Tour Alert: Blackrain and Sister

blackrain.jpgAttention: you need to introduce yourself to Blackrain. The European band is currently on tour with Sister. Both bands are basically awesome and definitely Glam.

Blackrain sound like a cross between Judas Priest and Motley Crue - and no, I'm not making that up. So, who are Blackrain? The Frenchman (yes! French) are: Swan (vocals), Max 2 (guitar), Heinrich (bass), and Iann Lewis (drums). I'm going to guess those stage names are close to the band members actual monikers. At any rate, it's pretty cool to say your name is Max 2 instead of just Max. Of course, I can't help but wonder "who is Max 1?" I digress.

I know a lot of my European friends like to click on this website from time to time - if you are in one of the above cities, I suggest checking out Blackrain and Sister. 

sister.jpgI've mentioned Sister before, but they deserve another plug.  My friends Sister are from the promised land known as Sweden. Home to all things modern Glam and IKEA, I feel a special connection to Sweden. Perhaps someday soon I shall get to visit the motherland. Again I digress.

Sister has some great tunes that feature driving bass lines and catchy lyrics.These boys more than look the part and yes, three of the band members have names that end in "i." Sister is Jamie (vocals), Rikki (bass), Dani (guitar), and Cari (drums).

For some unknown reason, Sister remains unsigned. Someone give them a recording deal!
