Calgary born, Toronto based rock band Secret Broadcast and Calgary's Go for the Eyes broke in the new stage at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, May 23.
It couldn’t have been a better way to do it.
Secret Broadcast played a super tight set of modern rock along the lines of Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer and a lot of the Dandy Warhols due to their harmony vocals.
In addition to their own catchy, upbeat originals which had several people dancing in front of the stage, they played a few covers of Nirvana and Sloan.
Go For The Eyes are always fun to see in Lethbridge.
They were premiering their latest CD “ Fifteen Through Twenty” and played much of it as well as songs from their other CD.
Elise Roller stepped out from behind her keyboards and took centre stage to sing much of the lead vocals as guitarist Jeff Turner supplied big guitar and sang the other half of the led vocals.
Roller owned the stage, singing beautifully like a more soulful Deborah Harry while the band including bassist Scott Perrin and drummer Nathan Raboud provided tight rhythms.
They had a lot of soul and a touch of blues.
