Local, foreign rock bands merge for concert

The event featuring six local rock bands, an Aruban and Canadian band takes place tomorrow at Space La Nouba, South Trunk Road, Gulf View, La Romaine.

“This concert features six local bands, all who have made their own sound within these borders, some of which are flying the flag of Trinidad and Tobago high internationally,” said a media release.

LYNCHPiN, Incert Coin, The Supernormal Band, Alter Rootz, Goodnight Parliament and Bound to Oblivion are the six local bands on the cast. Aruban band This Will Be No More and Canadian Keychain are the two international participants.

According to the release, local band Bound to Oblivion was described as “some of the younger blood in the Trinidad rock scene” and as having what it takes to take TT further in the rock world.

Described as a band which merges TT ’s flavour with rock and roll, fans of Alter Rootz can look forward to hearing the band’s fused sound. “These four individuals have created a sound that encompasses a matrix of Caribbean music fused with the sounds of metal, hip hop, far and Middle Eastern influences. Recently they have come back from representing Trinidad and Tobago in Canada’s Club One Releases Showcase,” the release said. Local grunge-metal band Goodnight Parliament, it said, strives to push musical boundaries and blur the lines of musical genres.

The Supernormal Band, one of the five Wacken Caribbean Metal Battle finalists selected to represent TT in Suriname, will also perform at the concert. The release said, “This four-piece Trinidadian rock band was created in 2008 by founding members Andy Rambharat and Mitch Ramberan and is a melting pot of rock, kaiso, calypso and dancehall...” Described as local hard rock legends, Incert Coin, complete with its new members, will also be there. Fans might hear from the band’s fifth album, And in the end..s’all for naught. Rounding up the TT acts will be Wacken Caribbean Metal Battle finalist and winner, LYNCHPiN.

Another Wacken Caribbean Metal Battle finalist, This Will Be No More, who has toured in Suriname and Mexico, will be the regional act at the concert.

Keychain who has played over 200 shows in four countries this year, including the final night of Festival d’été de Québec (with Gorillaz, Of Mice and Men, etc.), Mexico with Crazy Town, and across Canada with Nothing More, Hed PE and The Devil Wears Prada; will perform some of its hits for attendees.

Tickets are available at various malls.
