A new year can mean a million different things to a million different people. However, for music fans, it only means two things: new music and new tours.

        Pepper kicked off their new year by playing to a packed house in Agoura Hills on Thursday night. The talented trio, who finished off last year by playing a handful of shows with big bands like The Dirty Heads, did things a little different for the first show of their winter tour; for this show, Pepper was the only band…
