The CityArts Toronto City Arts Rock Camp gave their first performance for the summer to the public on Friday July 9th, 2010. The five bands from week one displayed their exemplary talent, passion and hard work as they took the stage for the first time. The bands provided a wide variety of song performances from classic rock favourites to the debut of a metal original entitle “Torture Me Gently.” The line up included “Tofu Picnic”, “Walnut Face Machine”, “Beautiful Apocalypse”, “The Tone Deaf Bobsicles” and “Crust.” As each performance provided their unique style, it is safe to say there was a little something for everyone to enjoy. Tofu Picnic
The more experienced bunch of teens by the name of Tofu Picnic gave a brilliant opening performance with the classic “Sweet Child O’Mine” and their modernized Ray Charles / John Mayer piece “I Don’t Need No Doctor.” With song selections from different genres and different time periods, it was a perfect start to the City Arts Toronto Rock Camp concert. Walnut Face Machine
Don’t let the name fool you, Walnut Face Machine means serious business. They took the stage performing Jimi Hendrix's “Cross Town Traffic” and “Moon Age Daydream” taking the crowd by storm. The energetic group kept the momentum going and the audience on the edge of their seats. Beautiful Apocalypse
With a total of three pieces, Beautiful Apocalypse was beautiful indeed. The songs performed gave a wonderful range of sound and feel. Song's included Die Mannequin's Do It Or Die, Led Zeppelin's Rock 'n' Roll, and Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb Tone Deaf Bobsicles
The Tone Deaf Bobsicles was the high energy group that kept the audience toe tapping with the most high energy song selection and performance. Neil Young's anthemic Rockin' in the Free World was a highlight of their set! As the show came to a close, this was the ideal set up for the climatic end. Crust
The heavy metal band, Crust, brought the show to an epic close with “Superman’s Dead” and an original song closing the night, “Torture Me Gently.”
