THIS BRIT THREESOME IS DESTINED FOR GREATNESS!
by ChefMichael57 on 5/30/14THE KROCKOTHON MUSIC FESTIVAL / STATE FAIR GROUNDS - SYRACUSEI had heard the VIRGINMARYS for the first time the week their second album KING OF CONFLICT dropped in Feb of 2013. I loved the album and went to You Tube to check out their vids. The video for LOOKING FOR LOVE ( live version) was amazing. The song was off their debut self titled album from 2012. It was obvious that this fledgling band had a natural ability for the stage and now I was convinced this band was destined for greatness.I was now on a quest to see them live. The only opportunity to see them was at the Krockothon in Syracuse NY which was a 5hr drive from Jersey and involved 11 other bands. The VIRGINMARYS were the second band to play that day. ALLY DICKATY fronts the band with guitar and fierce vocals- DANNY DOLAN is the drummer extraordinaire - and MATT ROSE on bass. Together they put on an amazing show and I considered it a privilege to see these future superstars play the rookie slot at the festival. My only criticism- they didn't play my favorite song the aforementioned LOOKING FOR LOVE. My message to the guys- regardless of how short your set is- never cut LOOKING FOR LOVE- it's one of your best songs. MUCH LOVE!
