A good sized crowd took in the annual Lethbridge Girls Rock Band Swap fundraiser at the Slice, Saturday, June 9.
The event mirrors the Lethbridge girls Rock camp (July 24-28 this year) in that a group of musicians meet, rehearse a couple times, ideally write a song together and play a set of music at the end of the week. Usually the girl
s learn how to play an instrument during the week as well.
For the fundraiser, several familiar faces formed bands with other experienced musicians and some talented newcomers.
Even I got up on stage to play with Bente Hansen, Adrian Sutherland and Amberlea Parker.
Input//output featuring Silvana Campus opened up the show playing bass and vocalizing.
The Front Doors played an eclectic set of alternative rock and ’80s hits including Corinna Thiessen bowing a saw, playing accordion, keyboards and an omnichord. They covered a-ha’s ’80s hit “Take On me” and INXS’s “Never Tear Us Apart”and “I Put a Spell on You.
Crooked Smile ended the show with a set of female driven covers (wither chosen by the females in the band or written by including some Tool and ended with some L7.
