CityArts Rock Camp Summer 2010 Week 6 Concert Report

At on the CityArts Toronto Rock Camp on Friday, August 13th, 2010, seven bands took the stage in what was our final concert of the Summer 2010 edition of the Toronto Rock Camp.

Seals And Wales, The Wonderful World of (Book for Young Explorers) (SAWTWWOBFYE)

Just by simply reading their name, SAWTWWOBFYE, means business. With the power they bring in both performances of ‘Stay Away’ by Nirvana and ‘Cut Your Hair’ by Pavement its safe to say SAWTWWOBFYE is not only a force to be reckoned with, but they also guarantee you a smile. 

Vengeance  

Vengeance was one of the bands to write their own original songs.  The kicked off their set with “Vengeance”. They also performed “Cowboys from Hell” by -, which had everyone head banging along to the beat. This band had great stage performance while performing their song choices which really involved their song choices, metal may have not been the audience’s favourite music but they couldn’t help but join in.

James Town Commodities

James Town Commodities had great energy on stage during their performance of “Let It Be” by the Beatles and “Starlight” by Muse. They sent energetic vibes to the audience which had everyone singing along to a legendary favourite.

Dimension


                                                    
The six youngest members of week six teamed up to ‘woo’ the crowd with two of the greatest hits in rock history- ‘Highway to Hell’ by AC/DC and ‘Smoke on the Water’ by Deep Purple. It just goes to show that age is but a number.

Homicidal Sparkle Kitten

The Homicidal Sparkle Kitten’s gave the show its kick with their songs Sweet Dream by Beyonce and Superstition by Stevie Wonder. They went against the status quo and showed how diverse Rock Camp could really be- and did a wonderful job doing so. Way to go Homicidal Sparkle Kitten. The only thing these kittens killed us with was rock!

Baby Pharm Animals

Baby Pharm Animals were one of the bands to write their own original song which they titled “Liar”. Their rendition of “Jailhouse Rock” originally by Elvis Presley had the crowd rocking old school!

Serious Suggestion

Serious Suggestion shared their enthusiasm and liveliness with the audience when they performed their two song choices “More than a Feeling” by Boston and “Born to be Wild”. They brought a ton of energy to the stage with their great stage presence and connection.

This was the last concert of the Summer 2010 Edition of the CityArts Toronto Rock Camp.  In September we kick off a whole year of events, concerts, workshops and the CityArts Winter Performance and Recording Rock Program!   So for now, so long from our talented young rockers.  See you in September!
