If you're looking for something to do tonight, you might want to check out the Anthony August band at TNT's. DR2 had a chance to check out this new band the other night at The Emerald and they can definitely rock. Featuring Anthony August on guitar and vocals and 12 year old (yesterday was his birthday!) Angelo Coppola on drums and vocals.
While Anthony can definitely wail on guitar and demonstrated this with a few worthy solos, the crowd was definitely in awe of the "kid"! When you hear "12 year old drummer" you tend to think he will be keeping time and, more or less background for the band. Not a chance with Angelo! He rocks with a will and intensity far beyond his size and age!! Angelo, pounding on his custom Pearl kit, rocked his way through the 10 song set and even took over the vocal chores for a fantastic cover of Cochise by Audioslave. You may start out watching a "band with a 12 year old" but you end up listening to and enjoying a rock show. Angelo is not just good for his age, he is flat-out good! We are anxious to see what is in the future for this new band. you can check them out on myspace at www.myspace.com/angelocoppola or www.myspace.com/anthonyaugust81 .
