Decibel Magazine Tour w/ Kreator, Obituary, Midnight & Horrendous @ the Neptune, 3/28
~John Rudolph

In its 6th year, the Decibel Magazine Tour prides itself as one of the premier thrash tetal tours. 2017 highlighted 4 super high energy bands, Kreator, Obituary, Midnight, and Horrendous, all dropping new albums. These 4 bands kicked in the doors of The Neptune, slammed the fans’ head against the stage, and left them begging for more. Based on my experience, you will want to get next year’s tickets early and stay for the mayhem.

Details: How jealous should you be that MSTRKFT’s Jesse F. Keeler is in the also awesome Death from Above 1979? So jealous. BTW, photos of Death from Above 1979’s show last year will be up here shortly. Anyway, that’s just one cool thing about the Toronto musician Keeler, who makes up half of MSTRKFT with fellow Canadian Al-P. MSTRKFT celebrated the tenth anniversary of album one, The Looks, in 2016, and do check out last year’s release OPERATOR.

Photos: Jackie Evancho @ the Triple Door

I was fortunate to attend one of Jackie Evancho’s four headlining shows at the Triple Door last week. The Pittsburgh native sang a combination of pop and classical songs while accompanied by Peter Kiesewalter on piano. Best known as a finalist on America’s Got Talent at 10 years old, the now 16 year old had a mature stage presence and shared personal experiences between songs. Evancho, a platinum selling artist, will soon release her sixth full-length studio album, Two Hearts. The evening ended with a well-deserved standing ovation.

Details: Sadly, Yellowcard is no longer. The Jacksonville, Florida rock quartet went out with a bang in 2016 and 2017, performing final shows for fans. Although it’s unfortunate the band has split, it was classy of them to play so many concerts, where longtime fans could appreciate them one last time. Yellowcard named their last album Yellowcard, and with that, payed homage to themselves – and they deserve it. Thank you, Yellowcard!
