My Broken Hero returns to hometown

Jul 16 2010

On Sunday night, My Broken Hero performed at The Academy with guests Prom
Night in Black and White, On Call Heroes and local band The Moonstones.

Sunday night was the first show My Broken Hero has played in Port Alberni in
a year, and the crowd was wild.

Although each of the bands were stellar, it was clear which group the crowd came to see. It seemed as though there was a surge of energy when My Broken Hero took the stage.

Lead vocalist, Dustin Dame told the crowd at one point that he had lost his voice a few nights prior to the show and requested vocal support from the crowd. However, he managed to surprise us all with how well he sang. The whole band, including a special appearance by guitarist Tim Keizer, brought their A-game. The crowd reciprocated their passion by moshing and singing along whole-heartedly.

My Broken Hero played songs from their EP, Moving On, and from Man of Science, Man of Faith. Some of the songs included were Fistful of Lightning, You Could Be Alive, Never Tell Me The Odds, The Astronaut and Colours.

As My Broken Hero were drawing to a close, the band tried to figure out which song they would play next as the audience begged for their song Sharks.

Dustin said that Sharks required too much energy, and he was not sure if his voice could sustain it. He promised to perform it at their next show in September.

Much to the crowd's pleasure, the band performed Sharks and Dustin sang amazingly.

Crowd favourites were Caledonia, The Astronaut, Men of Science, Sharks and Fistful of Lightning.
