I recently had a chance to cover Chevelle's latest show at San Francisco's famed The Fillmore and which happened to be their first stop on this latest tour.  

The band brought their recognizable sound song structure and well-known stage show to a sold-out Fillmore with unmistakably happy, head-bobbing, long-time fans.  Chevelle had our full attention and the entire room sang along with every tune. The guests seemed to be really feeling  the 11 years of long time gratitude for the music, and after the performance they gave on this first day of the tour, I’m certain this performance will have only positive feedback from all who were fortunate enough to be present on this night.  Here's a bit from the night....

Bay Area's own Black Map took up the supporting role this night, came out swingin' with all pistons blazing and showed us all what to expect on this tour from them!

I had a chance to catch up with Ben Flanagan of Black Map for a quick interview... find that and my full show coverage and review on BAM Magzine!
