Basia Lyjak
Hard Rock Cafˇ
Friday, June 13th, 11:00 pm
Basia tore up the stage of the Hard Rock Cafˇ on Friday night, reaffirming the fact that yes, Toronto girls can indeed rock. She roared out tunes to a packed crowd, channeling Chrissie Hynde with sheer vocal power and strutting ability, as well, the band playing with her complimented her singing with perfect timing and playing skill. The Holly McNarland and Heart influences are evident in her songs, and her lyrics are fun and sing-able without being contrived.
Basia will be playing a show with fellow rock diva Lee Aaron at Rock n'Roll Heaven in Scarborough on July 25th, so you can catch her there if you missed her NXNE show.
