February 2nd, 2025, five bands took to the stage at the Whisky a Go Go for a memorable night of Rock and Metal. 

Teskey, out of Phoenix, AZ, opened the show with some Blues Rock, setting an appropriate mood for the headliners to come. They were followed by New York’s Good Monster, bringing catchy Alt Rock melodies to capture the crowd. 

Mori’s Memento is a CA-based five-piece with a massive sound and presence emitting from the stage. Each song strikes the right balance between heavy and melodic, with frontwoman Charlotte La Rue’s vocals that are both radio-friendly yet powerfully unique, guitarists Alexis Angel and Alan Garcia generating an electric energy, drummer Noah Bradshaw anchoring an intense foundation, and bassist Jonny Heinz delivering an intricate and solid musical presence. “Throw Me To The Wolves” was possibly the heaviest song with one of the best intros of their set, and “Endless Nightmare” is the band’s latest release, which sounds like your favorite throwback track with 80’s-tinged solos. Mori’s Memento plays with a power that stands out yet perfectly blends among the lineup. 

Eyes of The Wicked, based out of Long Beach, CA, seemed right at home on the legendary Whisky A Go Go stage. Guitarist Rob Pierce stole the show with his solos, executed with incredible speed and skill, seamlessly fitting into the songs while holding a distinct musical voice of their own. Brandon Kaiser’s striking vocals soar in melodies, while bassist Stephen Henager and drummer Fred Lundkvist lock in as a formidable rhythm section, heavy yet grooving as the perfect foundation. “Erase” stands out as a memorable track, which is also featured as one of the band’s latest music videos, with its lengthy live jam session leaving room for the members to showcase their impressive talents. But “Last Train Leaving” also left a great impression with its catchy, stuck-in-your-head opening riff that feels like a meeting of classic and modern rock that’s meant to be. Of course, that can be said for all of Eyes of the Wicked’s tracks, whose classic influences color the songwriting while their originality and spirit shines through. 

Legend Zeppelin arrived just as their 70s-attired fans emerged toward the front of the stage, and the self-proclaimed “Bootleg Experience” of Led Zeppelin paid a strong tribute to the classic icons. The lineup of vocalist August Young, guitarist Josh Cuevas, and drummer Cody Tarbell stepped into their respective roles like naturals, as did bassist Alexis Angel, who also played double duty for the night, taking only a brief break from shredding in Mori’s Memento to rejoin the stage as part of Legend Zeppelin to close out the night.
