D.R.I.
ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLY D.R.I. Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (often abbreviated and referred to as D.R.I.) are an American crossover thrash band that formed in Houston, Texas in 1982 and would later relocate to San Francisco, California. The band is currently composed of two of its founding members, lead vocalist Kurt Brecht and guitarist Spike Cassidy, as well as bassist Greg Orr and drummer Rob Rampy. D.R.I. never gained a mainstream audience, but the integration of their hardcore punk roots with thrash metal influences was a stylistic catalyst for their contemporaries – most notably Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity, Stormtroopers of Death, the Cro-Mags, Nuclear Assault, Adrenalin O.D., and Cryptic Slaughter – alongside whom they are considered to be one of the major pioneers of what would later be called “crossover thrash”. These bands had a heavy influence on modern thrash metal. As of 2025, D.R.I. has released seven full-length studio albums. Other than three new songs on the 2016 EP But Wait… There’s More! they have not released a full-length studio album since Full Speed Ahead in 1995. Despite this, the band has continued to tour almost every year, and gone on hiatus intermittently, notably between 2004 and 2009, when Cassidy was diagnosed with colon cancer. Since the late 1990s, D.R.I. has been working on their eighth full-length studio album, which remains unreleased. PARALYSIS Thrash metal band from New Jersey.
Vision Video
ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLY VISION VIDEO Vision Video is a post-punk goth rock band from Athens, Georgia that injects modern malaise into classic sounds of the late 70’s and 80’s. The band pays homage to classics like the Chameleons and The Cure, while also bringing a refreshing modern element to the genre. Thematically their music explores the effects of trauma on the human psyche and finding stability and agency in an insane world. Having served in Afghanistan with the army and as a firefighter in the civilian world, lead singer and guitarist Dusty Gannon is no stranger to the darker proclivities of humanity and death itself. “I wanted to write music that helped people remember that it’s okay to not be okay, but that also doesn’t shy away from taking a stern look at the darker aspects of our flawed human existence.” says Gannon. The band’s first two records were met with much critical praise, such as that from Pitchfork stating they create “dreamy tune tailor-made for the sort of wallflower who sprints to the dancefloor the instant the DJ drops “Age of Consent” or “Primary” at Goth Night” Their debut LP “Inked in Red” and second LP “Haunted Hours”, were recorded and mixed by Tom Ashton of The March Violets at his Sub Von Studios in Athens, Georgia. Vision Video will soon record their next LP “Modern Horror” at Maze Studios in Atlanta headed by Grammy award winning producer Ben Allen. FORREST ISN’T DEAD Known for their introspective and candid lyrics, Madison Records Alternative Pop band Forrest Isn’t Dead pours out their stories of hardships and redemption through their dreamy and euphoric take on music. The Atlanta based band is made up of lead singer Forrest and his three best friends Vassy, Kymani, and Cole. Being on the road together for many successful tours has brought them as close as brothers, and this is evident in their live show. The band draws inspiration from all over the playing field including bands such as The Cure, Coheed & Cambria, Nine Inch Nails, and Crosses. The release of their debut album “The End of Everything” on September 16th, 2022, achieved critical success from both fans and industry. They’ve amassed millions of streams across all platforms, and have been featured on numerous Spotify editorial playlists, as well as MTV’s Spanking New with their singles ‘’Fire’ and ‘Born or Made’. In addition to their music being played on radio stations across the country including 99X-Atlanta, KTCL-Denver, KPNT-St. Louis, and KJEE Santa Barbara, the band was featured in such press outlets as Alternative Press, Amplify Music, Broadway World, Vents, and more! There is no slowing down for Forrest Isn’t Dead in 2024 as they kicked off the year with an electric performance at the Grammy Nominations in support of Killer Mike. The band is now set up at Madison Studios, diligently recording their much anticipated sophomore album. Fans can expect new music throughout this year, along with live dates across the U.S.
CANCELED: Nine Treasures
Due to unforeseen travel complications, this tour has been postponed until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience and the refund process for ticket holders is underway via ETix now. – ALL AGES- STANDING ROOM ONLYNINE TREASURES Few bands can claim to have an identity and sound as remarkable as Nine Treasures. The folk-metal heroes, whose members derive from the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia in China, formed in 2010. Three albums, millions of streams and several European tours and festival shows (Wacken Open Air, Woodstock Poland) later, Nine Treasures are well on their way to accomplishing their goal of a Mongolian metal revolution. For vocalist/guitarist and founding member Askhan Avagchuud, it’s the way the band harnesses their distinctive and characterful take on heavy music that sets them apart. “It’s always been about the music with us,” he says. “When I started this band I had no idea how things worked, and I thought it was all about marketing, promotion and fancy videos, but after 10 years of doing this, I’ve realised that everything revolves around the music itself. That’s why our focus is on making our music as great as it can be – we’re constantly progressing.” The music Askhan speaks of is a unique combination of old school heavy metal and traditional Mongolian folk which sees Nine Treasures utilise both conventional vocals and Mongolian throat singing. Likewise, guitars, bass and drums collide with traditional string instruments such as the balalaika and the morin khuur, resulting in a sonic kaleidoscope that follows no set template. Unlike much of contemporary rock and metal, there are no rules when it comes to Nine Treasures, and that makes the quality of the band’s output all the more impressive. “It’s not as simple as just putting a guitar chord behind some Mongolian melodies,” Askhan explains. “Our music is so much deeper than that. We don’t follow a model, and we work to ensure the two distinct facets of our sound complement one another. I’ve changed the way I play the guitar in order to accommodate the Mongolian elements, and vice-versa. To do this takes a lot of analysis and experimentation”HAISHENFRACTURED FRAMES
