I have had the benefit of transacting with almost all of the members of the 80's rock cover band Metalhead.  My son's mother (and still a best friend) plays in a band herself and has been dating the bass player for years (several).

Last week, Jessica/ex-ica, thought it would be a good idea to head out to see them... to blow off some steam.  As I'm closer to 40, I was a bit hesitant but she assured me that the crowd there (and there was definitely a crowd) was all ages and very cool.

So, on Sunday, one of the last ones left before my boys head back to school, we headed out to Martini Ranch, in Scottsdale, AZ to see the MOST AMAZING SHOW I have ever seen put on!

  • Light show (Thanks to Robert Kagnoff who handled the light switch equipment like he was playing a sophisticated instrument of his own)
  • Sound technician (By the time I met him I had quite a bit.  I think his name was Pat and he made the sound incredible)
  • John Colby - Bass
  • Gary Sanchez - Drums
  • Robert Mason - Incredible range on this singer
  • John Bronson - Guitar

metalheadThese guys rocked it out!   Many of those in the crowd appreciated the music of Def Leppard, Cinderella, Poison, Guns N' Roses, etc. (Playlist)

It was like going to a concert and hearing the best of the best groups without having to hear the filler songs on the albums.

If you appreciated the music put out by the 80's rock bands (they did have catchy music) then you would definetely appreciate going to Metalhead and taking a break from it all.  If you're visiting Arizona, make sure to see them!

OK, here's the question.  Where is Martini Ranch?  What is it?  I've never heard of it and I've lived here since 1983!  I do remember I liked Def Leppard.  (back then...)  Maybe I need to get out of my cave more often.  LOL!

Gary - I hadn't been in quite some time.  Was a blast and the people that go are out to have a good time, rather than show-off or impress so it was a really great time.

Doreen - Martini Ranch is in Scottsdale just off of Drinkwater between Camelback and Indian School.  I plan on taking some clients out there more often.  Was a great show!

OK, I am a fan of 80's hair bands...Shhh, don't tell anyone (LOL) I have never heard of these guys, do they go on tour outside your area? I think they would be fun to see and maybe even take my kids to.

They get paid very well out here because they are great.  Huge following.  Their other band, The Chadwicks just played Summerfest.

It doesn't matter if you were or weren't a fan of 80's hair bands.  The tunes were catchy so its a pretty good show.  Thanks for stopping by.
