There’s a snow storm happening in Toronto and what better time to escape then by heading to Miami for the eighth annual Monsters of Rock Cruise? Spending 6 days on a luxury liner in the Caribbean sounds quite appealing in and of itself, now add 40+ rock bands and stops on two private beaches (one on Coco Cay in The Bahamas, the other on Labadee in Haiti) and you’re living and partying like a rockstar for a week.
The cruise boasts non-stop concerts from morning till late in every venue the ship, Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of The Seas, has to offer. Time to pull out the schedule and decide which shows I want to catch tonight…. There are so many events and concerts that you almost have to plan your day around what shows you want to see, and it’s near impossible to see everyone you want. Luckily though, almost band performs at least twice over the week.
Day 1 included a headline set by Tyketto, along with killer shows by Pretty Maids and Autograph.

The eighties pop sensation Bananarama was in town last Friday night and it was another sold-out show at The Danforth Music Hall. With fans gravitating towards the front for a better view of the band and its original lineup who took quite a while to make it here; this was their first ever show in Canada!
The trio of ladies that the Guinness Book of World Records called “the most successful girl band ever”, sounded fantastic. I think the crowd would agree with me, judging by the way that everyone was dancing to the music.
Bananarama’s Setlist:
01. Nathan Jones
02. Robert De Niro’s Waiting
03. Rough Justice
04. Aie a Mwana
05. Cruel Summer
06. Trick Of The Night
07. Shy Boy/Boy Trouble
08. Really Saying Something
09. Cheers Then
10. Stay
11. Preacher Man
12. I Heard A Rumour
13. More Than Physical
14. I Can’t Help It
15. I Want You Back
16. Venus
17. Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye
18. It Ain’t What You Do
19. Love In The First Degree

Three world class guitarists — and even beyond the realms of intergalactic boundaries as far as the music that exudes from their guitars is concerned — performed at Toronto’s Massey Hall last week. Joe Satriani brought his G3 tour through town, accompanied on stage by Phil Collen (of Def Leppard), as well as John Petrucci (of Dream Theater).
These guitarists make their instruments absolutely sing on an individual level, but get the three of them playing together at the same time, well, now you’re talking pure magic. Each musician played an individual set show-casing their unique styles of playing. Phil Collen with his band Delta Deep started the evening off with some real southern fried blues. It was down and dirty, raunchy and GOOD!
Next on stage was John Petrucci with his band for a set of incredibly technical heavy metal; headbangin’ and kick-ass rock tunes were to be had! And then came Joe Satriani! The sounds that come out of this man’s guitar are nothing short of amazing. I swear there were moments when I heard the guitar singing to him, with a human voice.
Finally, all three guitar virtuosos hit the stage together to a standing ovation. When they played together, accompanied by Debbi Blackwell-Cook on vocals, it was sheer joy in the faces of the crowd.

01. Quadrant 4
02. Yo 2 Joe
