\"CountsHot off the heels of performing at Rocklahoma, Australia rock band Ragdoll hit Las Vegas with a vengeance performing at Vamp\u2019d on May 30. The show was a special benefit for Imagine and also included Count\u2019s 77. Ragdoll has a sound that is heavily influenced by AC\/DC. Guitarist Leon Todd unleashed powerful bluesy rock riffs in Angus Young style. While singer Ryan Rafferty has a Brandon Russell resemblance. <\/p>\n

The band in touring in support of latest release Ragdoll Rewound<\/em>. Highlights of the set included \u201cTell Me\u201d and \u201cRewind Your Mind.\u201d Ragdoll delivers a high energy set in concert. As Leon Todd whiplashes the stage with his AC\/DC metal approach. It is great to see the band being so well received here in The States. <\/p>\n

Headlining act Count\u2019s 77 delivered a bluesy blockbuster set. Lead by Vamp\u2019d owner and Counting Cars star Danny Koker. Count\u2019s 77 have a classic rock sound that is reminiscent of Humble Pie meets The Doors and The Allman Brothers. The set is fueled by the lead guitar of Stoney Curtis and sizzling guitar riffs of John Zito. <\/p>\n

Highlights of the set included the song \u201cThe Sons Of Perdition\u201d, \u201cLet The Rockin\u2019 Do The Talkin\u201d and \u201cRambling Gambling Man.\u201d The band sounded really tight and reminded me a lot of the bands you hear down in New Orleans. They really got the audience rocking.<\/p>\n

Special Thank you to Ragdoll for making this review possible. <\/p>\n
