Cougar Hunter is a theatrical quintet that captures
the essence of glam rock in the ‘80s. With tight
spandex, luscious flowing hair and excessive
overuse of hairspray, Cougar Hunter brings the
‘80’s back one cougar at a time and will do just
that covering the music of Motley Crue. Find the
band on Facebook @Cougar Hunter

Since 2001, The Lurking Corpses’ music has been
described as a blend of catchy horror punk and old school
thrash & death metal. The band combines violent, gory
lyrics with tongue in cheek humor and dark sarcasm.
Elements of doo-wop, rockabilly, arena rock, and country
are also thrown into the mix, displaying the band's diverse
influences. The band members are Lord Vladimir Von
Ghoul, Saint Legions the Six, Cousin Eerie, Richter
Mortis and Friar Frightengale. Find the band on Facebook

Since '07 RP Wigs has been creating music people can shake their
wigs to. RP Wigs represents a unique sound of hard,
groove-oriented guitar alongside souring overtones of melodic
vocals and sheer power. This is a group of talented musicians that
take their craft as serious as a heart attack, but put off a vibe that
make people want to have fun when they come out to a show. The
lineup features Korey Zehr , D.J., Corey J, Chris and Landon. Find
the band on Facebook at facebook.com/RPWIGS
