I caught up with The Rumours in Pryor, Oklahoma after they opened the Saturday festivities for Rocklahoma. The band kicked off Saturday at 11:00 A.M., but the GA gate wasn’t opened until 11:10. I still caught enough of The Rumours 30 minute set to be blown away. They enticed a crowd eager to stake their […]
The Canadian Geeks are back this week with another rock filled episode. This time they discuss one of the recent travels of Co-Host Rich “The Meister Dillon”, specifically this years Rocklahoma Festival. Wallygator and the Meister discuss horrible beer, storm warning sirens, evacuations and tornadoes. In between all of that, they get to playing some […]
So, 2017 marked my second straight visitation to Rocklahoma Festival in Pryor, Oklahoma. And for the second straight year, it was an exceptionally good time. Again, as last year, I came away with a few “new” bands that I’m looking forward to checking out. As with last year, I drank a lot of beer. Not […]
NiteRain. Sounds cool, eh? And no we’re not talking about “Mr. Brownstone” here, it’s not “Night Train”. A popular misconception for those uneducated. This Norwegian outfit originally entered my crosshairs with their 2013 issue Crossfire. A tasty hard rock helping, dripping with just the right amount of sleaze. But unlike that hooker on the corner, […]
Electro_Nomicon what a phenomenon! First of all, I thoroughly enjoyed Friday’s lineup of bands on the Retrospect Records Stage at Rocklahoma 2016. And so, I decided to start off the Saturday in the same place. When I say start off, I mean inside the actual festival grounds. I’d already visited the Axis Stage which fires up […]
Having been introduced to Diamond Lane thanks to a past episode of the Decibel Geek Podcast, they were a clear target for me at Rocklahoma. Podcast hosts Chris and Aaron spun “The Enemy” from the Terrorizer CD during the second edition of the Fresh Blood Podcasts (Fresh Blood Vol. 2-Episode #150) . That sent me on a […]
A band’s name is a very important part of the experience for me as is the logo for their moniker. Sometimes these things just don’t gel. As a result, it can leave a bad taste in your mouth before you’ve even swallowed the meal. I’ve heard some fantastic bands with awful names and vice versa. […]
My first attendance (certainly not my last) at Rocklahoma Festival in Oklahoma USA brought about tons and tons of new band discoveries. I was constantly blown away again and again with the string of acts appearing on the Retrospect Records side stage at the festival. While I didn’t see every band on that stage, I […]
Several years ago I made the bold decision that I wanted to experience a festival of the highest order. Believing that we here in North America just don’t know how to put on a tip-top rock festival the way they do in Europe, I immediately discounted any North American Festivals and set my sights on […]
