Tongue-n-Groove
Friday September 24, @ 5:30-7:45 on the Main Stage
Tongue-n-Groove is a 5-member band featuring alternating male/female lead vocals covering a wide range of popular music from alternative to aggressive rock.
Tongue-n-Groove was formed by Rob and Steve back in October 2000 simply as an outlet to do what they love - play music. Mark had been a singer for years belting out the best of Bon Jovi and Motley Crue and since Rob and Steve were too busy playing drums and bass, they brought him on board as lead vocals. Next, they tricked Steve's neighbor Bill into joining the band on guitar. Bill has many years of experience in the industry, but can't remember any of it. But, they keep him around because of his rockability. Singer, Christine was a late addition to the lineup as they really didn't believe she could sing. And, boy...can she sing! Just by adding her vocals to the music, their range and dynamics increased exponentially.
When not playing their instruments the members of Tongue-n-Groove are very career minded professionals. Two of the members own businesses, there is a V.P. of Operations, a web developer and another works for a Global Consulting organization.
Modern Day Romeos

Modern Day Romeos is the quintessential party band. Based out of Chicago's Northwest Suburbs, all five members have come from different backgrounds to create a brand new band, with a brand new style. Modern Day Romeos will provide you with a high energy show, and take you on a musical journey...playing past and present hits with that strong backbeat you just can't miss. Many say they sound better than the originals. We continue to play before impressive crowds and have an extensive contact list through a massive online presence. We look forward to each and every show, event, and festival. We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to all those that come out to our shows. Please continue to support the local music scene, because without you...we're nothing. See you at the shows.

While they continue to play your favorite Disco hits, the addition of hundreds of dance & rock songs, spanning from the 60's through today, has quite literally turned LFC into a human jukebox. From the hits of the good ole' Motown days to the bass-thumping beats of today's dance music; from the always danceable Disco grooves to the new wave rock of the 80's… LFC has it "covered".
