Swan River took on a new look on Wednesday night when 350 to 375 enthusiasts packed the Legion Community Hall to see "Kick Axe" perform live in concert. Together for about 2 1/2 years, "kick Axe" released their first album in 1984 - with high hopes of it becoming a Gold Record - not unlike very Rocker who cuts a disk! |
What immediately set them apart from the many groups aspring for fame and fortune was the fact that they made it on the charts - the first time round!! In fact, they were an instant success - not only in their native Canada - but in the U.S., but in the overseas as well - No. 1 in France and No. 2 in Poland. Hovewer, despite their international acclaim, "Kick Axe" still wants to perform in as many Canadian cities, towns, and other places where rock'n'rollers enjoy their music. |
On May 20, they start works on a second album and two new videos, to be released in August. Promoter Ed Yaschyshyn says that "Kick Axe" could just be the beginning of a series of "name" groups appearing in Swan. His plans include bringing in a new group every six weeks, making our town the place where young people can ejoy top entertainment - certainly a plus when it comes to this choice and just aimlessly hangin' out. |
