Summerfest, Summerfest ... Summerfest!! This was a much anticipated event and TJJ was there as usual to bring you the inside scoop. Although gates opened at 7:30 pm, we bounced in at about 10 pm with our usual late selves, and my ohhhh my ... if you see people! We couldn't help but stop and gape a lil' bit. T&T truly has beautiful people yes.

The party was in full swing with the band 2U (tribute band to U2) performing first. They belted out hits like "Vertigo", "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Beautiful Day." Their performance was truly electrifying. Next up on stage was No Duh (tribute band to No Doubt) and wow ... we had to look twice because we swore it was really Gwen Stefani. Aside from the looks, that duet had the voice down to a "T" as well. They sung hit after hit like "Hey Baby", "Holla Back Girl" and the song everyone was singing along to "Don’t Speak." There was only one word to describe their performance ... Cool!! No Duh really set the mood right and there was still lots more to come.

Almost Queen (tribute band to Queen) was the third band to take to the stage. "We Will Rock You", "Another One Bites The Dust" and "Under Pressure" were just a few songs they performed. They really are the Champions!! So three down, two to go! Separate Ways (tribute band to Journey) came on at spot #4 with songs such as "Don't Stop Believing", "Anyway You Want It" and the heartbreak hit "Open Arms." It was definitely a performance we will all remember. Last but by all means not the least, Hells Bells (tribute band to AC DC) took to the stage. They shook us all night long with songs like "Hells Bells" and "You Shook Me All Night Long." It was a great performance, and thumbs up to that crazy guitarist ... dude you rock!!

During the 15 minute breaks Code 9, DJ from radio station 95.1 FM sent the crowd wild with some of our very own Soca music. We heard the best of Machel Montano and Shurwayne Winchester. You know how Trinis love our local music too!! :-) We also ran into two 95.1 FM celebrities Jean Ambrose and Nicole Gyan. Although 2U, No Duh, Queen, Separate Ways and Hells Bells were all tribute bands, they all could definitely pass as the real deal. It was a fantastic concert.

TJJ would like to say special thanks to Brandon of 95.1FM for taking care of us. Well with the concert pretty much coming to a close, we decided to hit the road at about half past 3. Until next time folks ...we gone again!
