Review Centre: Classic Rock Bands

"One of the best bands I’ve ever seen even though it’s not a professional band, they come as close as on gets."

"Are you ready for love at first bite?", asked vocalist Belladonna, alongside her equally frightening bandmates, Datura and Wolfsbane on lead guitars, Deadly Nightshade on bass and Violet Mandrakia on drums, all who had ventured out of their crypt tonight, to trick or treat us to some classic vampish covers. Van Halen's 'Runnin With The Devil' immediately gave Belladonna something to get her teeth into, as did Ozzy's 'Bark At The Moon', with an impressive dual guitar attack from the aptly named Wolfsbane and Datura, her poisonous partner in crime. Lead Guitarist Datura (aka Ezra) continued to flower, leading her undead pack on The Shangri-Las '(Remember) Walking In The Sand', before their "oldie, but a goodie", and Fleetwood Mac's, (Peter) 'Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown). An eclectic list of classics continued with UFO's 'Doctor Doctor' and even Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit' - both dispatched with frightening professional aplomb and a refreshing change from the standard covers that are churned out so often. "Any fans of Kiss?" asked MC Belladonna, cue 'I Was Made For Lovin' You', before another unusual stand-out, and a highlight for mine, Python Lee Jackson's (or Rod Stewart's for those of you that are a lot younger than me) 'In A Broken Dream'. Brilliant. The vampire banter continued, before Wolfsbane launched into the awesome opening riff of Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' (never tire of that one), although their vampish antics continued when they stopped during the intro of Blue Oyster Cult's 'Don't Fear The Reaper'. "What are we missing?" they asked. "More cowbell!" was the answer. Enter The Reaper (not The Sandman) on stage with trusty cowbell, although, seriously, this was another highlight of the set with great harmonies, spot on guitars plus some demon drumming from dear Violet. A special mention for the excellent Deadly Nightshade, who confided with me after the set that her bass guitar idol was indeed, the one and only Phil Lynott. Sadly, no Thin Lizzy in their set tonight, although from one girl band to another, The Vampirettes did salute The Runaways very own Joan Jett with 'I Hate Myself For Loving You' So pleased I wore my special edition Motorhead t-shirt on the night as they tore into Lemmy's 'Born To Raise Hell', with some more brilliant drumming from Ms. Mandrakia, before some 'Tainted Love', with Soft Cell's classic given the werewolf guitar treatment. And talking of Wolfsbane, "Lord" Alice Cooper's 'Poison' was the penultimate in the set, and despite pleads for "more", rather aptly Rainbow's 'Long Live Rock 'N' Roll', with a bit of audience participation and band intros, brought the night's proceedings to an end. A great set. Great content. Great musicians. Great fun. All in all a brilliant evening"

"Absolutely electrifying! This band turned our wedding reception into a full-on rock concert. Their high-energy takes on classic 70s and 80s anthems had everyone—from grandparents to the dance floor die-hards—on their feet non-stop. The guitarist's solos were pure fire, and the crowd interaction was spot-on. Booked them on a whim from GigHeaven, and it was the highlight of our big day."

"What more can I say?! This band literally fills my place (capacity 189 people). The guys in the band are a joy to work with whilst Millie ( lead vocalist) has a voice to die for! I'm now booking this spectacular band every 4 weeks and for all my special events. It's an absolute pleasure to host this amazing band! Looking forward to the next gig! 💙"

"Scott is a regular performer here and one of our favorites! Not only is he an amazing musician and has developed quite a following at our venue, but he is also very professional and incredible to work with. Even as a solo performer, if you close your eyes you might guess you're listening to a trio! Such full sound and always the highest quality performance. He's just THAT good! I would very highly recommend him."

"The Jersey Sure Cats performed at our wedding on April 7th, 2018 in Allentown, NJ and were absolutely awesome. The songs they performed were varied and their voices harmonize beautiful. Sam, the lead singer, has a fantastic voice and really made our wedding song, All of Me by John Legend, her own. I have received tons of compliments from my wedding guests on how great the band played and how they enjoyed the variety and tone of their music. The wedding reception was held in a small banquet hall and they played quietly enough that you could enjoy both their music and be able to talk to and hear others at your table. I highly recommend the Jersey Sure Cats for any type of gala. They are very reasonably priced, easy to work worth and best of all, an excellent band. Please don't hesitate to consider them as they are truly the BEST!"

They played a great variety of songs that went down a storm during the evening. Everyone had a fantastic time and were dancing the night away. Thanks Again. (10 / 10) "

"Oh what a night! Drove from Montgomery (about 1.5 hrs) to see this show. The energy was high and palpable throughout the entire venue which was SRO ! Rock Mob sounded great with clear voices and heavenly high notes, true arena rock from the 70's, 80's and 90's ! Band has a stage presence that will take you in and never let go! We sang and danced through the night to every song performed! Musicianship of this band is extreme, all of it's members are totally next level performers, thank you for the memories!. Kudos to their leader Jason Harlow and his phenomenal guitar skills, your music was heard across the Land of Oz! "
