AUBURN – Fans of 1970s classic hard rock band AC/DC can revisit those head-banging days Saturday, Feb. 18, when the Midnight Blues Club and Restaurant hosts Back In Black. Tickets for the tribute show are $20 and include a buffet from 6 to 8 p.m. The show will begin at 9 p.m.
The Black In Black tribute band is a high-energy reproduction of a concert performance by AC/DC. All members of Back in Black are experienced musicians dedicated to capturing the power and excitement of AC/DC. Their shows include the best material from renowned band leaders Bon Scott and Brian Johnson.
Back In Black was formed in 2001, by former LA band-mates Mike Mroz and Darren Caperna. Mroz recognized the potential of the band when he realized Caperna’s uncanny ability to transcend the spirit of both Scott and Johnson into his voice. Drummer Jay Benzi, guitarist Mike Wagner and bass player Taylor Smith lend their impressive musicianship and vocals to the band. The band has created quite a buzz within the rapidly expanding tribute-band industry.
Back In Black has performed fat the Bone Bash in Fort Worth, and has been recruited by Sony Music, AC/DC’s new record label, to promote catalog sales. 20th Century Fox has chosen Back in Black to record the AC/DC’s classics, “A Long Way To The Top” and “TNT” for two movies.
The band has performed with Warrant, Cheap Trick, Foghat, Bad Company, Jackyl, Blue Oyster Cult, Grand Funk Railroad, Head East, Seven Mary Three, Cardboard Vampires, Living Colour, and Vince Neil of Motley Crue.
The Midnight Blues Club and Restaurant is at 34 Court St. FMI: www.3clubs.com.
