An original band gathering at the Star Central with an active crowd moving about between the music room, the pool table section and the main bar where they have Karoake on wednesday nights. On stage, the evening rolled in with 'Morning Tide' providing the early crowd with a crisp set of material. There was some Karoake action in the main bar with the band members from 'Filthy Divine' having fun with the song 'Love Shack'. Some good sideline entertainment for the wednesday night festivities. Dan, Mike and Shaun of ' B ! ' took to stage with a nice crowd of fans and new faces here taking in their rock-soul performance. Shaun brought out his hollow frame guitar at one point during the show with a response from a onlooking fan - "Awesome". They are working in some new material and have a 2003 CD called 'Degenerator'. The band 'Staija' has been on a roll lately with a well paced appealing energetic set which has attracted new fans. Met a few new fans that came down to catch some 'Staija' after seeing them recently on the TC Muzique cable program. A rather good time night for the bands and the fans that dropped by the Star Central this evening.
