The band “Minions of Fate” will be playing on Saturday evening from 9:30 until 12:30 at The Filling Station on Linden Avenue in Dayton. We play classic rock covers, although not the usual classic rock that seems to be favored in most venues. Included in our sets are: “Day of the Eagle,” “Band on the Run,” “Ziggy Stardust/Suffragette City,” “Powderfinger,” “Down By the River.” If you’d like to hear some of our music, we’re on Facebook under “Minions of Fate.” We also have a website on reverbnation.com that you can reach from our FB site. Come by and check us out this Saturday!

I really love the band “Millions in Freight.” It’s a group of long-haul trucks that get together and jam at rest stops on the Interstate. Best song is “The road’s bumpy and I’m out of Preparation H”
