Red Engine Nine

Being such a huge fan of these guys' music and creativity, I was so excited for this show, I had to sit down to relax before entering the venue! Haha. The Horrors brought such a fantastic atmosphere to the El Rey Theatre. Their music creates a heavy feeling of nostalgia and psychedelic and dream like vibes. They alternated insongs from their sophomore album Primary Colours, and their lastest record Skying. The songs from both albums complement each other perfectly. Faris gave his all into his vocals. Rhys' bass-dancing is a spectacle on its own, as well as Joshua's going crazy as he plays his guitar, hair covering his face completely and all. I completely let loose and danced to every song, closing my eyes at several points, smiling so big, and feeling doubtful that this experience was real. So surreal to be part of a crowd, who are feeling the things you are....

Aaron Bing's concert was fantastic. He interacts with the crowd well and his talents burst off the stage. His band was comprised of very talented musicians and the sound was great. Perhaps the biggest issue was that they overpowered Aaron at times. Nonetheless, it was a great concert. I drove three hours to attend and while I got back home at 2:30am, it was worth it!!

I would have enjoyed that show more if she songs that were have more recognizable. As always the venue is excellent and the sound system is perfect.

of the four band Unkle kracker topped the bill. While we enjoyed Sugar Rey the sound mix was uneven (bass overode guitar and vocals, Smash Mouth sond mix was even worse the vocal were alomost unitelligable and the overall sound was muddy, Blues Traveler was ok but agin vocal were hard to understand although that may have simply been the lead vocalist as opposed to the mix. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. I would let anyone that buyer beware the on line option leads you to believe that it is reserved seating but it is not it is open seating although there is a standing pit area that they charge more money for so if you dont mind standing then go for it. The seat were comfortable enough and the event itself wasn't a sell out so ther were plenty of good seats available when we went in just before the show started. Sets were approx 45 min and change over was quick I would imagine that fewer bands would equal more stage time for each. Overall we found that it was worth the drive and the ticket price.

Rich Robinson Rocks As ALWAYS! Not a lot of attendies so we had the place to ourselves! Good sound and nice workers there!

I love live music! I used to go to a ton of different concerts and festivals. Then I saw the Hives at Coachella. They were so good that when they finished with their set I left the festival. I have never since been to another concert of any kind again. Why even bother, the Hives cannot be topped...

I've been a fan of Chimaira for a while, but this is the first time I've been able to see them in concert. What an incredible show. They were extremely high-energy, and they rocked amazingly hard. The mosh pit filled up the entire room, and even a couple of girls joined in the fun. The opening acts weren't anything to write home about, but Chimaira was 100% awesome beginning to end! Love you guys! Much respect. \\m/ -_- \\m/

I've seen this band multiple times and they just get better with time. The tightness and punch delivered by Soulive was on full display at this show. And a real treat to see them in a smaller venue like The Paradise.

One of the BEST shows ever....the rotating stage made for perfect viewing and the lighting in the Big Tent gave such a warm feeling.....

This show rocked from beginning to end. You'll have to forgive me for not being able to recall the names of the opening bands, however, they're were also amazing, especially the opening band from Pomona, CA.
