A good sized crowd filled the Slice on a Wednesday for a big rock show featuring local talent and the big riff
s of Regina’s Black Thunder, Aug. 12.
I arrived as local punk/ alternative trio Advertisement were finishing a loud, abrasive, ferocious set of original musi
c which ended with writhing guitarist Adrian Sutherland jumping into the audience and thrashing away on his guitar and back on stage where he threw his shrieking guitar onto the stage leaving it to feedback before making way for alternative rock trio the Supervoid.
The Supervoid played their usual strong set of modern alternative rock along the lines of the Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins.
Black Thunder closed off the night with a plate full of massive guitar riffs straight out of the ’70s.
In addition to lots of Tony Frank’s riffs, they had innovative tempo changes, multiple guitar textures, a lot of energy and an unstoppable groove from bassist Dustin Wiebe and thunderous drummer Neil Lutz.
