Austin Carlile brings his voice to Backstage Bar & Billiards, the Fremont East rock bar known for packing heavy touring acts into a room small enough that you can feel the bass in your chest. Carlile made his name as the vocalist for bands like Of Mice & Men and Attila, helping shape the deathcore and metalcore sound that's built a loyal following over the years, and a show like this one gives fans a chance to see him up close in a setting far more intimate than the arenas and festival stages he's used to.
Given the venue and the tags attached to the show, expect a night steeped in the heavier end of rock - blast beats, breakdowns, and the kind of crowd that knows every lyric. Backstage Bar & Billiards has built its reputation on exactly this kind of booking, so the pairing of artist and room feels right at home.
