STAYING IN TUNE WITH ROUTE69 PRODUCTIONS https://www.facebook.com/Route69-Productions-264289367414474 another fabulous showcase by Route69 Productions.  John Ward & Heather Brett-Roper strive to please the all ages audiences at The Rockpile with inspiring presentations. 


December 2nd, 2017 was another stellar show, featuring Toronto’s hard driving Demolition Rage. They brought their unique flavor to the stage, warming up the room while diving deep into their plethora of hits from their fortress of 2 original albums Murder by Numbers and No Room For Silence.  They entertained with crowd favorites Jack of Shadows, Take It Standing Up and Two Faced Smile just to name a few.  Their intense sound melded modern metal into traditional art.  Their progressive climb from a thrash metal dexterity to metamorphic metal is due to a new melodic vocal direction from frontman George Petkovski, who ranges from a guttural baritone tessitura into a high and dramatic stratospheric experience. They are a heavy guitar sound with electrifying chemistry.  Their incredible heavy grind from their bottom end drummer and bassist gives them a seasoned taste to that of Five Finger Death Punch meets Iron Maiden meets a commercialized metal sound of classic Pantera.  Guitar riffs in Crystal Drink, (the bands only instrumental piece) shows how expansive and trailblazing their sound is.  I do hear an extremely heavy Megadeth, Judiest Priest influence with a dash of Steve Vai with a South of Heaven feel by Slayer in their masterpieces.  Listening carefully I actually felt a Led Zepplin whisper and a slight Boston rock sense too.  Demolition Rage covers the best version of Rainbow I have ever heard, sure brings out the definite connection with DIO in George’s vocalist gifts.  They are working on their 3rd album, and performing on the March 10th COLD ETHYL Alice Cooper Tribute show at Rockpile (a Route69 Production Presentation).  Contact info@demolitionrage.com for your $15 tickets and rock on over to stay in tune at . www.demolitionrage.com



Everyday Hero lit the stage ablaze with a blended buffet of commercial and traditional rock n roll covers that got you moving on the dance floor.


 Like a time machine, their finely tuned replications of heavy 70s and 80s hits, 
brought you back in time as they blended their laddened guitar oriented pieces with a mild classic rock.  Their creative collaboration of hypnotizing metal standards from Guns and Roses, Sammy Hagar, Van Halen, Autography, Scorpions, Ozzy, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper into Aerosmith, April Wine, Pink Floyd into Cheap Trick and Lenny Kravitz were amazing.  This act represents a finely tuned engine that revs well together and is going places.  These seasoned professionals engage the all aged audience and leave you in a rock n roll frame of mind!  Perfect for any venue wedding or festival.  Performing on the Feb. 10th Whiskey Rose Tribute DIO show at the Rockpile.  Keep in tune at https://roygr4.wixsite.com/everydayhero11 


AEROFORCE is an authentic tribute in full dedication to Aerosmith. It is no wonder why AEROFORCE has performed for Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Aerosmith.  You can clearly see why they have even been hired by Aerosmith’s staff to appear at Aerosmith CD Releases and after parties.  Their look alike, sound alike and perfected stage maneuvres amazed the full house.  They truly entertained, nailing every execution, faithfully reproducing the spirit of Aerosmith.  “Tyler” Bob Gregory and Paul. G. Kramer brought together this Aerosmith tribute band for true Aerosmith fans. That first note I was nervous, anticipating with my eyes squinted shut, wondering, fearing, can he replicate, will he get that pitch, that scour that Steve Tyler is famous for?  Sure enough, Bob hit it
as he perfected each screech just like the Demon of Screamin’ himself, it became the real deal.
They presented emotionally fired up tunes and got me into hyper static mode with their version of Big 10 Inch, right into their rendition of I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing, Walk This Way, Living On The Edge, Love In an Elevator and those beautifully executed moments as Bob perfected identical harmonica sounds while honkin’ on Bobo.   My ride arrived, which took my breath away leaving me ‘Cryin!’ as I was sorry I had to miss the remainder of this full presentation.  Hop on the fast moving entity at http://aeroforce.ca
