Gearing up for one of the most intense weeks of my year at San Diego Comic Con. Once again, I’ll be working with High Voltage to interview talent, promote activations, and cover parties and events. This year, there are several bands playing that I’m thrilled to include in my schedule.  The All-American Rejects, Magnolia Park and the one and only Foxy Shazam are all playing parties or other types of events and I am here for this, Comic Con!

Warped Tour is also coming through California (Long Beach) and we have some of those bands playing other stages in LA and the OC. Notably, Royal & The Serpent bringing her All Grl Jam to the Echo Thursday night as just one option on a very packed night of girl power groups.
