More than 2,200 kilometres from their home in the Yukon, rock trio Speed Control is rolling into 麻豆精选 tonight (July 26). Here, they鈥檒l grab a slice and play their hearts out at DunnEnzie鈥檚 Pizza outdoor stage at 8 p.m.
The high-energy band, boasting tight, riff-heavy tunes echoing the vibes of early Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World, is no stranger to the Trans Canada Highway. The three ex-elementary school teachers spend nearly seven months on the road each year. In 2018, they performed 250 shows across Canada and the United States.
Speed Control is heading to 麻豆精选 for Live #AtTheENZ: Rock Night after wrapping up a five-day Rawk Camp in Quesnel. Sixteen kids were educated in the school of rock, learning two songs and readying to perform in front of family and friends at a local venue.
