They say that Monsters that rock together, stay together. Well…they didn’t really say that since I just made that up. But it sounded cool. On the night of October 29, 2025, where the spirit of Halloween 2025 was in the air all across Southern California, The City of Hollywood, CA was invaded by spawns ROCKSTARS who all convened inside the famous Music venue, bar, and bowling alley called Lucky Strike Hollywood.

Music lovers, patrons of the establishment, fans and super fans were all treated with a very special evening of Hard rocking sounds and music and performance by ROCKSTARS of all kinds. The best part about this is that this showcase was FREE and is presented to us by SOUNDCHECK LIVE. No entrance fee. No tickets needed. No VIP booths and passes. All in the name of good old rock and roll music by great musicians for all music lovers.

The theme on this night was called “MONSTERS THAT ROCK,” only fitting of course since this occurred on the week of Halloween. A fun-tastic evening was had by all.

SOUNDCHECK LIVE is curated by its Captain, Leader and Mastermind, Steve Ferlazzo, Musical Director for Avril Lavigne and a seasoned veteran and master keyboardist.
