SACRED DAWN - Thanks for Filling in on Saturday!

Just had to say, THANK YOU to Chris and Rob for invited our newly signed artist and Chicago native SACRED DAWN to be on the bill at the last minute when a couple of bands couldn't make the show.

I think they really connected with the crowd, after their set we blew through 30 CD's of theirs in about 5-10 minutes, and had several more people asking.

Lance beat alot of us to the punch on this. Sacred Dawn is a great band.

Yes, I agree.
Ha Ha!

It seemed there was some theory going around that the crowd would be disappointed that they would be replacing Chaoswave, which is why they were kept so secret on Friday night??
I don't know...I could be wrong, but that was confusing to me.
Either way...I'm glad they were so accepted by the crowd.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It was definitely a pleasure to be part of the whole experience. Absolutely the best crowd we've had yet. I hope we get to do it again next year. METAL!!!!!

Absolutely...agreement all the way around. Adding SD to the show made the Saturday night lineup even more exciting for me. You should have heard the people up in the balcony around me who had never heard of them before raving about them! I was glad to hold their places on the railing for them as I kept sending them downstairs to visit Lance's table to buy their copies of the cd. At the end of the night, they were all in agreement that of all the bands they saw that they had never seen before that night, SD was their favorite!! Congratz to Sacred Dawn and Nightmare Records!!
