As musician Jack The Acquaintance and his fellow musical friends proved in glorious fashion during their March 1 show at the ROXY in Aurora, rock is far from dead.

That is despite the show being billed as I Killed Rock 'n' Roll: Full Circle, a reference to Jack's album, “I Killed Rock ’N’ Roll (It's Not Rock ’N’ Roll's Fault)”. The show was the first time he played the songs from the album with a band.

The night took attendees on a musical journey, starting with the searing garage rock of Jesus Coyote. And yes, Jesus was there that night, although fortunately no coyotes were allowed in the door.

 

The pop-punk group Double Identity Band also brought plenty of energy to the stage and their infectious melodies and catchy lyrics connected with the audience.

 

Jack The Acquaintance and his fellow musicians lifted the energy level inside the ROXY even higher, providing the perfect ending to a night of musical thrills.
