Pillar of Autumn September 5, 2009

To close out the summer The Eagle Theatre will be hosting three of the heaviest hitters in the Detroit area.
You've seen them on their own - but now for one night only; Pillar of Autumn, Effigy and Forest Wade will be coming together for this summer's must see concert event. On Saturday, September 5th the place to be is The Eagle Theatre, part of the Crofoot complex in downtown Pontiac. 15 South Saginaw, Pontiac, MI 48342. Just a $10 ticket ($12 at the door) gets you in, where you'll experience Forest Wade, who are no strangers to the stage. With their high-powered brand of rock, somewhat reminiscent of Sound Garden with a touch southern flavor - it's rock through and through. Effigy takes the best of the last few decades of rock and roll, and rolls it into their own sound. They've been compared to Queen and Led Zeppelin - but don't be fooled. These guys have a current sound that is only theirs. Pillar of Autumn rounds out the evening with their extremely animated live show. One of the most talked about bands in the Detroit area - they'll be playing tracks from their new EP; Burn This City - as well as old favorites and brand new music! You've heard the stories, now come see what these guys are like in the flesh! The powerhouse rhythm, the captivating guitar work, and the unmistakable vocals of this band hold their own against the on stage antics that have been the buzz of the area.
