This Weekend at Steve's Backstage Pass

Friday, Feb. 27th - Gunpowder Gelatine (Queen tribute) with 1977.

Gunpowder Gelatine, the world's only all-female Queen tribute, was conceived in 2005, as the brainchild of life-long Queen fans Allison Sigrist (bass) and Kelly Davis (lead vocals). Audiences will be fascinated by the unusual character of this band. The members of Gunpowder possess a great command of vocals and pay a powerful homage to very popular ‘70’s and 80’s band known for its musical diversity. It is uniquely refreshing to hear classic Queen songs enhanced with rich female overtones.

Sigrist proposed the creation of the band to Davis in 2005 and it took two years for this “crazy idea” to come to fruition. Nonetheless, in September of 2007, Sigrist and Davis, along with Nancy Galluzzo (drums), Kate Dobroth (keyboards) and Julie Perron (guitar), plunged into Queendom and debuted to a thrilled packed house at the first annual Big Moves Queen for a Day show. The opening date (September 5 th ) coincided with former Queen band vocalist Freddie Mercury's 61st birthday.

Gunpowder’s love for the music and dedication to replicating Queen's live sound leave every audience they play to begging for more. You can visit their website to preview their music at: www.myspace.com/gunpowdergelatinemusic.

The band 1977 opens for Gunpowder and performs the best of punk, new wave and glam; not the radio hits from the punk/new wave era, but the really good stuff from seminal acts like The Clash, Elvis Costello, Devo, Joe Jackson, Television and anybody else who was making great sounds in the late 70's.
Cover $5. Doors open at 7:00 PM; Show starts at 9:00 PM

Saturday, Feb. 28th - The Rose Wharf Band (Grateful Dead and beyond)

The Rose Wharf Band has always been one of the most popular bands in Taunton. Now with their new selections from the Beatles and Tom Petty, and some new Grateful Dead tunes, their dedicated audience has a lot to be happy about. Their following beams with pleasure and respect for the music and then they are up and jumping, swinging to the music. We would describe The Rose Wharf Band as an excellent Grateful Dead tribute, if their repertoire didn’t include so many other great selections. We would describe them as a great cover band if their musicianship didn’t elevate the covers to such an impressive degree.
Cover $5. Doors open at 7:00 PM. Show starts at 9:30 PM
