BASHFEST 2018
BashFest, which includes Bonzo Bash and Randy Rhoads Remembered, is a three-day celebration hosted every year, by drummer Brian Tichy. These shows coincide with NAMM and bring together an array of rock musicians, to celebrate the life of music and two legendary icons, John Bonham and Randy Rhoads.
BONZO BASH
Bonzo Bash takes place the second-night and is in celebration of Led Zeppelin's one and only, John Bonham. Bonzo Bash was the first to take place and started only as a small gathering, which later led to being, a star-studded event.

RANDY RHOADS REMEMBERED
Randy Rhoads Remembered happens the third and final night of BashFest and is a celebration of the legendary guitarist, Randy Rhoads. Many show up in attendance, from musicians to fans, to his siblings themselves, Kelle and Kathy Rhoads. It's a wonderful night full of remembrance and good music... both nights are actually. So, if you're ever in or around Santa Ana during these shows, definitely check them out.

Walk The Moon @ Kimmel
Hey, hello, hi,
So, yesterday I got to see Walk The Moon perform at Jimmy Kimmel! It's even more awesome because these outdoor concerts not only host so many of yours and my favourite artists like Walk The Moon, but they're also free thanks to 1iota (well besides possibly paying for parking, though that's only $2 so WOO!). They performed 5 total songs including hits like 'One Foot' and the oh so loved 'Anna Sun'.
Firstly, I kinda forgot how great they are live... not only do they have amazing energy, but they all look so genuinely happy and excited to be on stage performing. It's not all the time you get to experience that kind of energy and it was also nice to see the crowd moving along to the music. The crowds at these gigs don't always react like you'd hope, so it was really great seeing everyone dancing and singing along.
So, Walk The Moon are heading out on their < press restart tour > in January as you probably know. Which show are you attending?
If you aren't aware of their tour, check out the dates below and get on it. Don't miss out on this party!
Check out some of the songs they performed.

RIP Mötley Crüe
Happy New Year 2016!
As the end of the year was coming up, very quickly, I had to think about the Concerts I’ve attended and enjoyed in 2015.
I had thought that Kroq Acoustic were the last shows? After careful consideration though, Motley Crue sparked a thought! All the hype of Motley Crue and RIP, The End is Near?, Well why not? I did miss The Struts at the Kroq Acoustic Show due to traffic in L.A and they are the Opening Act for Motley Crue.
Now time for the Opening Act, The Struts, they were very energized and full of excitement. Frontman Luke brought back a nostalgic look to his wardrobe to only compliment his performance. I don’t want to give away the amazing sounds they are moving to bring back but this is a group that you must follow as they take it to the top. Luke, Jed, Geth & Adam are definitely guys to follow this year. The Struts announced the release of their Music on CD so look out for it in March of 2016.
We look forward to hearing more from these Lads (Did I mention their from the UK)? Go have a look and follow them, you won’t be sorry.
As I glanced around at the fans I couldn’t help but notice the dress vibe as it had an 80’s theme and thought , “I know these are long time fans of Motley Crue and they brought along their Families". The Concession Stands were selling plastic cups for $3.00 and I thought that was a great way to have everyone walk away with memories of the night.
34 years ago, there were 4 visibly drunk Mother F***** walking the streets of Hollywood, was Vince Neils opening statement. Vince Neil got the crowd on their feet screaming.
Motley Crue came out singing with Pyrotechnics. The Fire could be felt throughout the arena and the energy was Great. Vince, Nikki, Mick and Tom all performed with passion and fun. Tommy Lee had a drum roller coster that went far out on to the floor and turned as it moved. They played all of the favorites, Girls,Girls,Girls, Wild Side, Primal Scream, S.O.S, Smoking in The Boys Room, Looks That Kill, Live Wire and if they didn’t play your Favorite song, Don’t go away Mad (Just Go Away) (hahaha, get what I did there) etc….Personal stories were told giving an inside look at Motley Crue and how the band came together. In the end the 1 and only encore was Home Sweet Home and they performed it on a middle stage on the floor.

Also in the row in front of us was a 7 year old boy, and his family, he had a smile ear to ear as he watched the show and his mom dance to the music.

Our Future is in your hands so keep the Music alive and Cathy, keep in touch if you can, I would love to make sure (B, for short) stays Happy and Healthy. Thank You for allowing us to take the photos and we wish you a Happy 2016!
Thank You goes out to Motley Crue & The Struts, It was an honor to watch all of the memories being created on December 30, 2015.
