After Dark
is a classic Rock and Roll band performing songs from the 60's,
70's, 80's and 90's with some of todays music peppered into our repertoire.
The band started with Tony "Thunderstix" Scalera (The Bar Flies) and Johnny
Philips (Low Profile) whose vision was to form a group that would perform
classic rock and roll but with a different twist. To this end, the group is
formed out of musicians with very diversified backgounds and interests.
Philip "the Silver Bullet" da Silva came on, playing lead guitar and singing
back up vocals with Tony to compliment Johnny's lead vocals. Philip formerly
of the hard rock band U.S. brings a driving sound with a metal edge that
gives the group and the music a unique dynamic not often heard from other
classic rock cover bands. Add the talent and musician ship of "Lightening"
Rob Watts on keys, harmonica and vocals, classically trained, with a slant
toward modern country, and you have the fusion of Oldies, Classics, Hard
Rock/Metal and Modern Country.
Helping
to keep the rhythm section tight is veteran bass player John "Johnny the K"
Kraus. John has a varied musical background which includes classic rock bands,
blues bands, top 40 bands, as well as pit orchestra work for musical theatre
around the Tri State Area. John has most recently played bass with "Gentleman
Jack and the Blues Attack" and appeared live on the Jay Wolf show on WNNJ 103.7
radio. Other bands on his resume include "Quatro", "Back Exit", and the 90's
punk band "No Turns". Together they perform an eclectic array of
selections from The Drifters to Led Zeppelin. Songs you love to sing
with...Music you love to dance to....
