Three Lock Box Velvet Chains Headline Count's Vamp'd Las Vegas

Friday night, May 16th, 2025

Arriving at the club.

The familiar rumble of amps echoed from inside Count’s Vamp’d, with a sense of change hanging deeply in the air. Tonight was more than just another rock show with two amazing bands. It was like a love letter to one of Las Vegas’s most iconic live music venues, soon to close its doors after years of championing the city’s classic rock music scene. For fans, musicians, and loyal regulars, it wasn’t just about the bands on stage; it was about honoring the legacy of Count's Vamp'd, a place that's given so many local and touring bands a home and has given thousands of fans (Including Me) some unforgettable memories!

Opening the night was Velvet Chains, who I call one of the fastest rising stars of the hard rock scene. Velvet Chains took the stage and gave the packed house a blistering, high-energy performance. Highlighting the band's dynamic blend of hard rock and melodic hooks. With a BaDD-A$$ look and sound that you won't soon forget!

About Velvet Chains - "The fastest rising stars of the hard rock scene".

Velvet Chains’ biggest opportunities so far have been the 2024 South American run with Slash, Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators, and the May 2025 Brazil support dates with Stone Temple Pilots. 

On the U.S. side, they’ve steadily built local credits, frequently opening for hard-rock mainstays Todd Kerns and L.A. Guns at venues such as Count’s Vamp’d and The House of Blues.

Festival appearances (e.g., Porão do Rock) show the band branching beyond club supports into mixed-genre outdoor bills, exposing them to broader audiences around the world.

This lineup reflects the band's evolution, with Chaz Terra and Philip Paulsen joining in 2025, bringing fresh energy to the group. Long-standing member Nils Goldschmidt, who founded the band in 2018, continue to anchor Velvet Chains' signature sound.

Take it from this music journalist, these guys Rock Hard!

Three Lock Box.

To me, Three Lock Box is the next best thing to the Red Rocker himself!

Band Members (Pictured Left to Right)

• Danny Robert on drums
• Brenda Fitz on keys
• Merry Adin on bass/vocals
• JC Martinez, known as "Sin City Sammy (Jay Cee) on lead vocals
• Sherri Klein as their Sexy Dancer
• Steve Heath on guitar/vocals

What can you say about this amazing band? They covered over 20 songs in a little over an hour and a half. Brought in Super Rockers Rob Hussey, John Zito, and Stoney Curtis to heat up the party. 

Three Lock Box covered the entire era of Sammy Hagar. From the beginnings of Montrose, to fronting Van Halen, Chickenfoot, to The Circle. Dedicating "Dreams" to the entire staff of Vamp'd, and to owners Danny & Korie Koker. Ending their final performance inside Vamp'd with "There's Only One Way To Rock".

Three Lock Box Set List 5/16/2025

As the final roar of “I Can’t Drive 55” and "There's Only One Way To Rock" dissolved into feedback and the house lights in Count’s Vamp’d snapped from crimson to white, something lingered in the air—part tequila haze, part shared nostalgia, all pure rock-and-roll camaraderie. Three Lock Box didn’t merely revisit Sammy Hagar’s back-catalog; they reminded a packed Vegas room why these songs still rev the collective engine four decades on.
