Stitched Up Heart 05-23-2016
Stitched Up Heart May 23rd, 2016 Omaha, Ne Shamrock’s Pub and Grill Tonight’s show honestly started out a cluster fuck. For untold reasons, each of the band’s set times were pushed back, making an already late show even later. Having Butcher Babies play a show across town didn’t help either.

Audiotopsy May 13th, 2016 Spicoli’s Grill and Reverb Rock Garden Waterloo, Iowa On the road to Northern Invasion, I found my new favorite band. From the ashes of Skrape, Mudvayne and Hellyeah, Audiotopsy was born. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the band’s live show. I was initially drawn
