Live music with my love

A few weeks ago my husband Daniel took me to go see some awesome Live music. It was a fundraiser to help our friends get back to Scotland. It was very lovely. 

 

Guitars and December

Had a sweet Lunch date with my boyfriend at my favorite Cafe and ate vegan food than later checked out cool guitars with my sexy guitarist at a local shop. Hope you all had a great December.

My new necklace from Emilie Autumn. Custom made. 

Goth band HAUNTED HAUS and 80's revivalists.

I wanted to show off a fun video by the band Haunted Haus. I wish I had discovered this band a while ago.  This video is from their seminal 1988 album "Goth As Moff"  The song is called"Sad Party" that is kind of a takeoff from fun goth videos back in the day. I talked to one of the dudes in the band who told me he eats fruitarian style which is rad! Love to other vegans :) He filmed the video with vhs and it really takes me back to 80's 90's era. It was a fun watch. They did a throw back to the 80's satire video that was so fun to watch. I love the weird, grainy footage and the chorus will be stuck in my head lolz if you are an alternative like me who does not take yourself too seriously then you might enjoy this band and video. Check their youtube out here: HAUNTED HAUS

Other tracks you might dig are Goth Forbid,

Here is a link to their facebook as well: Haunted Haus facebook

If you are interested in purchasing their album here is their bandcamp: ALBUM

I want to talk about other 80s revivalists. If you happen to be a goth or alternative person who is obsessed with that era I'd love to get to know you. There is something grungy, dangerous, glam and wicked about that era. I grew up as a kid and always admired all the punks and goths I met. I aspired to be like them and I loved bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure and many more. I hope this post can inspire some of you to get your best 80's on. I love the fashion, the style, the diy, the music, almost everything about that era. If you search on instagram you can find a plethora of young and old who are still stuck on the 80's. With the resurgence of badass Spielburg-esque gothic style 80's shows like Stranger Things it is a sign that this era is not dead. I love watching elder goths talk about their experiences on youtube.

I love 80's revival bands :D and the 80's of course. Here is a pic of me dressed all 80's inspired:

Rob Zombie and Korn Return of the Dreads Tour

This tour was one of the best I've ever seen. It was so badass!! Rob Zombie and Korn both kicked ass! I was stoked to see a trailer for Zombies new upcoming film 31 too. I can't wait! ahhh I love all the cool stuff he does when he is on stage. His visuals are always amazing. Korn's set was last and it was amazing. We stayed until the end. I hope everyone gets to check this tour out!! You won't be disappointed. They played all the fan's favorites plus some new stuff.

Foo Fighters!!

This was an excellent show. I went to the show right after my first tattoo session. I wasn't too sore though. I am so stoked I got to make it out to see them play. Woohoo! it was the perfect end to my day. I love them so much.

Everyday Music

 The other day we got up had some teas and coffee, ate breakfast and ventured out to a neato, used cd and record shop around the corner. I had to give it a visit since it was on my itinerary. Everyday Music has items at incredibly affordable prices. You will have fun looking around. There is definitely a section for metal/goth type music and loads of rock so check it out! 

Bridge School Benefit show

I went with friends to the Bridge School Benefit show. It was awesome. I really enjoyed seeing Florence and the Machine for the first time plus there were a lot of other bands. Florence is amazing and her voice is so ethereal. It is moving and takes you to a different place.  I was stoked to see great bands for a great cause. If you live near Bay Area you should check the Bridge School Benefit out next year. My favorite moment of the evening was when Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell sang together. Throwback to Temple of the Dog  days. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden's performances are always amazing but this was very magical. I am so excited to see them again in the future. I have seen both bands several times before.
