Contributor Sammy Key Reports On Vans Warped Tour For EIY

Published

Contributor Sammy Key has been giving us BD Music readers some great articles, from her ratings of the Saw Soundtracks to her interview with Anthony Raneri to her 5 Greatest Rock N’ Roll Frontwomen. She has definitely shown her passion for horror and music. Sammy recently was chosen to be a press correspondant for Earn It Yourself at the Vans Warped Tour in Hartford, CT. Below is an excerpt and a link to the full review.

Ah, the Vans Warped Tour. I, like many other kids my age, have been making this yearly summer pilgrimage to the altars of dusty parking lots, one-day-only stages and the God-like musicians who grace them since the ripe young age of thirteen. And I think that’s how many of the tour’s attendees think of the festival that is a huge cornerstone to summer – as a vaguely spirtual experience. On the drive up to Hartford, one of my best friends, Steph, and I joked about our date of the tour being held on a Sunday. “It’s like we’re on our way to church!” I said to Steph as we navigated our way to Hartford. She turned to me and said, “Well…we sort of are!”

‘The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live’ Concert Event to Make Streaming Debut Next Month

Published

The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live

AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.

The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.

Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24. 

Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”

Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.

The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.

Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.

The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
