgh Most concert artists have two kinds of songs, John Mayer theorized Sunday in Pittsburgh. They’ve got songs that people pay good money to hear, and then there’s that other bunch of deeper, lesser-known songs that casual concertgoers might […]
One of the first qualities that stand out about seeing Soccer Mommy (Sophie Allison) play live is her sweet and genuine nature. What stands out next from the 22 year old from Nashville is her exceptional talent and the energy the tight band brings, who started backing her […]
Written By: George Archibald As many packed into Jergel’s Rhythm Grille for the Wisconsin Death Trip 20th Anniversary Tour, these crowd goers were in for a night of mystery and wonder. The topic of the night would be; who is the mystery vocalist standing in for the late […]
Review & photos Abigail McNatt © 2019 After their release of Wide Awake in 2016, Parachute came back with their self-titled album in 2019. In order to celebrate, they went off on their Young Tour across the country. I had the opportunity to catch their Pittsburgh stop, the second to last on […]
The Who have been doing their thing since 1964 but their figureheads, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey showed no signs of wear and tear last night in Pittsburgh. Backed by a 48 piece orchestra conducted by Keith Levenson along with Simon Townshend (Pete’s brother) on guitar, Zak Starkey […]
by Sophie Burkholder On a weekend of a series of some of the first intensely humid thunderstorms of the summer, the Benedum Center hosted the soulful indie rock of New York trio BAILEN and Irish singer-songwriter Hozier. After entering the theater under the yellow glow of the marquee, […]
On the Suspending Gravity Tour, Marianas Trench brought along, DJ George Thoms, as well as New Dialogue. DJ George Thoms, played while everyone was coming in. Thoms is a DJ and producer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
words and pix: Ed Thompson © 2019 Let me just start by saying this. Adeltias Way will be as big as Greta Van Fleet is in two to three years. The vocals and songwriting ability that this band has can allow this band to skyrocket with success in […]
It must be the muck deep in the Mississippi River that makes for such wonderful sludge metal. Kirk Windstein of Crowbar and Pepper Keenan both live in NOLA and maybe they dip their guitars in the magic of that place to get such murky sounds or they have […]
The impact of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting was felt not only here in our city but nationwide. Since that horrible day, there have been a few events put together trying to find ways to help. WYEP General Manager Abby Goldstein also felt like she needed to […]
“Turn the lights off, turn the lights off Your daddy better lock up his girl Say a prayer boy, call on the cross Cause you ain’t got no more when the music comes on” Every Time I Die will never be described as a “weak” band. Out on […]
Underoath has officially made a full-blown comeback with a new album which dropped earlier this year, and a tour to celebrate the fresh sounding revival of Underoath. As their latest album, Erase Me, explores more of what they could do as musicians rather than just an everyday band, […]
They have been described as ‘the ultimate stoner band’, but that may not be giving the San Jose trio enough credit. Evolving from the band Asbestosdeath, Sleep started to make its mark around 1991. The band established by vocalist/bassist Al Cisneros and has traded a few members over the […]
Perhaps you have heard of Cannibal Corpse, the death metal band that made it into a Jim Carrey movie, has survived 30+ years in the biz, and has lyrics that are mostly well, indiscernible? Yea, those guys. Well, there is a reason an extreme band with those sometimes […]
Currently on his “Black Labyrinth Tour”, Jonathan Davis, well-known as the lead singer of Korn, graced Pittsburgh with his solo act last night at Mr. Smalls in Millvale (Pittsburgh). The show is basically a culmination of an 11-year odyssey of writing on his own during his rare […]
The excitement was palpable. A 14-year wait tends to do that. Backstage at catering, Mike Ness and the rest of Social Distortion are hanging out to see the show since they played nearby Greensburg, PA the evening before. Editor in Chief of Rolling Stone, David Fricke, is prowling […]
Last night’s performance in Pittsburgh was no exception, Elton was enigmatic, personal, and vibrant, very impressive for a man who has had such a long illustrious career. Opening with “Benny and the Jets” in a minimalistic fashion that focused on Elton and his piano, the music man got the crowd singing along from the first note.
Words and pix: Dave Mondine © 2018 Round two of the “Reverence World Tour,” Byron Bay’s own Parkway Drive had Pittsburgh slated for yet another visit to Stage AE, and this time with an even bigger lineup than before. This tour, which was announced two weeks after their last […]
