The icons were set to hit the stage at 8:30pm, so the tailgating was in full effect when we arrived at the venue. After grabbing a “few” beers and
The mighty Holy Grail came through Brooklyn this week and left the Knitting Factory in pieces! Fresh off of the release of their latest album, “Ride The Void,” they set out on this headlining tour with one thing in mind, and that’s to bring true heavy metal to the fans!
