Tantric Tickets

WOW WOW WOW !!! I was very skeptical about seeing Tantric in a small rural barn. (Sarver, PA) But Peter B's Barn was great, very nice, clean & great service. Seeing Tantric in a small venue ended up being unbelievably fantastic. We were right there with the band the whole time. Tantric is a great band with awesome sounds. Each member has their own unique technique & are GREAT musicians. I especially like the violin player

Tantric was fabulous!! We were so close to the stage since it was a small venue. They sounded great and I would see them again anytime!

The show ROCKED! Our front row seats got moved to make room for a pit, but it didn't matter because it was more fun to walk around and be able to get in front of any part of the stage. Tantric blew the roof off, and stuck around to hang out after the show!

The show was great, the place was great. Met Ed the owner. He was a very cool cat.

I have waited a few years to see Tantric, they are one of my most listened to bands. Hugo has a great raspy voice and the electric violin is great. Tantric was very good, interaction with the crowd was good...

The band was good. Played good songs. The sound was awful though. The lead singer was barely audible a good part of the time.

This show was great! Hydrosonic(1st band that played) rocked out like always! Tantric just rocked there whole set! Even free jager shots for the whole crowed! Thanks to record label pres.! Also managed to get Hugo Ferreira's(Lead Vocalist) autograph on there new cd(Mind Control), as well as lil kiss on the cheek! l Lol! Loved the show and Firestone is an awsome venue for this kind of event!

Piere's did an amazing job hosting TANTRIC. All the bands were great but of course Tantric was the best. It was definately worth the money and the 3 hr (total) drive.

A band that once had one of the number one hits in the country puts on a show at a low rate bar in dowtown Detroit and no one basically showed up and they rocked the house like 10,000 people were there. I can honestly say that Tantric played a show for a group of probably 40 people and they came out and rocked it anyway. They had an opening act called Aranda and they deserve a huge mention, because for someone who has been to over 200 concerts it was one of the best opening shows I have seen. Huge credit to those guys for putting out such an effort to please such a small crowd.

Though the crowd was on the lighter side @ 20th Century Theatre, the folks that remembered how cool Tantric is, showed up and gave alot of love to the boys from Louisville! They truly delivered the sweet vocal harmony that we know them for!

Tantric performed with tremendous energy, played a lot of songs from all of their albums, all of the fan favorites and even broke out some classic old ones and brand new ones from their newly released album. They played so clearly it sounded like the recording and Hugo's voice was AMAZING live. On top of that EVERYONE in the band was super nice and came out after the show for autgraph signings and to drink with the fans. They were unbelievable. Definitely one of the better shows I have been to.

Tantric was awesome. They know how to rock out...love the violin.

Tantric put on a good show for a small but enthusiastic crowd. The Alaskan rock scene must be a little starved for entertainment, because there was a small mosh pit for most of the show. Not really what I would have considered Tantric's scene, but they seemed amused. The band itself seemed tight, although a little disorganized between songs at times tuning and changing guitars. They might not have had their full crew with them. Lead singer was good with the crowd, even playing a decent versian on the keyboards of Journey's "Faithfully" during a lull in the rock action. Funny stuff. He even crowd surfed one time, although not too far out because of the sparse crowd. The drum and bass were tight, and I liked the way they layer the electric (flying V!) violin in with the guitar. Played all their hits.

Over all this was a good show. I've been to orchestra concerts, dances, Kenny Loggins, plays, various sit down and standing performances but this was my first true rock show. Being my very first rock concert, I didn't have a lot to compare it to besides here-say and movies. However, I know good or bad music when I hear it. And I know a good crowd turn out or not when I see it. Now I'd had some hope for the opening acts since both, especially Mudpuppies, has had a lot of good local reviews and you hear a lot about them on the radio. Unfortunately I was seriously disappointed. Mudpuppies were not equalized and were having other serious equipment and sound issues. As a result they came across as a poorly organized Nervana want-to-be garage band group. They were so bad that I actually borrowed my "date"'s industrial earplugs while they were playing. The second opening act was a huge improvement. They had an amazing guitarist and wonderful instrumentals. The night started looking up. Then their lead singer opened his mouth. I can only describe his voice as a sick cat having his tail slowly crushed under a rocking chair. It didn't help he was running about the stage like a crazed monkey. His movements seemed so jerky and forced, he looked like he was having mild seizures. I honestly feel this band has a lot of potential... if they replace their lead singer. I was leery after how poorly the opening acts played on how Tantric would sound. There are many bands that sound great in the studio but horrible live. The first song they played left me excited and seriously impressed. Their music sounded different then it does recorded, but still good. They were well timed and in tune with each other, even teasing and playing around with each other on stage without interrupting the music. Their lead singer has a wonderfully growly, deep voice and an excellent stage presence. He could move about and interact smoothly and naturally, playing to the crowd well. The lead guitarist was also a camera hog, but in a good way, also playing to the crowd and striking many awesome poses for the various photographers. Their violinist, the not as much into the crowd, was defiantly into his music and a real treat to watch and hear. I actually felt sorry for Tantric though, having to play to such a poor turn out. The room was not even a fraction filled and many of the fans were completely wasted before the opening acts were completed. For an all ages show, there was indeed fans from across the age board. I saw several children under the age of 12 as well as two very elderly couples. In that respect it was a good mix though with so many drunks, i was a little worried about the younger portions of the crowd. Though incredibly small, the crowd responded well to prompts from the band and tried their best to be enthusiastic. Unfortunately they fell short. Only one mosh pit that lasted no more then a few seconds, no dancing to speak off really and only a small portion right in front would jump and wave their arms in the air. There was some crowd surfing though, but again only in one small pocket area. Despite the small turn out, Tantric was good to it's fans, signing autographs after the show. They took the time to talk with the fans, joking and dispensing good will all around.

The show was awesome and Tantric brought the house down!!!!!

The two local warm up bands were good. Nice to see local talent get a swing. Tantric put on a good show put only played a litle over an hour. There were only about 1000 people at the show and the Denania center is a concrete box so sound is less that stellar. Not bad but probably would have been better at the Egan center of a club setting.
