Lilith Czar: Rock band from Tampa, Florida 12:30-1:00 Turn It Up Stage The California rockers delivered an 8-song set that included a cover of The Beatles‘ “ Helter Skelter.” The set included a cover of the Killers‘ “ Somebody Told Me” and their new release “Cyberhex.” The last band to perform on the Turn It Up Stage was Thrice. Painted faces and tactical gear were the attire as MIW started things off with their 2014 hit “ Reincarnate.” At one point, lead vocalist Chris Motionless leaped from the stage and ran into the crowd, shaking hands and high fiving as he went. The Turn It Up Stage was not about to slow things down as Motionless In White hit the stage with a ferocity yet to be seen. Complete with a knife wielding clown, an axe induced beheading and a psycho-esque shower stabbing, the band, fronted by singer Spencer Charnas, had one of the day’s most memorable performances. Ice Nine Kills brought their horror show to Orlando and the the fans ate it up. Jelly Roll, Jason DeFord, writes and sings from the heart and he took time to bring a young fan on stage to sing with him. Speaking of blends, Jelly Roll’s set was a fusion of hip-hop, country, and country rap. Kentucky’s Black Stone Cherry was one of the highlights of the day and their unique blend of Southern and hard rock gave the fans a show that will not be forgotten. After telling some jokes and signing a fan’s shirt the show was back on and the band delivered an outstanding performance. Lilith Czar started things off and due to some technical difficulties had to shorten their set by 2 songs. The Turn It Up Stage could have easily been the main stage considering some of the powerhouse bands that were slated to grace its stage. Unfortunately, Tom passed away earlier this year. The Turn It Up Stage was named in honor of Tom “Turn it up Tom” Heal who was instrumental in previous EDBD productions. Toxsick: Rock, Metal, Reggae & Rap artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota 11:40-1200 Even The Odd Stage Circa Arcana, Farewell To Fear and Kirra all had inspired performances that had the crowd on their feet and rockin’. After all, who doesn’t love good music, war paint and a lot of flying hair. The Convalescence is always a fun band to watch. Powered by a duo of female vocalists, Frame 42 left their mark on EDBD 28. Another band of northerners that weren’t slowed by the temps were Michigan natives Frame 42. The two lovely ladies that accompanied him seemed to be enjoying the sun. The Even The Odd Stage hosted an array of exciting artists including Toxsick, whose spiked mohawk survived the Florida heat despite being from Minnesota. Fans had plenty to do as they maneuvered from stage to stage as there were dozens of vendors and activities to watch or participate in. The Even The Odd stage was located at the northwest portion of the venue, directly next to the Turn It Up Stage.
