Spinner's Pinball/Future Sound - June 15, 2019
Spinner’s Pinball/Future Sound – June 15, 2019
So if you haven’t been to Spinners Pinball Arcade yet.. What are you waiting for? Pinball, vintage video games, beer… What more could you want?
Spinners is $10 per person or $30 for family – unlimited play! I have spent so much time in here since I first visited for 106.9’s “Pinball Wizard” contest to win Who tickets.

Voodoo Love Gods/Atomic Mosquitos/The Xiles @ Sky Stage - June 15, 2019
Voodoo Love Gods/Atomic Mosquitos/The Xiles @ Sky Stage – June 15, 2019
Ah, here we are at the amazing Sky Stage once again. Seeing how the venue has become such a spot over the past few years in Frederick has been so cool. As I walk in I’m greeted by some old friends…past issue of Subversive Zine. The remnants are a reminder of where all of this underground music and rad art really started to evolve again in my opinion. Subversive Zine met its end recently (RIP) but…

The Leaden Winter/Marshal Fuzz @ Tsunami (Annapolis, MD) – June 9, 2019
Tsunami is a rad spot in Annapolis – A sushi restaurant that hosts a good bit of late night music. The space itself has an amazing vibe and was hopping with a great crowd, even on a Sunday night.
The Leaden Winter(Harrisonburg, VA)- Heavy stoner/bluesy rock (in various tempos) that’s just jammy enough and not too technical.…

Collective Soul/Gin Blossoms @ Sands Bethlehem Event Center (PA) – June 7, 2019
Gin Blossoms – Robin Wilson’s voice sounds just as great as it did in the 90s. The band was tight with great sound, especially the open and airy guitar tone that shined on their deep songs full of heart. “|Here Again” was beautifully sung into the heartfelt “a million kisses” lyric. Wilson enaged the crowd by asking them to stand…

Silent Old Mtns. @ Sky Stage - June 1, 2019
Silent Old Mtns. @ Sky Stage – June 1, 2019
Silent Old Mtns. – Silent Old Mtns. are indie, a tinge folky and always provide a rocking cathartic journey full of emotional and lyrical depth in each song. Reverby guitars and vocals add fields of sound as the bass and drums punch and lead. Songs can often be deceiving as slow ballady verses evolve into mega rock explosions.
Sing…
