[February.19th-2011 At Marcello's Bar Show Review]

Our first out of town show was a blast!! We had a great time with friends, fans, and bands at Marcello's bar in Streetsville, Ontario!! Just a small line up change in the review below, the band TooNice had snowed in members and could not make the show, but luckily our friend and the lead guitarist for the group House Of Coconuts helped us out in the last minute situation and played a acoustic set of his own in place of TooNice. So a special thanks to him!! Also a big thanks to each and everyone who came out and made the night a great one!!

James Faulkner(10:00)

Opening the show in the 10:00PM spot was singer/songwriter from near by Mississauga James Faulkner. James brought a strong following out to watch him put on one heck of a performance. Without a doubt one of the best solo acts I have personally ever seen. James has a super strong voice and is a true talent with the guitar skills to complement his voice.Below is a clip of James playing live from the night of the show.

Bang Bang You're Dead(10:30)

Up in the 10:30PM spot was Bang Bang You're Dead. The band consists of Rob, Jake, TJ, Dylan, and Andrew. These guys brought a awesome rock sound, with lead singer Rob Coxford incorporating synth into the mix. The band has the strong 1,2  punch when it comes to vocals with guitarist Jake Chirico providing the secondary singing. Bang Bang You're Dead is a very solid band, and I urge you to definitely check them out if you get the chance. You can get a taste of what you will get live by checking out the clip below, it was recorded the night of the show.

Cecil Eugene(11:00)

In the 11:00PM spot was Cecil Eugene. We have to give Cecil a special thanks for playing for us since it was on very short notice. When we were informed that TooNice could not make it, we asked Cecil if he could swing a acoustic set for us, and he was more then happy too. So we extend a special thanks to him. If your wondering why he looks familiar, it's because he is also the lead guitarist in the band "House Of Coconuts" who often plays shows with us as well. If you are a fan of good acoustic songs, you are a fan of Cecil Eugene's solo music. It was a strong, upbeat, catchy set of well written music. Check it out for yourself below, it is a clip live from the show.

Broken City Screams(11:30)

Finishing off the show strong, with a solid performance as per always was the group of guys from King City. Sean, Jonny, Ian, and Kyan. The guys brought there hardcore genre with melodic vocals to Marcello's and did not disappoint. Everyone was into each and every song. The guys were so good that the fans demanded encore after encore, and Broken City Screams did not disappoint and dished out a couple more songs to a eager crowd.
