Reno Rages: The Latest Fashion Sets the Stage for Cavalera Chaos

The Virginia Street Brewhouse in Reno was a cauldron of raw energy last Sunday night, and local boys The Latest Fashion threw some fiery ingredients into the mix. Opening for the legendary Max and Igor Cavalera is no small feat, but Jeremy Granata and his crew rose to the occasion with a set that was nothing short of explosive.

From the moment they hit the stage, The Latest Fashion commanded attention. Granata's stage presence is undeniable, a raw, visceral force that pulled the crowd in. The band’s sound, a potent blend of hard-hitting riffs and driving rhythms, resonated perfectly with the Brewhouse's intimate, gritty atmosphere.

It was clear from the get-go that the crowd was hooked. Moshing and headbanging erupted almost instantly, a testament to the band's ability to ignite a frenzy.

The band’s setlist kept the momentum at a fever pitch, each song delivered with a ferocity that left no room for breath. The band was tight, and every member was giving it their all. The guitar riffs were sharp, the drums were thunderous, and Granata’s vocals cut through the noise with a raw, powerful edge.

The highlight of the night, however, came during their final song, "Blood O Plenty", To the roaring approval of the crowd, The Latest Fashion welcomed Josh Lease, the powerhouse vocalist of Purification By Fire, to the stage. The dual-vocal attack was a masterstroke, a chaotic symphony of screams and growls that sent the mosh pit into overdrive. The collaboration was a perfect example of the strong local music scene that Reno has to offer. The crowd was on their feet and going wild.

The Latest Fashion proved they're more than just a local opener; they're a force to be reckoned with. They set the stage perfectly for the Cavaleras, leaving the crowd primed and ready for the main event. If you missed this show, you missed a truly electric performance.
