MC'd by my good friend Larrie Blancher (13 Aces) the night was kicked off with a great young local band called Flawed Design who cranked out some very cool cover tunes much to the crowds delight. They did a wicked job considering their young age and they showed no fear on the relatively large stage.
Next up was crowd favs Sweet & Innocent who (in keeping with the event theme) dawned their 80's rock apparel (wigs and all) and shredded through some classic 80's cover tunes. The throngs of 80's music fan ate up every minute of it! and the boys were in fine form.
We (Syre) were headlining the show and by the time the opening acts were done the crowd was well oiled (wink...wink) and ready to rock! We were hyped for the show and ready to tear it up like we always do...after a short delay getting on stage due to some last minute monitor issues, we were ready to go once our intro tune Poison's "Nothin' But A Good Time" ended and the lights came on. We turned up the heat rockin' though all of the old fav Syre tunes and few classic cover songs for good measure. Rob Maceachern was on the drums and did a wicked job considering the short notice (1 week) and he added an energy to the Syre's sound only Rob can create.
By the end of the night the beer was running low (both back stage and out front..lol)....the music fans were thrilled and a lot of money was raised to fight Cancer. A big thanks to the organizers of the event as it went off without a hitch and I am looking forward to next years event being even bigger and better (if that is possible...).
