Last week I attended the first ever Rock the Rails hosted by the City of Leduc. I didn't expect the turnout to be that great, and I was very wrong.Not only were there some pretty great bands, the Skatepark was packed and there were several other activities.
Nine bands took part in a Battle of the Bands. The winner was a local group, California Lane Change.
They won over the crowd with two covers, Check Yes Juliet and The Middle, and with an original Stars and Swing Sets.
The had energy, stage presence and a huge crowd of girls screaming.
I met with them Monday night, and what I thought would be a quick 20 minute interview turned into a hour and a half.
These five guys are more than just a band, they are best friends.
With all the Will Ferrell movie quotes, different food combination explanations and debates about One Tree Hill and the OC, the time I spent with them didn't feel like an interview at all.
They all love music, sure they all love different types of music, but that's what makes a great band, different backgrounds.
These guys aren't in it for the fame or the fortune. They like music, hanging out with each other and having a good time, and that is what makes some of the best bands.
Joe, Kyle, Matt, Tyler and Kevin are talented guys who I expect to see a lot more of in the future.
Check out their Facebook group California Lane Change and become a fan to stay up to date with upcoming shows.
the drummer is cute.
