A few days after returning home from our long voyage at sea, a few friends convinced me to go to a concert with them in Atlanta. I have always had the philosophy that there is no harm in seeing every band at least once. Plus after being a part of team that had just finished working on five back to back festivals it seemed like it was my turn to just stand still and enjoy the music.

So just a few days after returning even though I was still rocking side to side and exhausted, I headed to the Masquerade to see Bang Camaro. I learned very quickly that they are a rock band that is like no other. Now you have to be wondering what could be so different about this rock band. Well let me tell you it is the mere fact that this rock band has anywhere from 16 to 30 people performing with them at their live shows. Don’t believe me then check out this video http://www.bangcamaro.com/video2.asp They even allow people sign up on their website to be a member of the choir when they are on tour. I had a rockin time at their show and just thought it was hilarious that you could not even tell where the choir ended and the audience started.

Well two months later with the memory of the crowed stage and good times at the Bang Camaro show, I found out that Bang Camaro is going to be joining us on The Simple Man Cruise 2009. So I am here to give all you Skynyrd fans and Sixthman friends a recommendation to check these guys out onboard! Also just a heads up that they are scaling back the band and only bring 16 members along so maybe if you are lucky you can become a member of Bang Camaro!!
