Are you ready to slip and slide and twirl all about? This is exactly the sort of treatment you’ll receive after witnessing the horror punk act of Church For Sinners or C.F.S. As the clock struck 9:45PM late last night strange occurrences had begun. Four Mortals or in this case the walking dead emerged and brought upon the small crowd a highly anticipated performance. A performance lasting 45 minutes to be precise, lashing out tunes of the past and future, past coming off “Making Monsters,” a quick 7-track EP with nothing but pure punk rocking action. As for the future tunes which come off their soon to be released album due out later this year. As the set continued to play on the crowd continued to fall under the performer’s spell of amazing music. Soon to be shattered by the screaming and shouting attics of Andy the front man of the whole operation, who ordered the audience to get up and have some fun! After all it was a rock show so else is there to do? So after that was said the crowd began to move forward then the music started to pick up and the next thing you know, the crowd began moving slow then faster and faster until a overpowering mosh pit and circle pit were spinning out of control. Church For Sinners were highly pleased along the audience who cheered and clapped right along to all the fun they were now experiencing. All in all this night of horrors was filled with nothing but pure scary good fun!

It’s a night for rock n roll! Says the entire musical line-up of tonight’s event taking place at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, California first up is Los Angeles’s very own hard rock heavy metal sensation Daybreak Ends dishing out a 30 minute set list of 9-tunes to bang your head too; mixing old “Perfect Tragedy,” with new “A Self Unseen,” getting the crowd into high energy. From jumping up and down to the bat of the music to banging your head to keep up with the rest of the crowd, everyone within the music atmosphere was entertained.

Concluding the night life in Hollywood was another Los Angeles based act from Long Beach known as I Am Ghost having front man Steven Juliano format the band in 2004 leading them from numerous magazine covers to top charting musicians. I Am Ghost have handled all the press and media that have been thrown at them. Leaving what else to do than play the music they’ve created. In doing so played an hour long set consisting of old to new back to the very oldest of tunes from all their current albums flying about. Halfway through their set Steven shouts “I don’t care what type of music you listen to whether it’d be punk, grunge, reggae, hip-hop, heavy metal, we play rock music and we don’t belong to a music scene.” The crowd shouted with agreement as the band continued to rock and roll the rest of their set. Consisting of “Civil War and Isolation Thirst,” “Our Friend Lazarus Sleeps,” “Saddest Story Never Told,” “Those We Leave Behind,” “Bone Garden,” to a much older tune off “We Are Always Searching,” (2005)EP entitled “Pretty People Never Lie, Vampires Really Never Die,” played as their final encore song of the night. Throughout the set the crowd interacted in every way possible from jumping in pace to pushing and shoving one another to screaming their hearts out.

I Am Ghost threw on an entertaining show you could only imagine in person. The energy is high and fun and brings out the inner being hidden inside of you, one that is saying “let me out and live my life.”

Aiden the Seattle boys that thought they could did. Accomplishing four LP’s with constant touring from all over the world being on magazine covers and interviews galore; who would ever think that these goth rock and rollers would still be standing to this day? Many may not have heard of these rock and rollers but their aggression and intensity alone sets the scene for their musical performance that they captured the night they brought it all home on their latest but miniature tour known only as “Your Ticket To Hell!” taking place at Hollywood’s very own Knitting Factory, Aiden rocked the jammed packed crowd with crowd surfers, pit dancing, and stage diving mayhem from all angles possible. Why don’t you jump in on all the fun and excitement while everything is still fresh and burning in the fiery blaze of hell!

“Did somebody loose a book?” shouts  WiL front man of goth punk rock ‘n’ roll sensation Aiden, the audience replied “No” along with cheers and shouts then  WiL remarks “Oh well it’s about God, too bad there is no such thing.” as he tosses the book over his shoulder and the band breaks into the remainder of their set. Coming out of Seattle who knew that these intense and aggressive four young talents had what it takes to create such angry music. That is what Will has been asked repeatedly in his current interview mayhem but his response “I’m not angry, I’m afraid.”

Who wouldn’t be afraid especially how the current economy is affecting us both health wise and moneywise we will all fall straight to the depths of hell. Never having the chance to witness “The Last Sunrise,” was the introduction tune that got the entire Knitting Factory in Hollywood flowing with complete energy, sweat, and tears. As the band broke into a short but simple 45 minute set list that consists of the old, new, and newest mixture of tunes, “The Last Sunrise,” “Die Romantic,” “Teenage Queen,” We Sleep Forever,” newest single off their fourth accomplishment “Knives,” entitled “Scavenger of the Damned,” along with “Killing Machine,” that kept the energy impacted and flowing. When their set hit mid-way point the crowd chanted “Aiden, Aiden, Aiden,” as the band freshened up briefly and ran back onto the stage to conclude their set for the night with not one, but two tracks in store.

The audience accepted the band’s departure and continued to rant and rave through the first of the two songs remaining and then hell itself opened up from underneath us as WiL wraps up the night “We are Aiden and we will see you on this summer’s Van’s Warped Tour 2009!” “Now everyone knows what this is right?” as the entire floor split into two half’s everyone awaiting the fun and excitement that awaited the conclusion of the night. As the song broke into “I Set My Friends On Fire,” the two half’s came together smashing against one another some going up into the air while others scrambled to get up off the ground as the band continued to rock ‘n’ roll their way until the very end. WiL hopping onto the floor while others hopped into the stage singing, dancing and expressing themselves in every way possible Aiden in the end drawing in the intensity that will blaze on until their light is burnt out under the worse circumstances.
