Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Feb.8th (Maximum RnR)

Today's t-shirt is from the second time I saw Toronto band Maximum RnR play at Stars on Whyte Ave. in Edmonton in 2004. These guys play balls to the wall rock n' roll and don't come out west enough. Opening bands for this show were locals Black Market Inc. and Mark Birtles Project.

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Aug. 3rd (Maximum RnR)

Today's t-shirt is from the first time I saw Toronto band "Maximum RnR" in concert. This show was at the old Sidetrack Cafe in downtown Edmonton. Now I am not sure what year this show was, I am thinking in 2003-04, something like that. What an awesome show of balls to the wall rock n' roll.

After looking at the Maximum RnR site, I now see that this show was in 2005.
