The set went as follows

She told a variety of stories in between songs and had the fans enjoying every minute of it, she even showed that she could "B-Bop" and how it worked into some of the songs she used it in. This examiner can see why KT is #1 in Scottland and soon to be in the U.S.
Opening for KT was a band all the way from New York City, "Hurricane Bells"
Hurricane Bells set lasted around 30 minutes and they played 8 songs, from their album "Tonight Is The Ghost" and their new EP "Down Comes The Rain". They also played their hit "Monsters" which is featured on the Twlight "New Moon" soundtrack.
Steve Schiltz (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Ashen Keilyn (Backing Vocals), Christian Bongers (Bass) and Colin Brooks from "The Big Cats" (Drums).
Hurricane Bells really got the crowd going with their very well done harmonies and Steve's awesome guitar licks. It's to bad they only had 30 minutes stage time. THEY ROCKED !!!!
Their set went like this,
"This Is It", "Darkness Is So Deep", "Freezing Rain", "The Winters In New York", "... Shooting Star", "Let's Go', "Monsters" and "The Cold Has Killed Us".
Keep an eye on these guys, They were very good !!!!
All in all, this examiner being a 'Hard Rock Rocker" enjoyed this show very much and recomends seeing either band the next time they play reno !!!
