Pat must have had butterfingers, because the stick went flying in the air.

At one point in the show, drummer Pat Gerasia had lost one of his drumsticks. Their performances of вЂњLeft for Dead,вЂќ вЂњDeathwish,вЂќ and вЂњEmotionlessвЂќ were some of the favorites of the night. There wasnвЂ™t a single moment where fans were disinterested in the performance because the band was always sure to engage with the crowd, no matter how hard they were jamming on their instruments. Ryan Williams, one of the guitarists, would flash a smile at fans sitting around him, including myself, and always tried his best to pose for fans trying to capture photographs to reminisce on this night they were sure to remember. Mike always made sure to interact with the crowd as he sang he would lean down closer and closer to the fans, which made it very personal. One thing is having the songs be enjoyable and the musical notes be almost perfection, but another is entertaining the crowd in ways not pertaining to musical talent. Bassist Ricky Miller was dancing all night as he plucked the strings of his bass, which also kept the crowd entertained even further. Mike Protich, the lead singer of the band, busted out moves to the beats of the songs, which surely caught my attention, along with the rest of the crowd. Within the first sixty-seconds of the band walking on stage, I knew this was going to be one of the best performances by a small band I would ever see. I liked their music prior to coming to the concert, but whether or not they were going to deliver live was another story. I was nervous for the band I was worried I would have to give a poor review. After TROYвЂ™s phenomenal performance, it was time for the main act to hit the stage. A lot of fans were there for TROY, which made me question if that was the reason why people came in the first place. The opening act, TROY, did an excellent job at hyping up the crowd prior to Red Sun RisingвЂ™s performance. In fact, the crowd wasnвЂ™t even large enough to fill the entire floor.Д«ecause of the size of the audience, I was skeptical as to what kind of performance I was about to see.

The band has had a lot of success with their first and second album, so the crowd was expected to be rather large. Last night, Red Sun Rising performed at The Old Rockhouse alongside their opening act, TROY.
