Halestorm - 2012 tour

2012 may have been the year of Halestorm, as their headline tour pulled into a sold-out Majestic Theatre in Madison, Wisc. on Dec. 5. Their sophomore release, “The Strange Case of…,” debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Hard Rock Albums” chart earlier this year, while its first single “Love Bites (So Do I)” followed suit atop the Active Rock airplay ranking. By mid-set, Halestorm would add their first Grammy nomination for best metal song, “Love Bites,” to a long list of highlights.

The animated Metalocalypse series is slowly transforming into real-life scenario. Though Dethklok haven’t quite attained a billion fans as depicted in the series, the Thursday night crowd at The Rave suggested their cult following were out in full-force. Joining them were All That Remains and The Black Dahlia Murder. It was a major disappointment that Machine Head had to pull off the tour a few days ago, due to an emergency hernia surgery for vocalist Robb Flynn.

Jack White - 2012 Virgin Mobile Free Fest

The 2012 Virgin Mobile FreeFest took place on Saturday, Oct. 6 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md. Roughly 30,000 tickets were “freed-out” within minutes of availability. At least that many packed into the Pavilion grounds, under sunny skies, to catch artists that varied from Alabama Shakes to ZZ Top, while Jack White and Skrillex headlined the two main stages. A third stage was also positioned up the hill to provide a “Dance Forest” with DJs mixing original beats throughout the festival.

Business mogul and Virgin Group CEO Richard Branson created FreeFest as a way to give back to the community while drawing attention to youth homelessness. The music festival sponsors The RE*Generation, an organization to assist homeless youth, via donations and awareness.

The Fest is also about the music and having a good time, and there was no shortage of either on Saturday. The music flowed non-stop from noon until just shy of 11 p.m. Most artists were afforded at least a full hour for their setlist, nearly double what most festivals allow outside of the headliners.

Considering that most in attendance were being introduced to MNDR for the first time, she seemed to do a great job keeping their attention and moved the crowd with tight, somewhat dark, hooks and her ethereal voice. Sporting a sundress that was speckled with miniature skulls, she danced about the stage seemingly as transfixed by the music as the crowd.

A cool and breezy evening provided the perfect setting for a few thousand fans who were more than happy step back in time, if only for a night. That’s not to say that Duran Duran necessarily joined them–touring in support of their 2010 release, “All You Need is Now.” They provided a mix of fresh hits coupled with a handful of classics that catapulted them to the top of the charts throughout the 80s.

The Dirty Heads and Matisyahu rolled into The Norva on August 20, 2012, sharing a co-headline bill. Fans packed into the sold-out venue in Norfolk, Va. and welcomed both artists with raised arms and plenty of love.

Nearly four years after the release of their debut, “Any Port in a Storm,” The Dirty Heads finally dropped their follow-up, “Cabin by the Sea,” in June. The indie release features the same reggae-influenced fusion of surf-rock and rap that made their first effort so endearing.

A massive disco ball swung gently in the wind above Coyne, while a number of pre-selected fans dressed as The Wizard of Oz characters danced at the extreme edges. Smoke drifted from the stage, and the crowd. Confetti, streamers and a smoking megaphone all appeared within the first five minutes of the show.

Garbage - 2012 Pondamonium

Garbage walked away from music over seven years ago, smack dab in the middle of their 2005 tour. Road burn-out coupled with a loathing of their record label simply pushed them over the edge. A creative rumbling brought them back together in late 2010 for a self-produced, independent effort. The result was the same Garbage feel with a modernized, electronic vibe called “Not Your Kind of People” that was released in May 2012. Needless to say, their true-to-the-core Madison fan-base were more than ready for Garbage to hit the stage at Pondamonium.

The second annual Rock USA music festival in Oshkosh, Wisc. got off to a fantastic start on Thursday, July 12, 2012. Considering the inaugural event was kicked off with headliners Daughtry, Journey and KISS last year, this year’s festival had some big shoes to fill. Shinedown, Motley Crue and Kid Rock looked to take Rock USA to higher grounds over the next three days. Given the sell-out of VIP seats in record time, one can conclude that Rock USA is moving in the right direction. Papa Roach and Skillet complemented Shinedown’s opening day lineup, and all three bands came in ready to rock.
