Around 100 fans showed up last night for the bands
performance at Central Mass’s premiere club, Liquid. The band came on
around midnight and completely destroyed the club with some kick ass
rock and roll. They played an hour and a half set and seemed very
excited to be playing for all of us again. They were just here over the
summer and it was amazing to see them again. The show was even better
than the last.
It was a shock to not see Tracii there, but Brent Muscat
(Faster Pussycat) and Keri Kelli lit up the place with their twin guitar
attack of killer lead harmonies as well and some impressive
solos. Phil Lewis is one of the best front men for any band that I have
seen live. He interacts with the crowd very well, and his vocal
performance was outstanding. Hitting all the notes, and belting out the
ballads.
The band played mostly rockers, and got people up and
banging their heads to their blend of LA Rock and Roll and Southern
California 80s metal. Everyone was ecstatic to see this band perform
again, each song ended with a big roar from the crowd. The guys got
everyone singing along, and putting their fists in the air.
Afterwards, the band stuck around to take plenty of pictures
with their fans and sign autographs. Phil is the nicest member of any
band that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Super friendly, and
acts like one of the fans. He hung around and talked with everyone, as
did everyone else in the band. And they were all willing to take as
many pictures as they could with each of us.
