(PCM) The line-up for this year’s Ca

rnival Of Madness tour was just incredible! This year’s show included Evanescence, Chevelle, Halestorm, Cavo, and New Medicine making it a stellar line-up of a wide-array of heavy hitting bands that certainly know how to pack a punch.

The evening got off to a great start with sets from both New Medicine and Cavo, however my only complaint would be that their set’s were so short if you turned your back for a minute or were running late to the show you ran the risk of missing both. Cavo always displays on of the most energetic performances on stage and it was fantastic to hear songs such as “Champagne”, “Ready To Go” and “Thick As Thieves” in the live setting...

(PCM) I attended the kick-off for the North American leg of Madonna’s “MDNA” Tour last night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA and without a doubt the show was one of the most spectacular that I have ever witnessed. From the elaborate stage design and set pieces to the beautifully choreographed dance routines the show was top notch from beginning to end. It was quite apparent that Madonna and crew spared no expense putting together this tour and fans are sure to be delighted, however if you are looking for a show that only showcases classic Madonna hits sing-a-long style than this will not be the show for you.

The “MDNA” tour set list consisted majorly of Madonnas’ newer material off her recently released “MDNA” album and a few amazing re-interpretations of her classic hits suc...

Andy Grammer at the Mann Music Center[/caption]In a summer of overwhelming heat and uncomfortably sticky summer nights, this was the night to be at the Mann Music Center.  The triple bill lead with Andy Grammer in a short but energetic set, friendly enough for the uninitiated.   Perhaps considered soft-rock with an R&B edge, I’d describe his sound as dignified pop with some jazz inspiration.   Singing with a powerful heart and infectious smile, Andy’s tunes had the crowd onboard with upbeat hooks.  Grammer’s short set stretched out to about 7 songs featuring his latest hopeful hit, “Fine By Me” which is deserving of top 40 airplay.

If you’ve never been to the Mann Music Center, the open air venue is complete with b...
