Monster Truck

That was my first event at the Union, the layout and the sound was amazing. Monster Truck is now on my top 3 list of most loudest bands I've ever seen. Not only that, the stage presence was unprecedented. Greatest rock band on the scene right now.

Ever since the release of their amazing album FURIOSITY - MONSTER TRUCK has been on my radar to see live. The album came out in June of 2013 and my first opportunity to see them was this show at the STARLAND BALLROOM. My specialty is new and rising musical artists so I had tagged this band for success as soon as I heard the album. My preference is to see these fledgling artists in a small 250 capacity club- meet the band- score a picture with them etc. But it's not unusual for a new band with obvious talent to land a tour supporting an established headliner as was the case here. BUCKCHERRY headlined the show but I was there to see MONSTER TRUCK. FIRST OFF- if I have to go to a bigger venue say 2000+than the STARLAND BALLROOM would be my first choice. Parking is reasonable and easy! The layout of the club is such that you can get real close to the stage without much gymnastics. The sound system was excellent That said- MONSTER TRUCK was the main support for BUCKCHERRY and they played after THE MACHINE ELVES (opener) and 3 PILL MORNING. The problem for MT is they followed a very charismatic power set by 3 Pill and as a result their lack of charisma was very obvious. It should be mentioned that guitar player JEREMY WIDERMAN did provide some stage presence but the rest of the band are simply not showmen yet. I'm a TRUCK fan and musically they were excellent- but stage presence is huge when performing live and my hope is that they will work on this going forward! Regardless- MONSTER TRUCK IS ON THE RISE BRINGING OLD FASHIONED IN YOUR FACE ROCK AND ROLL. Get the album!

This is the second time I've seen them and they have not disappointed. They sound amazing Live and their songs are so good. Go check them out if you can. These guys rock!

Red stone souls brought the power and energy with some kick as tunes that just got even better when Monster Truck went on. Absolutely fabulous time can't wait to see them again both bands.

Great band to see. Very recommend to go if playing around you.

These guys are DEFINITELY one of the most underrated bands out there - especially live. Everything was tight, rockin', and damn great performance... even with a horrible turnout for the audience. Do yourselves a favor and catch these guys live. Its the kind of music everyone can rock to.

Monster Truck is a band that is no nonsense, straight up rock n' roll. They did not disappoint! We were right up front and the show was one of my favorites that I've ever been to. The music and showmanship was amazing! It really is a shame that FM radio is in the state it is, otherwise Monster Truck would be a household name across America. Songs like "Old Train", "Sweet Mountain River", "The Lion" and "Don't Tell Me How To Live" are just total greatness. This Canadian band sounds like a good ol' dirty Southern rock band, full of blues and soul. Live, these guys sound better than on record, and that's saying something because their albums are so good. Everyone should do themselves a favor and get both of their EPs and both LPs - "Furiosity" and "Sittin' Heavy". True GREATNESS!

This was my first time to see Monster Truck, who opened for the most awesome Alter Bridge. I really enjoyed MT and will see them again. They have the old rocknroll look that we love to see, and everyone at the house was jamming. It was a good night.

MT are the princes of hammer town. So good to have them back. Hamilton place is such a nice venue. Awesome night. Keep rocking guys.

Totally amazing show. Jeremy had such sweet energy. Definately seeing them again!!

Absolutely amazing, fantastic lights, roaring crowd singing to all the lyrics, killer sound, and a great stage appearance. Monster Truck seriously put on a great show and I can't wait until they are back. For the opening they started with Old Train and for about 5 min before the lights were flashing and they had orchestrated music and train effects in the distance (rail road rattle, chains jingling, horns blairing, crossing signs ringing), the place felt like it was gunna explode, WAY TOO COOL. Almost felt like a Metallica show haha.

I knew the band would be amazing.... But add the republik as a venue it's create done of the best concerts I have been to in a long time!!! Can't wait to see them again!
