Mayhem Rockstar Magazine: Rock Metal Showcase!!!!

                    Hear it. See it. Live it

    If you love music and come on let's face it MOST people do! and live in Columbus, Ohio or in Ohio in general then this is the show you should have been at. There is so many different genre's and so many artist/bands pushing the limits of their genre and it is so exciting! This is one of those shows that had it ALL. Well we got to attend and we were blown away by these talented artist.

Avanti- This band is from Cinninatti, Ohio and we have actually never heard of this band before and this is exactly why we attend concerts that we may listen to 1 artist but not the other. It's always fun and amazing to hear new talent like Avanti. Their passion, their energy and the drive to put on a kick ass performance was absolutely amazing. This artist is one that we will follow and support because you know that something big is coming from these guys! 

       I, Apollo- These guys are another local band here in Ohio and oh my god! We really didn't know how these guys would be in concert because once again we never heard of them. I know, I know! how could we not know about them, I mean come on they are local. We are so glad that we got the chance to see these guys because their performance was absolutely mind blowing. They made the crowd apart of their performance from standing on a table in the middle of the crowd to standing on the bar. This is one of those bands that you know is going to go far just like Avanti because they have the passion and the drive and that is something that makes them who they are and they are definitely going to go far and we can NOT wait to see what else they have in store for the world.  

I, Apollo

Harmless Habit- I noticed from these guys that they have the drive and passion however I don't know what it was I just couldn't get into the music. With that being said I will definitely check them out again because I love their passion and their energy they had during their performance. Can not wait for their next show to see what they have to offer during it and we will continue to pay attention to what you are doing in the future!

     






    A Decade Apart-  So it's no secret that we are die hard fans of  these amazing guys and this is our 3rd time covering this band and I can truly say we are NEVER disappointed. Their stage presence and their performance is out of this world! They truly have so much respect and appreciation for their fans that it's more like family then artist & fans! We are sad that they are taking a break to put out new music but at the same time so excited for Spring so we have more concerts from these guys and of course the rerlease of a new EP. Hurry back soon guys it's only been 4 days and we are already wanting another concert from you! 

    

                       

        Thank you to all of the bands that put on a great show on Saturday Jan. 6th, 2018! We can not wait to see what the rest of 2018 holds for you.

Interview with Liquid6teen

                                                          Liquid6Teen

     On Wednesday November 1st we got the opportunity to interview Liquid6Teen at their rehearsal spot and it was awesome.
 They were very professional and considerate but with a lot of laughs. We asked our questions and in the interviews the artist are allowed and encouraged to add anything that they want and these guys did just that! for a metal band they threw out their other favorite artist from Johnny Cash to Dr. Dre and their favorite movies. We also had to ask the question "how did you get your band name" I mean come on "Liquid6Teen" is a unique name, right? however we didn't get the story behind it but we have thought of the many reasonings behind it. Can you try to guess where they got the name?? We also got to see them practice 4 songs and I can honestly say that the passion they have for what they do is mind blowing and exciting because you know that there is still amazing things to come from these guys. At the end of the interview it took a different turn, as we are Thanking them for taking the time to do this interview with us they also thanked us for our support of the local band scene.
                             

     Supporting the local band scene is always on our priority list because the many artist that you like, listen to and hear on the radio everyday has been on the local band scene. Without these artist you would not have all of the fabulous music that is out there today. We also appreciate these guys for taking their practice time to sit down with us and making this af great experience for us and for supporting this blog. 

     
   

 

Thank you for inviting us to your practice and for sitting down with us for this blog! Also thank you for dealing with my craziness and having you guys hold up the #IHateJakeWeeks lanyard. My boss supports what I do outside of work and We support him in his #IHateJakeWeeks and it is funny when people ask me what the deal is with my lanyard.

99.7 The Blitz Presents Bobaflex 8/25/17

                       99.7 The Blitz Presents Bobaflex!

   On Friday 8/25/17 I had attended a Bobaflex concert at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus Ohio with my friends Lori, Kathy & Jamie for Lori's birthday and as you could imagine we had a blast!! We got the chance to see Liquid6teen and Dread Engine perform as well. So this is going to be a post about the performances of these 3 amazing and unique bands,  Hope Ya'll enjoy!!!

                                                 Liquid 6Teen!

     As my children and I are on the music scene A LOT because with work, my sons track, my daughter's marching band and my youngest daughter just starting Kindergarten music is huge and a very important part in our lives and that's how we spend our free time together. Unfortunately this was a concert without the kids, hey momma needs a night out with just the girls too! 
     So as we get to the venue Liquid 6teen was on and grabbed my attention fairly quickly with their
presence on stage. I have pointed out in earlier blogs that your presence on stage and being able to keep a crowds attention is a A++ because no one wants to go to a boring concert. Well these gentlemen put on a hell of a show and I was extremely impressed. After their set I had the pleasure of meeting the singer Aaron Benner and he was all around a really nice guy and very easy to speak with. 

                 Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me and taking a photo!
                               

                                     Dread Engine!

      
      Dread Engine was the 2nd band that we saw and again the presence on stage and the energy of the band was fantastic. Going to a concert where you can have non stop fun and be entertained the whole time is rare. Out of all the concerts we go to this one will stick out for a very long time, their music is great and their personalities are awesome! got the chance to meet a couple of them at their merch table after their set and they were so kind to chat and take a picture with me and the Birthday girl! Loved the show!

 

Thank you so much for a great show, The chat and the photo's!


                                                         Bobaflex!

                    
       Bobaflex is an amazing band and I absolutely love their music! I love local bands and even more a band that is from my home state of West Virginia! They know what it takes to make a crowd to get up and jump and have an amazing time. This whole show had it all! excitement, fun, energy ect. This is definitely in my top 10 favorite concerts of all time and that is saying a lot. We had a great evening and Bobaflex was on point and loved every minute of it. Keep up the great work, your new album is fantastic and can not wait to hear a lot more from you guys! 
                 

                         Thank you to these 3 amazing bands for a great evening with great friends!
