The rock and roll scene in Los Angeles was born when the Whisky started operation; because of its status as a historic music landmark Whisky a Go Go was the first ever live music venue to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. “Playing at the Whisky was a dream come true for us. Opening for Last In Line, a band formed by former members of Dio’s band, added to the surreal experience,” shared Erick, reflecting on their memorable performance. The club has been the host for some of the most famous bands and artists in the world, such as Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Oasis, KISS, Guns N’ Roses, and a number of other artists.
As the thunderous drums and searing guitar riffs of Nox Sinister echo through the air, it’s clear that this heavy metal band is on a trajectory to dominate the scene. At the heart of their sonic onslaught lies the talent of guitarist Erick Garcia, whose electrifying solos and relentless energy fuel the band’s intense live shows and boundary-pushing compositions.
