Burning Brides/ Division of Laura Lee is a more interesting attraction.<P>

I had never heard of Fixer before Friday night. They showed up 15 minutes before they were suppose to play before Carfax Abbey. Fixer really rocked!! Evan, their vocalist, sounds like Axle Rose though. The music is just straight up hard rock! Excellent!<P>MindCage<BR><A HREF="http://www.deep6.com" TARGET=_blank>Deep6 Productions[/url]<BR><A HREF="http://www.mindlessfaith.com" TARGET=_blank>Mindless Faith[/url]

We went to the Fixer show as a last minute decision and as much as I hate to admit, Fixer was pretty damn good. Their set was definitely a banger!
