Wolf Alice at The Tralf (4/6/16)

April 8, 2016

Coming from their European tour, Wolf Alice returned to  The Tralf on Wednesday night for the US portion of their tour for in support of their debut  album “My Love Is Cool.” The band gained a huge following in Europe after the release of their full LP, leading to the adding 2 extra nights in London. While not as big in the US, they had no trouble filling up the venue, bringing just as much energy to the crowd as they have been. Supporting them was fellow UK band, Slaves, who despite being the opening act still had quite a few fans throughout the crowd who were singing along to their set. Wolf Alice played through songs off their first album, as well as ones from earlier EPs like “Moaning Lisa Smile,” which brought the band up in the UK before America followed suit. SLAVES Alice Wolf

EdgeFest 2015 at the Outer Harbor (9/12/15)

September 14, 2015

In spite of Saturday’s less than ideal weather, 103.3’s annual Edgefest was hugely successful. Thousands turned out on a dreary day to see the likes of Rise Against, Coheed & Cambria, Modest Mouse, and many other groups as the rain ceased to let up. Local band Made Violent has created quite a fan base over the last couple years and put on a show that seems to ensure its continued success. The trio, who leave for a two week tour of the UK today, managed to set the tone of the show and the other acts followed suit. Edgefest was a show not to be missed, downpour and all.
