Spring time festivals are always a surefire way to get myself, and fellow concert goers in the mood for a gig-filled summer. Local promoters, Prairie Fire Events LTD., whipped up a wicked line up of bands to play both the Starlite Room and Brixx Bar & Grill over the weekend, hosting only the finest in western Canadian metal, as well as a number of international touring bands, including the lineup of this year's Metal Alliance Tour.
Despite only covering day one of this year's SHREDMONTON festival, I had a great time! Spending my time in the Starlite Room to catch Friday night's entertainment, courtesy of Disciples of Power as the evening's headliner, followed by the talented likes of: Quietus, With Malice, Calgary's Train Bigger Monkeys and Tylor Dory Trio, who, gradually, all had the house rockin' from wall to wall until the night was through, coining the debut of SHREDMONTON on the western Canadian metal festival scene.
