KISS - SNHU ARENA - 2/1/2020

KISS – SNHU ARENA

          KISS rolled into Manchester, New Hampshire on Saturday, February 1, 2020. They brought their ‘END OF THE ROAD WORLD TOUR’ to the SNHU Arena. David Lee Roth kicked (literally) things off for the night. He is best known as the lead singer for the famed band Van Halen. He played mostly Van Halen songs such as Jump and Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love, with a few covers mixed in as well. KISS then came on and pumped out an impressive 18 song set, plus an encore. From Detroit Rock City, to I was Made For Lovin’ You and Rock And Roll All Nite, they truly put on an explosive performance. Here are the full set lists for KISS and David Lee Roth!

October in Review

October in Review

As warm weather fades away, Dance Your Face Off! has been seeking shelter at the indoor shows around New England. The month of October gave Massachusetts a solid variety of music offerings, spread out to venues all across the state. We covered a reggae rock show headlined by Passafire, Chadwick Stokes (of Dispatch and State Radio) who brought a mix of classic and new songs to his show, and a rock/metal event headlined by Clutch.

Album Impressions: Tremonti – Cauterize

Album Impressions: Tremonti – Cauterize

Mark Tremonti. It’s hard for me to come up with an original, praiseful comment about this guy. With a track record including millions upon millions of albums sold, a Grammy for Best Rock Song in 2001, and being the lead guitarist of one of the most idolized rock bands in the world, Alter Bridge (not to mention my favorite band), Tremonti steps into the rock ring for round two of his solo project with ‘Cauterize,’ the follow up to 2012’s debut ‘All I Was.’

As many of you know, Tremonti was the driving force behind Creed, a popular band in the 90’s and early 2000’s as lead guitarist and songwriter. I don’t think I need to touch on Creed’s success as they’re a multi-platinum and even diamond artist, but once they’re downfall came after numerous issues with lead singer Scott Stapp, Tremonti and Creed bandmates Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall went on to form the astounding Alter Bridge with singer Myles Kennedy (yeah, that guy who made Marky Mark look bad in the end of the movie Rock Star by coming out of the crowd to sing).
