I didn't see Parrotfish in San Diego...too many damn vampires there. But I did see them at the Open Chord in Knoxville, Tn and they were amazing! See these guys while they're still playing small clubs. Also, Knoxville has too many MAGA there. Almost as bad as the Cali Strigoi.
Honestly, i was disappointed. First, wanted to buy a shirt, but they sosnt have my size. Im only a large. But its whatever
Then, The flyer said show started at 8, but the band didn't take the stage until 930. After the first few songs A few members of the crowd suggested the mic be turned up, and the lead said "no, use proper mic technique" Which rubbed me the wrong way. If you want your patrons to use "proper mic technique", give them the equipment that correlates, such as in ear monitors; and how wierd to chastise a crowd of people that paid to see you that just wanna have fun. It was just a wierd attitude to get at an event like this. And then, a few more songs in, a announcement from the lead told us they wouldn't be able to get to everyone, which I understand, but then, what was the 1 1/2 hour discrepancy about?
Just generally a sour experience, but I still rated it a three, because maybe planets aligned and everyone was putting out fires and THIS was just one bad experience. I'd go one more time, but just to see if theres any difference
Fabulous! She has the best energy and loves getting to meet her fans. She draws you in with her story telling. And she is hilarious on top of it!!
I really enjoyed her opening act, Stuckey Leigh.
I was searching the days prior for a show to go to in San Diego and found out about WesGhost. I heard 2 of his songs, as well as Kill Dyll and Call me Karizma, and I knew I would enjoy it over the other shows going on in San Diego. They brought an energetic and interactive performance that was complimented by the venue Soda Bar, which brings a close, compact, and intimate venue. The crowd was one of the most tame crowds i've seen, in terms of respect for one another, while still brining insane energy. Most to all were noticeably big fans of the music, artists, and space provided. Overall, it was one of the best shows i've been to.
Such an amazing show. This band puts on one of the best live shows I've ever seen. With their long history they have a deep catalog of songs to choose from. The fans singing along add an extra level of energy and the bands harmonies sound as good live s they do on their albums. This is a band you must see if they are in your area. You won't regret it.
One of the best intimate concerts I’ve ever been to! Toni Romiti puts on a non stop and energetic performance with back to back hits! She’s a must see if she’s in your city!!!
The bound was sooo good live. I loved their sound live, I’d love to have an album of a live performance of theirs. The only thing that would have made the show better would be a better venue. I do like the vibe of this venue but the acoustics and circulation are terrible.
Fun time, great show. First time in the soda bar, smaller than I expected, but still a nice place. The Strike has a lot of stage energy and would like to see them in a larger venue.
The opener was new local SD band called Breadth, very dope shoegazey but had some melodic heavy bits and some black metal sprinkles.
Pire was EPIC as usual, lucky to see them 6 times now. They played a new song which was very good and very heavy !
Fractal was awesome, didn’t know they had a cellist 🙌 gotta catch them all again ASAP
Wow! My first time seeing this band at the Soda Bar and it was packed. I was able to sing with them and had the best time! They bring so much energy and talent to the stage. Can’t wait to see them perform again!
These guys are really chill and they put on an awesome show. I'm sure we'll be seeing them at festivals in the US soon. Soda Bar was a sick venue with great sound. Service left something to be desired but other than that, great time!
Great show! VNE played a few covers, several new songs, and some older ones. How refreshing to hear an artist that can sing and play without the need for electronic assistance. He’s for real y’all!
Intimate show--literally touching the low stage during Deviates killer set. Great energy and their veteran guitar player has serious skills. Ignite brought the vibes, too. Anyone who left after Deviates missed out. All 3 bands were fun and entertaining--will hopefully see them again soon!
Absolutely amazing, played United by Fate front to back, the band sounded great, Walter sounded great, the show just had a great feel good vibe that made the whole venue light up with smiles plus his parents were there to share a great moment with the San Diego fans…best night I’ve had in a long time! Sorry my picture isn’t great show was too good to not miss with my own eyes😜🤘
it was a great show. my dad informed me that Sparta was coming to town & were playing the day before my 31st birthday. both of us love music & we decided to go. somehow, it was my first time to Soda Bar. crazy right?!
We showed up just as the opening act started playing. the Opening act, Bent Blue, was really good. they had that old school San Diego sound that i've gotten more & more into over the years.
Then Sparta came on & just rocked the place! totally amazing show & i hope they come back soon
I would definitely recommend Soda Bar as a venue, I would recommend the Dice ticketing app as easy to use & i would recommend Bandsintown as a great way to find out which artists are coming to town
This was my first experience and I had a great time! The band was awesome and had such good energy despite how hot it was inside lol the crowd was really involved and made me feel very much amongst my people 😅 I’d recommend bringing earplugs
Homeboy Sandman rocked the house! Quell Chris was amazing energy! Both were better than I expected now I’m a fan of both these great hip hop artists! The Soda Bar is becoming the hip hop spot of San Diego! There staff is fantastic strong drinks great service! The environment is like being in the studio with the artist! Great show can’t wait for both of these artists to grace the stage in Diego very soon !
Great band. You can sense the depth of meaning and emotion in their music. Soda bar is an average venue, it has character but not ideal to for sound quality or overall experience. I would love to see this band in a larger venue.
It’s one thing to be able to write and play music but throw in the appreciation the band has for its fans and you have a very entertaining concert. Tow’rs spearheads that appreciation with engaging their fans throughout each song. I’ve seen way too many bands play just simply because it’s part of getting through the tour. Tow’rs tours because of their fans and the best part of the concert is knowing you are part of the growth and success they are experiencing!
They f*****g killed it!!! I literally bought tickets to the second night while they were playing. Absolutely incredible. They played absolutely everything anyone could have ever wanted and the whole place was a music crazy mob!!! Such an incredible mosh pit!! To make things even better they came with the same intensity on the following night. I'm a lifelong fan. Words of advice. Never choke on an opportunity to see these duders kill the f*****g game. Both nights sold out... obviously...
