The Drained at The NAMM Show – Live Review

The Drained, The NAMM Show, The Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA., January 24, 2025

I had the opportunity to catch a short set from the rock band The Drained performing at NAMM at the Hampback stage. Even though it was a shorter set, they still managed to wow the crowd that gathered. This was my first time hearing them, and seeing them perform, also I just learned about them at NAMM through Highwire Daze Magazine.

The rock band is female fronted, led by Brianna (B.B.) and consists of three other members. They have an edgy alternative rock sound, which definitely kept my attention focused on their set. I wish they could have done it a little bit longer. B.B. has a super soulful sound to her voice and definitely nailed the complete song both times. I loved the flow of each musical instrument from the drums to the keyboard.
