Bay City Rollermania Internet Reviews

Pattie (Las Vegas, NV)

"I've been to the show twice. It's fantastic! As a longtime BCR fan I've seen several incarnations of The Rollers and various solo efforts over the years dating back to 1976. This tribute lineup far surpassed my expectations and brought back so many great memories for me and my friends. They really did re-create the "sound" that was captured on the records and brought new life to them at the same time. Each musician stands out in their own right and are all fabulous players! Top-notch band! I love the fact that they get the audience involved in the show.. They look like they're having so much fun up there. We had FUN with them! I might just have to go again.. I give it 5 stars!!! Stellar performance"

Lisa ( Hecktown, PA)

"I have been a fan for a long time .. i have seen posts about the shows at the Riviera , and everyone has been more than thrilled ! The guitar player is amazing .. Kyle's vocals are just beautiful !! If you're in the area, its a MUST see!!"

SinCityKitty (Las Vegas, NV)

"I have now been to 3 shows at the Riviera and I fully intend on going as many more times as I can. These guys are INCREDIBLE!!! They sound better than the original band ever did, they nail all the harmonies, Kyle Vincent sings like an angel (What a doll!) and the lead guitarist is smokin'!! I highly recommend catching a live performance, you won't be sorry!!!"

"Bay City Rollermania Returns!"

Riviera Las Vegas 3/8/08

On S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night - YES! A packed room of fans at The Riviera partied to all of the Bay City Rollers hits plus a few treats performed by the tribute band, Bay City Rollermania. The group looked and sounded like vintage BCR and entertained over the course of 17 songs (an hour and a half) at the Riviera in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The show began with a 70s video clip taking us on a trip down memory lane. The Pet Rock, Mood Rings, AM radio galore.. Bay City Rollermania launched into hit after hit song including "Rock N Roller", "Rock And Roll Love Letter," and "I Only Wanna Be With You" leaving the audience spellbound and cheering for more as each tune finished. Vincent took control of the stage with his charismatic charm and wonderful vocals while Joe Stefanelli rocked out like there was no tomorrow. A nice, soft moment in the show came when Vincent did an acoustic solo version of "Let's Pretend" followed by "The Way I Feel Tonight" with the full band returning. The show came to a close with "Yesterday's Hero", "It's A Game", "Bye Bye Baby" and the smash hit "S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

A must see show!"

Bio

BAY CITY ROLLERMANIA

1974 saw the emergence of the musical phenomenon known as the BAY CITY ROLLERS. Nothing like the Rollers had emerged since the Beatles, and nothing has emerged like them since. The level of hysteria aroused in their fans was incredible. Worldwide, Bay City Rollers concerts routinely became riots. According to England's New Musical Express, the Rollers were a "cult of vast proportions."

Something like one in four youths was a Bay City Rollers fan and they sold records by the millions. The Bay City Rollers are still one of Arista Records biggest selling artists, with 13 gold singles to their credit.

In 1975, Arista president Clive Davis used his intuition and selected an album cut he thought would sell in America. The Rollers and Arista were aided with top-notch promotion. The quintet appeared live on the premier of ABC- TV's "Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell." Davis' intuition was correct. The album cut, "Saturday Night," was their first U.S. chart topper. More hits followed: "I Only Want To Be With You," "Rock n' Roll Love Letter," "The Way I Feel Tonight," "Money Honey," and "You Made Me Believe In Magic" were all Top 40 smashes.

The Bay City Rollers soon had die hard tartan-clad devotees in the U.S. just like they did in the rest of the world. They performed on all the major television programs of the day, and were even hosts of their own NBC-TV series, which is now being shown in syndication.

The Rollers appeared on the cover of 16 Magazine more times than any other artist or celebrity. British rocker Nick Lowe wrote and recorded a catchy tune called "Rollers Show," which expressed the happiness in anticipation of a Bay City Rollers concert. Maddening Rollermania became the rule wherever the band appeared. Teenage girls routinely screamed until they fainted at Rollers' concerts.

BAY CITY ROLLERMANIA recreates the magic with former members of the BCR including Tommy Cosentino, Joe Stefanelli and lead vocalist Kyle Vincent. They continue to make new fans with their non-stop energy and enthusiastic performances of the Rollers' hits

The signs that Rollermania hasn't abated after all these years are everywhere...

Numerous Roller fan sites exist on the Internet.

The Hasbro Board game, "Trivial Pursuit" includes a Bay City Roller quiz question.

Comedian Craig Ferguson chose to use a BCR doll as a prop throughout the comedy, "The Big Tease".

Mike Myers landed the band in his film, "So, I Married an Axe Murderer."

Planter’s Peanuts put Saturday Night in a nation-wide television advertisement and the hit song was even included in the movies, "Heavyweights", and "Spirit Of '76."

The Campbell's Soup Company utilized the Bay City Rollers version of "I Only Wanna Be With You" for a V8 Juice commercial, released world-wide.

The popular sitcom "That 70’s Show" often used images as well as recordings of the BCR, while VH1 featured Ian and the Rollers in an episode of "Where Are They Now" and "Behind The Music".

Mentioned by name in episodes of "Friends" and "Buffy The Vampire Slayer."

The Rollers were an integral part of the story line in the movie, "Love Actually," while their #1 UK song "Bye Bye Baby" was included in the film’s on-screen soundtrack.

Touchstone Pictures included the song "Money Honey" during the promotion of their hit movie, "The Ladykillers" starring Academy Award winner, Tom Hanks.

In 2008, the crew of the Space Shuttle "Endeavour" were awakened by the BCR song "Saturday Night." The song was a special request for mission specialist, Garrett Reisman.

BAY CITY ROLLERMANIA'S ambition is to provide the world with excitement as they perform the pop hits of the Bay City Rollers, making every night an S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!
