EWO fans win big at Clinton's show!

It's true! In an effort to give back to our loyal fans, EWO has created opportunities for audience members to go home with some killer prizes when they come out and show support at an event we book and run ourselves.

On Friday March 28th at Clinton's Tavern, as fans arrived in droves, they were given 2 such opportunities with the price of admission.

1) A raffle ticket for a shot at a fold-up, felt top, padded, poker table top

2) A feedback form, which upon return, automatically entered them into a draw for a $20 credit at the bar

The giveaways were a great success and certainly raised the anticipation level of the night so you can count on EWO doing much more of that in the future.

Up 1st on stage was local arena style rock group ADA. As fans entered Clinton's killer back room venue, they were treated to a heavy and trippy array of tunes overlaid by singer, Jen Mahone's, power wailings. Evoking the power of Audioslave, the progression of Yes and the spirit of both Chrissy Hind and Stevie Nicks, ADA's short set was both awesome and explosive.

Easy Way Out took the stage next. Ripping through the first 3 songs without a break as if ramping the audience up for some kind of release, EWO delivered with 2 new tunes: This Ol' Phantom (easily a crowd fave about a destitute homeless man who's clearly gone bat-shit) and Princess Parasite (an other worldly tale of prostitution and lust) The rest of the set fired off like a rocket and exploded when the crowed holla'd for an encore. Perpetual Blue and High Life were returned to help satiate the audience.

All the way from Windsor, On., Evelyn Falls took the stage 3rd. Updating the dark heart of grunge and evoking the ghost of Layne Staley, Evelyn Falls represented Windsor as if on a mission. Certainly an act to listen for.

Who could ask for a better closing set than the one performed by Toronto's own Dub / Ska / Rock collective Street 66. Sans horn section, Step and crew carved off all the fat and showed the audience the bare bones truth behind their sound. Charisma, character and killer songs filled the room and before long folks were cuttin' rugs like ... well like rug cuttin' bugs. Dig? The second set of encores for the night came and went and it was time to head home.

All and all the night was a real success, the bar made money, the bands made a little cash, the audience got a bunch of free stuff and went home with some great memories and a feeling, one hopes, will stay with them for a long time.
