Headlining the tour was Los Angeles-via-Australia’s Billboard-chart topping rockers Sick Puppies, whose “Hottest Chick In Rock” is bassist Emma Anzai, who mesmerized the packed House of Blues crowd with her sultry stage moves and bass playing while her band- which features Guitarist/Singer Shim Moore and Drummer Mark Goodwin, tore through high-octane hits “Riptide,” “War,” and “Maybe” from 2009’s Tri-Polar CD. “Gunfight,” “Trick The Devil Did” and the infectious “There’s No Going Back,” represented Sick Puppie’s latest CD “Connect” which debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 album chart, their highest charting position to date.  

 

Italian metalers Lacuna Coil treated their fans to a Hard Rocking set mixed with tunes from their last CD “Dark Adrenaline” and also a taste of their new disc “Broken Crown Halo” set to be released on April 1st. Singer and “Hottest Chick In Rock” Cristina Scabbia belted out Lacuna Coil classics ‘Trip the Darkness,’ ‘Kill the Light,’ and ’Intoxicated,’ while peppering in new songs ‘Die & Rise’ and ‘Nothing Stands in Our Way.’

 

 

Arizona metal act Eyes Set to Kill, featuring sisters Alexia and Anissa Rodriguez, held their own impressively setting the table for the night’s more established bands. Performing with seamless energy and chemistry between the two sisters as well as the rest of the band it’s no wonder why the group landed on Alternative Press's coveted "100 Bands You Need to Know List.” Their new album Masks is out now via Century Media Records, produced by Steve Evetts (Suicide Silence, The Dillinger Escape Plan).

 

 

New York’s Cilver started the evening on a high note and set the bar high for everyone who came after, no small feat for a band slotted first on a bill that includes seasoned veterans and high energy performers. Front woman Uliana impressed with her stage presence and vocals. With their debut single, “In My Head”, which features Bumblefoot of Guns n’ Roses, the band has garnered attention from Revolver Magzine, Metal Insider, Blabbermouth, and many other sites. “In My Head” has also been the “Flavor Of The Week” on Music Choice TV and has been getting spins on Sirius XM Octane.

 

 

The REVOLVER Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock tour is sponsored by High River Sauces, LP Media Consulting, Outerloop Management, Capitol Records, Century Media Records, Drill Down Entertainment, ReverbNation, Live Nation, House of Blues, and Vivogig.

SICK PUPPIES

Los Angeles via Australia modern rock trio Sick Puppies slammed into the scene in 2006 with their groundbreaking “Free Hugs,” video, which has garnered more than 40 million views on YouTube to date. The video, which accompanied the band’s song “All The Same,” earned Sick Puppies exposure on Oprah, Jay Leno, “60 Minutes” and CNN. It also propelled “All the Same” into a top requested single at commercial radio stations across North America. Years before YouTube, Sick Puppies were winning prestigious commendations, including “Best Song” from Triple J Unearthed, and “Best Live Performance” from the Australian Live Music Awards. The Australian edition of Rolling Stone even called Sick Puppies “the most dynamic new band in the country.” This past year saw the release of their most recent album, Connect (via Capitol Records), which garnered the band an impressive #17 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart. With infectious tunes, a jaw-dropping stage show and equal doses of hits and hugs, Sick Puppies are striking a blow against the horde of faceless modern rock bands that are virtually all the same.

 

 

LACUNA COIL

Moving and powerful, mysterious and serpentine, the music of Lacuna Coil has always been somewhat of a mystery to nail down. Too brawny to be gothic, yet too melodic to be purely metal, the band has carved a path all its own with their unique sound and undeniable songwriting prowess. Fans are in store for a real treat this time around, as the band will debut songs from their newly recorded album; the Jay Baumgardner produced Broken Crown Halo, which is set for an April 1 release date through Century Media Records.

 

 

EYES SET TO KILL

Eyes Set To Kill have been providing fans with an outlet for their aggression since they first emerged from Phoenix, Arizona in 2003. Since then, they have amassed over 1.3 million Facebook likes, covered USA Today, and landed on Alternative Press's coveted "100 Bands You Need to Know List". On the road, they've developed into a veritable whirlwind, sharing stages with everyone from Papa Roach to Black Veil Brides. They've crossed the globe four times on tour and even headlined a festival in Jakarta in front of 8,000-plus fans. Their new album Masks is out now via Century Media Records, produced by Steve Evetts (Suicide Silence, The Dillinger Escape Plan).

 

 

CILVER

Emerging from the New York, NY rock scene, Cilver, fronted by Uliana, one of the 2014 Revolver’s Hottest Chicks In Hard Rock, is quickly making a name for themselves.
