Rumors (11.26.04)
J-Lynn's Sports Bar & Grill
Shelby, N.C.
Rumors put on a heck of a performance. The night started out a little slow, and then the crowd showed
up. They have told me on more than one occassion, that they fed off of the crowd. They had the house rockin'. They
performed some of the new material, that they had been working on, since their last show. The song list included a lot
of great rock and country tunes, as well as their own. If you missed the show last night, then they will be there again tonight.
It is well worth the $5 cover charge. For more dates, check out the Calendar Page. Some pics will be on the Photo Album Page, so check them out, you might see yourself.
BAND REVIEW BY:
Steve Leatherwood
BAND:
Southern Junction (Concord/Charlotte)
Where:
LiveAtLeatherwoods Dec. 4,2004 in UpTown Shelby
Southern Junction was (as they are always) a crowd pleaser and a delight to the audience. If you love bluegrass,
you will love this band. SJ constantly varies their musical playlist to include new and classic as well as original
bluegrass music. This performance was no exception and along with the normal bluegrass favorites, they managed to include
no less than a dozen Christmas tunes, bluegrass style of course!. As a band, Southern Junction has received many top
honors at bluegrass festivals and events. Both Todd Shue (mandolin & tenor vocals) and Terry Shue (bass fiddle &bass
vocals) have been indivdiually recognized for their instrumental and vocal performances. Father, Bob Shue keeps a
solid
background going on his banjo, Eddie Carr saws a mean fiddle with his own unique "Orange Blossom Special" and Mack Watson
(guitar & lead vocals) flirts with the audience with his jokes, comic routines, solid lead vocals and great picking on
the flatop guitar. As a group, you probably would be hard pressed to find a more well-rounded and versatile bluegrass
band with this kind of personality and charm. Southern Junction is one of the few bands booked at Leatherwood's two
times each year because of their popularity with our regular audience. See them in 2005 on July 23 or December 3.
In fact, you need to see both shows since each will be as unique as they will be entertaining.
The Local Music Junkie would like to thank Steve for this show Review. Steve is the owner of the
finest Bluegrass venue in town. Check out the Calendar Page for Upcoming Shows at LiveAtLeatherwoods.

Review By: Gforce
Band: Omega Tribe
Where: Ireson's Pub, Bristol Tn.
details: Omega Tribe is a culmination of all
that is and was great about Heavy Metal. An old school approach to a new era of metal, Omega Tribes live shows simply leave
people shellshocked. Their stage presence is simply stated. The two guitarist and Bassist barely raising a head during the
live set. A true hunker down and anhialate the audience stance. Lead singer Pat is a towering individual standing in at 6'6'"
or so. On first glance seems to be just a simple ball cap wearin', Nascar lovin, monster of all that is southern, but then
the music starts and he stands tall as a true voice of metal dominance. The vocals are much more a part of the Music with
this delivary than a lot of metal you hear nowadaze. The Drums, (Scott), drive the music from begining to end along with the
bass allowing the 2 headed guitar attack to paint pictures of melodic terror. Imagine operatic Horror movie soundtracks that
will leave you in suspense and disbelief and you have an idea of what Omega !
Tribe brings to the table. Simply one of
the best Metal Bands in the scene and obviously a cut above some of the other acts.
Local Music Junkie would like to thank Gforce, of the band Euphorium, for sending in this show
review. Look for his band in the regional metal section. You will find a link to his site. Check it out.
