Deftones Raises the Roof in Boston
Deftones, perhaps the most successful band ever in the alt metal genre, is also on the road in the United States. On April 8th, they took to the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, where fans were excited to hear some of the classics in the setlist for the night such as “You’ve Seen the Butcher,” “Diamond Eyes” or “Minerva”. According to the local paper The Boston Globe’s reporting, the show was a smash hit with the thousands of attendees.
Simply Red Celebrates 40th Anniversary
The English pop/soul band Simply Red was formed in 1985 in Manchester, United Kingdom, by Mick Hucknall who just had to see the failure of his band “The Frantic Elevators” at the time. Little did he know then that his new endeavor would still be going on 4 decades later.
But that is exactly what happened, as Simply Red has plenty of shows on their schedule in 2025 (starting in September). Even their latest full-length studio album, “Time,” came out as recently as May 2023. A documentary about the band on the occasion of their 40th anniversary is also being released, coming to theaters on May 15th.
Brunori Sas Is Touring Italy in 2025
Italian pop singer Brunori Sas has been on the local indie scene since 2009. He still has a respectable sized following, who are eager to see him in his upcoming nationwide tour, starting in the capital city of Rome, Italy on June 18th and ending in Verona, Italy on October 3rd.
