"Heroic Entertainment knows how to set up a good show! I didn't know what to expect at first when I walked in, but there was an aura in the place that brought out the best in everyone there! Heroic Entertainment truly capitalized on this and we all had a great time! Mike and I go WAY back and he always comes through when it's game time - that night at the El Mocambo was no exception! Looking forward to more opportunities to rock more stages across the city!!"

Lead Singer & Guitarist Adam Macciocchi Lancia Of Eighty Nine The Band-From Our Sunday.November.28th-2010 "Battle Against Cancer" Show At The El Mocambo(1st Floor)

 "Performing that night and the whole show in general was amazing. it was our first time playing in a smaller venue and it felt more intimate for Josh(Drummer) and I playing together and for the crowd. It definitely had a more chill atmosphere than the shows you do with other promoters and that was great. Just the whole show in general was awesome and we can wait to party it up again"

"The  guys were really cool to work with and Very welcoming, I felt like I didn't need to worry about anything except to give it my all on stage, which is NOT always the case.

Between there crew, the sound engineer, and Max(photographer) on taking pictures, they gave me no doubt in my mind that I'd do it all over again with the  guys!"

Rob Northy Singer/Guitarist Of  Viral Spiral-From Our Thursday.January.13th-2011 Show At The El Mocambo(2nd Floor)

"Heroic Entertainment is nothing short of heroic when it comes to serving local up-and-coming talent as well as the entertainment industry.  When I walked into the El Mocambo I was greeted by Mike and he knew my name, my last name, and the band I'm with.  I can't even remember all that!  When I needed assistance finding power outlets to tune-up, Mike himself was there to help.  When my band took the stage, Mike was there beside me to make sure everything was going smoothly according to my immediate needs.  As promised, sure enough, there was a photographer clicking away as soon as we started our first song!  That's the best way I can think of compensating a new band on the scene.  Like clockwork, there was a 1-song video and about 100 photos of our set sent to me the next day!  Jeez, why hasn't someone already done this type of thing for bands?!!  His photographer, Max is a great guy and is the first one I'll call when it's time for location/studio shots.  All in all, I'm looking forward to participating in the presentations Heroic Entertainment will be doing in the future.  This company has artists in mind and we wish it all the success for it's "heroic" efforts for this reason - after all, it's the artists that audiences are there to see.  So when a promoter shows that kind of top-drawer concern for the amazing talent cropping up in Toronto, we have to be thankfull!  Mike, you're setting a new standard for band promotion in this good country and I go pale when I reflect on the kind of heart you've shown us on our first gig"

[-January.16th-2011 At Lee's Palace Show Review-]

[Heroic Entertainment Presents: "A Night At The Palace"]

[Intro]

Welcome to the the blog review of our show "A Night At The Palace" that took place on Sunday.January.16th-2011. It was a amazing show, and a great time. Every single artist was at their best. It was a pleasure meeting each and everyone of them, and i can't wait to have the pleasure of having them play another show for us.
We are proud to say that we raised a great amount of money for Sick Kids Childrens Hospital, and they were beyond thankful for it. We would like to thank each band for playing the show for a great cause, and each fan that braved the cold to come have a great night of live music at Lee's palace. All pictures featured in this blog of our performers are from the show itself, courtesy of Max Portughes(www.PixByMax.Com)

[The Performers]

Kevin Martins(8:00)

Starting off our Lee's Palace show in the 8:00 spot was acoustic singer/songwriter Kevin Martins. Kevin brought his strong vocals to us and did not disappoint. He kicked off the show exactly the way we had hoped, and got everybody in the right mood for a great night of music ahead.  He did more then just play great guitar, and sing amazing music, he also kept the crowd chuckling with his great sense of humour. We were very happy to have Kevin Martins open the show for us, and you will definitely be seeing him at another one of our shows in the very near future!!
Contact Kevin Martins At www.MySpace.Com/KevinMartinsMusic or "Kevin Martins Music" On Facebook

Tallulah Darling(8:30)

Starting in the 8:30 spot was the all girl rock band Tallulah Darling, which consist of Elora Taylor on lead vocals/rhythm guitar, Dee Filc on bass/backing vocals, Alex Pearl on lead guitar, and for this show Brec filling in on drums as they look for a permanent female drummer. If you are a female drummer or know someone that is, follow the contact info below and give the girls a message. Tallulah Darling was lead by Elora Taylor's strong vocals, but you can't count out the catchy, up beat music put to her voice by Dee, Alex and Brec. Tallulah Darling played a fun, catchy set that wont be soon forgotten.

