After
more than 6 month rehearsing 5 days a week, Powerage got the
attention of Lipstick International Music Agency and began touring not
only first in Switzerland but also in Europe. It was like magic among
the musicians when they played together. The guitar player was only 18
years old at that time and had full energy. The singer, 26 years old was
like an electric wire on stage. After having searching for
more than 4 years musicians, who
could click at the first note played, well with them,
"POWERAGE BAND"
WAS BORN!

They
started touring to different places of South Switzerland (Italian
State named Ticino).
They toured in many cities but the very
first was the beautiful Roman City of Ascona (Lago Maggiore). A well known
tourist area, where was a huge club called "LE STELLE.
The partichularity of this
club was that the (walls) of it were covered with steel and from the outside,
you couldn't hear any sound even when "Powerage" played with
8400
watts Peavey sound system.
They performed in this club before Christmas in front of more than
2000 young people. The next day the news papers revues were full of
praise for this local band, which deserved to go to the International
Music Scene. They did it, but for a short time!
SPECIAL THANK'S TO:
Other concerts were play at the Giubiasco Iris Movie
theater playing as opening for the "Crown".
Another concert was at
the "Bands Festival" in Lugano,
where they played
a song composed by Jackson called
"The Blood Between the Lines" For this event, they had two new musicians
who was: Ariel Niggli at the Keyboard and Michele Kaehr bass. That day with them, Powerage
was judged by a Jury who positioned the Band at the second position
against a professional one. Thank you very much to: Ariel Niggli (Picture
on the left) and Michele Kaehr for their great
performances.
