These "nobodies" make an impression
Recent Battle of the Bands winners Rise Overrun fully lived up to that success with a fun, confident, but humble performance at Rock The Lake.
They opened proceedings on the Sunday afternoon at Prospera Place and pulled off a slick and tight set in which lead singer Slade Coffman made clear how special it was for the band to be on such a big stage.
"Look Ma, I'm on the big screen" he said, while acknowledging "...we are nobodies and we want to change that."
Also, he asked each band member where they were from and there was added enthusiasm from the crowd when they responded "Kelowna" or "Vancouver".
Like fellow Battle of the Bands winners Freeze The Fall, if Rise Overrun wanted to reward those who had faith in them by winning that title, it's safe to say: mission accomplished.
