Music fans in the city dubbed as “The Land of Funk” unearth the phenomenon known as Here Come the Mummies!

Oddbody’s Music Room was packed tighter than the tombs these guys crawled out of, and the early start time didn’t keep fans away from this rager that also included local favorites, Magic Jackson and McGuff and the Dumpster Fires. Tickets for the show sold out days prior to the event, but thanks to some very good friends, we copped a pair of tickets for what turned out to be a show for the ages!

RESTOCK Recap: Dayton’s Music Community Rocks for Charity

 The 2nd Annual RESTOCK Charity event benefiting the Dayton Foodbank and Helping the Homeless Dayton was an evening of great music and amazing generosity! Oddbody’s Music Room was buzzing with Dayton area music fans armed with boxes and bags of donations in support of two of the Miami Valley’s best charitable endeavors!

SHOW ALERT – Sebastian Bach Bringing “18 & LIVE” Tour to Oddbody’s Music Room

Sebastian Bach is one of Metal’s most recognizable voices. Best known as the front man and the voice behind Skid Row; Bach is still considered one of the best in the business. Skid Row’s self titled debut album became an instant classic when it hit the airwaves back in the late 80’s. Songs like “18 and Life”, “I Remember You” and the teenage anthem “Youth Gone Wild” remain fixtures on mainstream radio.

Following his success with Skid Row, Bach helped to form the super group “The Last Hard Men” featuring guitarist Jimmy Flemion (The Frogs), drummer Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins), and Dayton’s Kelley Deal (The Breeders).

Bach also has five solo albums to his credit including 2011’s “Kicking & Screaming” and his newest release called “Give ‘em Hell” which is perhaps Bach’s best effort to date. The album features great tunes like “All My Friends Are Dead” and my favorite called “Temptation”.

Bach and band mates Bobby Jarzombek (Drums), Brent Woods (Guitar), and Rob DeLuca (Bass) are set to invade the Gem City Thursday, July 2 when they confiscate Oddbody’s Music Room for the band’s “18 and LIVE” Tour. Joining in the mayhem are Dayton’s own Secret Circle Society and the power trio from Middletown called Wicked Fixx.

TICKETS for Sebastian Bach’s “18 & LIVE” at Oddbody’s Music Room are available now for $25 or $30 the day of the show. Doors open at 7pm and the bedlam begins at 8pm.
