2014: This year started off very slow with no shows to photograph & or review. So what a better way to start off 2014 then at a SOLD OUT show with a group of awesome bands (Stone Sour, Pop Evil, & Stolen Babies) at The Theatre Of The Living Arts. As not only a fan but avid concert goer/photographer, I personally love a SOLD OUT show as it, not only gets the bands more pumped up to play but they put on an even better show seeing that there is a SOLD OUT crowd of fans filling the venue to watch their performances. The show started at around 7:45pm with Opening Band "Stolen Babies".
The Los Angeles-based experimental rock, post-everything unit ”Stolen Babies”, They had a very unique stage set up with a skeleton hanging from a pole on the far left of the stage, & what appeared to be a burning empty keg hanging on a chain, that Dominique Lenore Persi (vocals, accordion, keg drum) used as her drum multiple times throughout their 7 song setlist. They were definitely an original/unique band with their own sound, they were really great & put on a cool upbeat performance as they really only had about 25-30 minutes to perform.
Introduced by 933 WMMR’s own Brent Porche & Sean “The Rabbi” Tyszler was an American rock band that was formed in Grand Rapids, Michigan “Pop Evil" they came onto stage with a BANG from their drummer Chachi Riot, who plays those drums like he was born to as he makes very strange faces while drumming he is one of the band mates you want to watch during their 9 song setlist.
