Dancing Shoes On, Laces Out

Laces Out is a band from southwest PA who covers hits from the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Last night I had the chance to check them out at a local restaurant and bar in Charleroi, Pa called The Riverhouse. This place has great food, lots of space and TVs to watch your favorite sports.

The band consists of some people I've known for years. Wayne Brown is the lead vocalist. Bill Huffman is on the bass and sings as well. Ray Rossi is lead guitar. Chris Huffman is on guitar and vocals too. Their drummer is Dennis DiNardo.

They started the night with Wayne singing Billy Idol's "White Wedding" and that really set the tone for the night. They busted out some Sublime, which I love, and other 90's tunes from bands like Eve 6 and Blind Melon.

I was most impressed by their cover of "Lonely Boy" by The Black Keys. I've seen the keys live twice and to cover them so well is something that is not easy to do.

Switching vocals for certain songs really gives the band more diversity. Bill sang AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" and The Outfifeld's "Your Love" and hit every note.

Chris really impressed me by singing Kings of Leon and Neon Trees. Two bands that have very unique vocals.

Wayne, Bill and Chris came together to sing the Foo Fighters "The Pretender" and really rocked it.

My favorite part about Laces Out is their originality. They all have great personalities and know how to have a good time. You can see that by looking at their hilarious band photos on their Facebook.

If you're looking for a band to really get the crowd dancing and singing along, this is the band for you. They not only have the musical ability but they are all around entertainers. For booking check out their social media including their Twitter.

If not, check them out at the Friendship Lounge in Richeyville in a few weeks!
