Mojo’s Pick of the Week – Scorpion Child

Posted on September 9, 2013 by Mojo

Fans of Black Sabbath, Dio, Mountain, and any number of 70’s heavy fuzz rock bands will find that Austin’s Scorpion Child feels like your comfortable old Converse kicks and equally makes you want to jump around and dance and maybe break shit. These guys are solid as hell, and bring their unashamed retro style right in your face like a fisted glove. They’ve played with the mighty Clutch, among others, and are on tour right now to promote their just-released self titled debut album. Catch them at Slim’s SF on September 23!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: Red 9

Posted on October 26, 2012 by Mojo

I love rock trios. I really love good rock trios. There’s nowhere to hide in a trio, everyone contributes. From Cream to Rush to Primus to ZZTop, a three-piece can blow your mind with how much you can do with less.

Red 9 is a really good rock trio from Los Angeles that plays some serious balls-out rock. Versatile, modern, heavy, rock. Check out their excellent over of one of my favorite tunes, Nine Inch Nails‘ Head Like a Hole and see if you agree:

They rip it up tonight at the Troubadour LA – if you’re in the area, check them out!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: Concordia

Posted on August 23, 2012 by Mojo

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, up-and-coming band Concordia bring a mature sensibility to their brand of heavy melodic rock. They are currently touring with New Orleans rockers 12 Stones, and really impressed our promoter friends the Download Parlor when they rocked the Phoenix in Petaluma this week. “Ghost of You” from their debut “Clarity of Perception” is sufficiently epic to wonder why you’ve never heard them before!
