Andrew Risch's Profile

Ahoy there! From far across the sea comes a band of dirty drunken pirates with a simple mission: To drink your beer, steel your rum and melt your face. Hailing from Scotland, Alestorm is the best Pirate themed metal band to sail the seven seas.

Megadeth made their epic return to the Queen City on July 2nd and for many fans it was an all-day party with the thrash metal titans. The day started with a pre-concert meet and greet with the band’s frontman Dave Mustaine at Jungle Jim’s in Eastgate.

2017 has been an impressive year for Megadeth.

It’s a combination that’s as great as peanut butter & jelly. One can exist without the other, but should it? Dave Mustaine, a member of one of Metal’s most legendary bands, Megadeth, is taking that combination one step further by releasing his very own beer.

Deicide is about as legendary as you can get in the dark world of Death Metal. Formed back in 1987 by vocalist Glen Benton and drummer Steve Asheim, the group rose to the mainstream with their second album, Legion. (My personal favorite.) Deicide has gone on to release 11 studio albums, 1 live album as well as a few music videos.

The Mad Frog opened their doors to Death Metal legends Deicide Friday night for one helluva of brutal evening. For this current tour, the group is focusing on the basics. Smaller towns, smaller venues and bigger shows. Fans showed up early for this show, already forming a line before the doors...

The Rev is returning to the Bunbury stage to rock n roll the crowd with some good ol’ fashioned psychobilly. The Dallas, Texas based trio first played Bunbury back in 2015 and are ready to once again put on a super swinging show. Reverend Horton Heat has often been called, “The...

2017 has been a great year for AFI (or A Fire Inside for the cool kids). The veteran punk group released their 10th studio album in January, the self-titled, “AFI” (The Blood Album) and are looking forward to getting back on the road. Lucky enough for us, Bunbury is one of the stops...

If Everybody’s Records isn’t on your list of places to check out this Record Store Day, you’re doing it wrong.  Everybody’s is not only a great stop on Record Store Day, but a great stop on any day of the year.  Since 1978, the good folks at Everybody’s...

I love a good band name and Reformed Whores is name that instantly made me check them out.  The musical comedy duo has been often compared to one part Dolly Parton and one part Tenacious D as they play twangy music with filthy (and hilarious) lyrics. The girls may be NYC based but they are...

Parody bands are great for mocking other popular groups and giving us a good laugh.  Just look at Weird Al, his parodies are fantastic, witty and fun.  But, do they rock?  Do you blast Weird Al during your workout routine?  (Well, I do.  I also bench 25 lbs) Okilly Dokilly...

Kevin Smith, better known as Silent Bob, is not much like the character he portrays.  He is not silent in the least bit. An Evening with Kevin Smith is a one man show with the Indie Director full of jokes, nerd trivia, and life lessons.  For a little over three hours, Smith knows how to...
