SUMMARY:Heavy Metal Nite with Maiden Chicago and Lovedrive Chicago
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE BANDS \n \nFormed with a sense of natural synergy\, Maiden Chicago quickly evolved from a conceptual idea into a powerhouse tribute dedicated to “The Ultimate Iron Maiden Experience.” The band’s core instrumental lineup—Eric Babcock\, Gary Ingram\, Ralph Circelli\, and Dan Driskill—solidified in late 2010 after a legendary first jam session that proved their musical chemistry was undeniable. Following an extensive five-month search for the perfect “Air Raid Siren\,” the group completed their lineup with vocalist Bill Swanson in early 2011. Combining veteran musical proficiency with a deep-seated passion for the source material\, Maiden Chicago possesses a rare\, intangible stage energy that brings the spirit of Iron Maiden to fans across Chicagoland. \n \nLovedrive Chicago is the ultimate tribute to the Scorpions\, the German ambassadors of rock. Taking their name from the Scorpions’ classic 1979 album\, Lovedrive captures the look\, sound\, and raw energy of the band in their prime. Whether it’s the hard-hitting riffs of “Rock You Like a Hurricane” and “Blackout” or the legendary ballads like “Still Loving You” and “Wind of Change\,” Lovedrive delivers a “Sting and Blackout” experience you won’t soon forget.
