Tahuna band Amped Up rocks Bandquest

Rockshop Bandquest is a platform for the next generation of contemporary musicians to step out and perform in a supportive and encouraging competition format.

Amped up - Ashane De Silva, David Song, Blake Hughes, Ted Menzies, and singer Lucy Hibbert- certainly stepped out and up at Bandquest,  looking cool under the hot lights of the Taieri College Performing Arts Centre in self-designed Amped Up T-shirts.  Frontman David played his sax with style, had the audience swooning and won the musicianship award, Ted  laid down a solid rhythm guitar, keeping steady through the dynamics, Blake  drummed up a perfect storm,  Ashane added some smooth right hand flourishes to a driving left hand on the keys and Lucy's voice was warm and intimate up to the part where she exploded into rap and rocked the house. Big thumbs up to Amped Up!
