MONDAY MARCH 11TH - RHYTHM & RIFFS LOUNGE, MANDALAY BAY LAS VEGAS, 11PM-3AM, 21 AND OVER, FREE ADMISSION
As the name may imply, this band plays Rock ‘n Roll music. But make no mistake about it… these guys and gals ain’t your average cover band from Las Vegas. In fact, after seeing the Rock ‘n Roll Rebels play one of their trademark shows, you’ll swear you’ve just been to one of the most amazing concerts you’ve ever seen! Looking at a photo of this group, you’d swear you were looking at the cover of The Rolling Stone Magazine. Gone are the costumes, the stage gimmicks and the “lounge-quality” versions of your favorite songs that make you yearn for the sound of fingernails scratching across a blackboard as a better alternative. The Rock ‘n Roll Rebels are pure music and rock star appeal.
The Rock ‘n Roll Rebels are the brainchild of lead singer Bianca Hernandez. Having performed as a guest vocalist for several Las Vegas cover bands, she came to the conclusion that it’s best to perform songs that she personally loved and had a connection to. “It’s that connection that really comes across to an audience, if I’m feeling it, I am just going to be that more into it, and that is a powerful, crowd motivating force.” Growing up in a musical household, Bianca’s parents were big fans of rock and roll hits from the 50s and 60s as well as Johnny Cash, June Carter and other "Outlaw" country artists. They imparted their love to Bianca to create a youthful voice that keeps the fire of the oldies alive. It should come as no surprise then that hit songs such as “Be My Baby,” “It’s My Party,” “Ring of Fire,” and “La Bamba” made it the R’nRR setlist... but let the band not be pigeonholed into one corner! There are also great renditions of timeless classics by Janis Joplin, The Jackson 5, The Beatles and Heart. And embracing all great music, there are some contemporary songs that made it to the list too. Artists such as No Doubt, Joan Jett and The Stray Cats are known to come to the drag races from time to time as well!
The Rock’n Roll Rebels is rounded out by an outstanding group of musicians. Mike Szuter is the group’s lead guitarist and has spent years performing in his own original bands as well as being a member of the Blue Man Group. He has toured the world with Paul Gilbert (of Mr.Big and Racer X fame) and played in some of the top cover acts in Las Vegas. On bass is Drew Tomecko. Drew is an accomplished player himself, having performed in many original and cover projects throughout the United States. Last but not least is Johnny Fedevich on drums. Johnny has years of experience; including appearing as the drummer in the Cameron Crowe movie Almost Famous!. Mike, Johnny and Drew provide backing vocals for the group as well as sing a few leads themselves. Don’t be shocked if you hear “California Sun,” by The Ramones or an amazing version of “You Really Got Me,” as it was performed by Van Halen!
If you are looking for a high-energy solution for your entertainment needs, The Rock n’Roll Rebels is your answer. Whether it’s an ongoing residency at a nightclub, or a one-off corporate event, the Rock ‘n Roll Rebels are sure to be the life of the party.