Killing Isaac(9:00)

Making there second appearance for Heroic Entertainment were the great guys of Killing Isaac. Joseph, Alex, Jason, Steven,  Robin returned after making there debut with us at our November.28th-2010 "Battle Against Cancer" show at the El Mocambo. Once again the guys put on an amazing show, and left everyone wanting more. The music was solid as usual, and the performance a grand one. One of the highlights of there set was lead singer Joseph Hero leaping up onto one of the window ledge's of the private rooms Lee's Palace has, which is over 8 ft. high. We love having these guys, and they always make it a good night. See you guys soon!!

Broken City Screams(9:30)

Bring in some hardcore to the show were the guys in Broken City Screams. Kyan, Jonny, Sean, and Ian. They brought a full and heavy set of hardcore rock. Each member had great stage presence, and it can be seen captured in virtually everyone of there photos. The guys will be at it again for us Sunday.February.6th-2011 at our "Showdown At The Rancho" show.

Dead Panorama(10:00)

Closing the show off in the 10:00PM spot were the trio, Brandon, Robert, and Adam of Dead Panorama. I would like to thank the guys for allowing each band to use there drum kit, as alot of bands are not always willing to do that. The show was able to go that much smoother, and all the set times stayed accurate due to this kind gesture. As soon as the music began from these 3 guys, you could tell they knew exactly what they were doing. A interesting sight to behold was when bassist Brandon Spray traded places with Drummer Robert Hyde and they performed a few songs like that. Just goes to prove how talented these guys really are!! We look forward to another show with them in the near future.

[--January.13th At The El Mocambo Show Review--]

 Another show, another great time!! Each performance was spectacular!! The crowd got bigger, and bigger as the night progressed and it was a great turnout. We want to thank each artist and every single fan that came out to the show. We would also like to thank El Mocambo staff members AD Goldsmith and Victor, and our friend Steph for helping us out by doing the doors for us all night.

[The Performers]

Caitlin Burgess (7:00)

Opening the show with an amazing voice was the very talented acoustic singer/song writer Caitlin Burgess. I can tell you not just from our point of view, but alot of people, including her fellow performers had nothing but good things to say about her. And we are told that one of her fellow performers are in talks with a possible collaboration, so that will be very awesome if it works out!! Caitlin sold copies of her CD at the show, and if you are interested in buying one yourself, you can contact her at the information I list below and ask her how you can go about doing so.

Sing Bandana Singh(7:30)

Sing Bandana Singh brought her strong, amazing voice to the stage in the 7:30 spot . Normally a 3 piece group with drums and bass, this show featured Bandana doing a solo act. With every song she sang, you could feel her passion for music come with it. Bandana had a solid crowd of friends to support her, and many new fans after her set was finished.

Batista Feat.Brizz(8:00)

Making his second appearance for Heroic Entertainment was solo artist Batista, this time performing his own songs with Brizz as his hype man. At our first show November.28th-2010 "The Battle Against Cancer" The positions were reversed. Batista & Brizz brought the calm, soothing feeling in the El Mocambo to a halt as soon as they hit the stage with there solid beats and vocals. Not many shows mix genres, but we here at Heroic Entertainment have no problem doing it, as we have seen the positive outcome each and every time. You can catch Batista & Brizz performing at the El Mocambo again Sunday January.30th for a charity event we are co hosting with Viki Ziemba. Visit our myspace and facebook page for more details!!

The trio that is Disputa were absolutely AMAZING!! Very good musicians, each member was amazingly solid on his instrument, including drummer Mario Garay doing the more rare task of singing and drumming. Playing guitar and singing as well was Omar Bruno, who also treated the fans to many amazing guitar solos. Solidifying a solid set was Brian Richards on bass, with rocking bass lines and lots of enthusiasm.

Viral Spiral(9:30)

The trio of Viral Spiral, Rob on vocals, Shawn on drums, and Jason on bass was a very strong set. Alot of the fans had the look of enjoyment on there faces as the guys in Viral Spiral did there thing. The sound that the group plays is the type of song that you can't get out of your head, and take my word when I say you will not want to get these one's out of your head, they are great!!
