But wait, there is more...from Winnipeg we have Nocturnal Divinity an Alternative Gothic Rock female fronted band-with the hauntingly beautiful voice of Carly Iskierski, think something along the lines of Evanescence, Look for their national tour coming this summer 2008...see them here first!and topping it off we are fortunate to have The Kettle Black from Vancouver-Experimental Punk Folk musician, who is a marvel to behold, see him here prior to his North American Tour in the summer of 2008.

Wow!! Allow me to be the first to say that tonite was an incredible example of what talent lies in this city.
The line up:
Perdition
This was my first time seeing them, but str8 out...these guys hit the stage with a fast and furious energy that I haven't seen in a long time. Very cool to see....can't wait for the next unleashing
Broken Army
First time seeing this band too, but was totally surprised. I was asked to video tape the last 2 songs, but kicked myself after for not shooting the whole set.... fuck I'm stupid!........Note to self..........
Coda
Great show as always. and as a player of the keys myself...I dig this band big time....Love them every time....
And finally....Nocturnal Divinity...
I was really surprised by ND....I haven't seen them before, but they've got me as a new fan for sure! Love the guitar, and melodic tempos....and their new song (I forget the title) was awesome!
Anyway...I and many other faithful rocked our asses off!
later...... - Vince Krochak

heck of a night and had a blast on stage too!


Integrity Lost: first show jitters got a hold of a couple of us but we managed to pull off what i think was a damn good set ....tx for the props of stage everybody check out our myspace and we'll try to get some recordings up soon..

Nocturnal Divinity: Man your myspace clips don't do you justice last night was awesome tight and a welcome auditory experience now where the hell is my cd!!!!!

Xplicit: Heavy, driving hooks out the ass! dug the entire set and loved the vox man once again ....where the hell is my cd!!!!!

The Hearsemen: You guys got a Don Caballero meets The Smalls thing going for ya...not entirely my cup of tea but the time changes and keeping those together kept me listening regardless Kudos on the set and any future endeavors.

Now, thats what i thought..... how bout the rest of you's guys!? - Anonymous

Ok, the show tonight was great! Everyone there had a wicked time! The bill was solid.

Nocturnal Divinity... their 2nd show together. I gotta love the female fronted local bands cuz there aren't a lot of us out there. She had a gentle but dark and mysterious rock out approach that I liked, and a great tone. They had a song called "midnight rain" that had an awesome chorus melody that I wish I wrote.

Still Village... one of my fave acts. If you haven't seen them, you're retarded. Very Happy Seriously though, we've played with them quite a few times and they are always tight. I don't really know what to say except it was nice and loud, and I was up at the front loving every minute of it.

Domenica... I thought we played a pretty killer set. We seem to be on a roll (knock on wood) with playing solid shows. Except for the fact that Kurtis (bass) kept unplugging me when he'd stomp on my cords ...luckily Ellefson was right up front pluggin me back in every time. Thanks man!

Forgetful Jones... I used to go to Velvet Pill shows a lot. I've seen J. Williamez quite a few times, too. Forgetful Jones was GREAT. I loved it. I suggest everyone reading this go and check them out if you haven't already. They have a unique, heavy sound and as a band, are very tight. I really liked the way they structured their songs, too.

This is my review and it rules. - Bekki Friesen

When my friend and fellow perennial audience member Carly said she was forming a band, I admit I had my doubts. They were erased in the first verse of Nocturnal Divinity’s first song. Carly can sing, and with a couple members of Inwolven backing her up, ND can and will turn some heads. - Clay Mercredi

What I would consider Amazing Goth Metal! Fronted by the lovely Carly Iskierski (Vocals), the band consisting of also Matthew Toews (Guitar), Brian Layer (Bass/ Vocals), Mike Milner (Keyboard/Vocals) and Frank Molnar (Drums). I think of them as Winnipeg's answer to either Nightwish or Lacuna Coil, and they deserve recognition for the work they do.
