When Mike Protich of Red Sun Rising declared on stage that they and Skillet were "family" and that this show was a "reunion", we knew they already understood what Rochester was all about.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is completely turned off by reviews. I just find some of them to be overly negative and not conducive to keeping a newcomer's mind open.
If someone were to ask me, "Val - what's your favorite local band in Rochester?" I'd have a hard time picking between the three who played an incredible show on Friday night.
