If you will be attending M3 and are in Columbia, Maryland on Thursday night (May 2, 2013) make sure you check out DIEMONDS, STATION, and SIN 4 SIN presented by D-TOXIN PRODUCTIONS at Sonoma’s Bar and Grill in Columbia, MD.
Besides Monsters of Rock Cruise, this is the event of the year! I think after attending this, I’ll have seen every 80’s band I’ve ever wanted to see! Can’t wait!
