GRETA VAN FLEET: Pittsburgh Show Review
With a name like the Starcatcher Tour, one can only assume that it would be nothing short of celestial and magical, and I am here to confirm that it was exactly that. The tour, made up of bands Mirador, Geese, and Greta Van Fleet, brought the visual, auditory, and all-around good time. The crowd dressed to the nines, signs for all occasions, and I definitely felt temporarily welcome into the fan club, but enough of that, on to the review.
Mirador kicked off the night, as they should since one half of the band’s frontmen is none other than Jake Kiszka—yes, the same guitarist from our headliner Greta Van Fleet. Alongside Kiszka is Chris Turpin of Surfburst. A newer found project, the duo leans towards the folk rock end of genres, highlighting not only their guitar skills but hints of vocal talent as well. Of course, being a new project makes for a short set list, but it was just the right amount to hype up the crowd up from the beginning. I am excited to see where this group goes, but for now, let’s
move on to Geese.
The Brooklyn-based band Geese takes the stage. Fitting right in with GVF, the band had a decent year for releases last year, releasing their album 3D Country in June of 2023. Followed later by their EP 4D Country in October, adding an additional four songs to the previous album. The band is fronted by Cameron Winter, who led this merry band of musicians through an awesome setlist consisting of some fan favorites, including “Cowboy Nudes” and “2122.” Needless to say, he led a setlist fit for our main act, Greta Van Fleet.
Hailing from Frankenmuth, Michigan, we find Greta Van Fleet. A progressive rock band consisting of three brothers, Josh, Jake, and Sam Kiszka, and close friend Daniel Wagner, who people have said could be this generation’s Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin. From their fabulous wardrobe of rhinestone suits to their incredible pyrotechnics, the band was certainly able to deliver a spectacular performance. Josh definitely took the lead; from handing out single white roses to taking props and even a shooter of Fireball from a fan, he was definitely made to be a lead vocalist.
Halfway through the performance, we received an absolutely incredible solo drum performance from Wagner, which lasted for at least 5 incredible minutes. This gave the rest of the band time to get out to their satellite stage for the acoustic portion of the show, which included a cover of “Unchained Melody” with a small snippet of “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” to pay homage to Mister Rogers.
The guys closed out their performance with a three-song encore, which included the well known “Light My Love” and, in true fashion, ended with “Farewell For Now.”
Overall, the night was fun for all and certainly a top tour so far in my book.

PRAISE THE LORDS…..FUCK THE REST
LORDS OF ACID ARE BACK ON TOUR AND MADE THEIR WAY INTO DC at the 930 Club. It’s been since 2019 that the Lords toured the US, this time they have the latest edition singer Gigi Ricci.
I have to say Gigi was amazing on stage, such a great performer and entertainer and so personable with the fans and even tho she was a little under the weather and had a sore throat she came out and killed it.
Of course it always awesome to see Praga again and my friend bassist Dietrich Thrall.
Lords of acid played a good mix of albums “Our Little Secret”, “Voodoo-U” “Lust” and “Farstucker”.
This night was even made more super special because we got a Praga set before the lords set which included the Mortal Kombat theme song. I also want to give it up for Trudy who came on the stage with Lords and had GiGi dominate them and spank. Also a quick shoutout to “Sex Bomb Annie” who got tossed into the crowd and took a good licking.
