FIT FOR A KING – NORTHLANE – LIVE – AT THE PALLADIUM
By Donna Marie Eriquezzo
It was a snowy, dreary Saturday in March, but that’s ok because I am headed to the Palladium in Worcester, Mass to see Fit For A King. We arrived fairly early to meet up with friends and already a very long line was wrapping around the block. There is anticipation and excitement in the air, this is going to be one helluva show!
The Palladium was packed and the crowd waited in anticipation. Not to disappoint, first up on the stage was Kingdom Of Giants from Northern California. These guys hit the stage hard and heavy. The band consists of Julian Perez on keyboards, Max Bremer on guitar, Levi Norris on bass, Dana Willax on vocals, Red Martin on guitar, and Truman Berlin on drums. These guys wowed the audience!
Next up on the stage was a band called Alpha Wolf who hailed all the way from Australia. The band had the crowd going nuts and crowd surfing away. Alpha Wolf consists of vocalist Lochie Keogh, bassist/backing vocals John Arnold, Sabian Lynch on rhythm guitar, Scottie Simpson on lead guitar, and Mitch Fogarty on drums. Theses guys were amazing, heavy and melodic, and they had the crowd amped up!
