Get out there and see a live band on Halloween!

Last Saturday night we went out to see some live entertainment and we loaded up the car with friends and family. When we go out, we try and see as many new bands and live acts as we can, but when people are with us they often want to see specific things. So all the bands we watched were the second time around for us, but it was still a lot of fun. As it !turned out, all three bands were completely different and we ended up seeing 80’s/90’s rock, country, and dance and R&B all in one night!

The Rayz

The first band we caught was The Rayz at Firehouse 47 in Ottawa Lake. The Rayz are a 4 member band that plays 80’s and 90’s classic rock. As a matter of fact, they started the night out with “Panama”. The Rayz are a lot of fun, and they play a lot of songs you don’t see many bands do. Here’s some pictures we took of the guys while we were there:

You can visit The Rayz MySpace here.

Bandera

Next we went to see Bandera at Dave’s Hideaway Lounge II on N. Detroit Ave. Bandera is the house band at Dave’s Hideaway in Toledo - you can see them there every Friday and Saturday night. Whether you like country music or not you owe it to yourself to see this band at least one time (if you haven’t already). It’s one of the few bands you’ll find where each and every member sing lead vocal (and equally as well). They play a bit of something for everyone too, from modern country, to classic rock, classic country, and more. We didn’t take any pictures this time around (the dance floor was packed), but visit the Bandera MySpace profile to see pics and listen to the band.

East River Drive

Last we wound up over at Club Soda to see East River Drive. East River Drive is a 6 member band, and the best way to describe them is it’s like seeing a Vegas show. They play dance, pop, rock, R&B, Soul, and more everytime they hit the stage.

Here’s a couple of videos from the show as well:

Can you tell there was a Halloween party at Club Soda last Saturday? Next time your out, East River Drive is a sure fire bet for a great show and a good time. Visit their web site, their band profile page here on T-Town Sound, or their MySpace profile!

At least for the last Saturday in “Rocktober” it’s not rainy like it was last night. Cold, but not rainy! There’s always more to do and see on Saturday than Friday, and there are always more people out - because some of us are so tired after working all week we fall asleep on the couch on Friday! Good thing I rested up because there’s plenty of things to do tonight!
