\"Debut<\/p>\n

SIOUX FALLS (September 2, 2015) The Badlands House Band, the musical voice of Chuck Brennan\u2019s new Badlands Pawn entertainment destination, made their debut in true post-Apocalyptic fashion on Thursday, August 27 at The District in Sioux Falls. <\/p>\n

The band, fans, staff and venue endured a record-breaking thunderstorm which caused major flooding and road closures throughout the region, and a power outage lasting nearly two hours. The hundreds of Rock \u2018n Roll enthusiasts that remained at the venue roared when the power came back on and the Badlands House Band took the stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stayed ready, and maintained our focus,\u201d said lead singer Ron Keel. \u201cWhen the juice came back on, it was time to go to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The electricity remained on for the entire show, which featured plenty of flames, smoke, explosions, a drum riser built like the front of a train \u2013 and special guest appearances by Rock \u2018n Roll Hall of Famer Paul Stanley from KISS and Night Ranger\u2019s Jack Blades.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Badlands House Band is really world class,\u201d Stanley stated after the show. \u201cI was more than pleasantly surprised. When you say you\u2019re going to sit in with a band you really don\u2019t know what you\u2019re getting into. It\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really proud of the entire Badlands team,\u201d Brennan said. \u201cThe band kicks ass, and our staff and crew really rose to the occasion. This is the first of many epic events presented by the Badlands Entertainment Group.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concert was filmed for an upcoming TV special, and the first 500 guests in the door received a free Badlands House Band t-shirt. <\/p>\n

The band is led by million-selling frontman Ron Keel, the Metal Cowboy, and includes Midwest drum legend Rev Koller, guitarists DC Cothern and Doc Purcell, keyboardist Dakota Scott and bass player Geno \u201cEl Diablo\u201d Arce.<\/p>\n

The songlist featured classic Rock \u2018n Roll anthems woven together to create a show filled with twists and turns, dramatic transitions, massive vocal harmonies and guitar histrionics. After the performance, the Badlands House Band wasted no time resting as they climbed on board the tour bus and headed for their first road show the following night in Mankato, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minnesota show the next day was the true test,\u201d said Badlands Entertainment Manager Mike \u201cChainsaw\u201d Findling. \u201cIt was a last minute opportunity, so there was no advance promotion and nobody knew who they were. Without the hype, the special effects, lights, no train and no superstar guests, the show still worked. Thousands of fans were singing along, even though they\u2019d never heard of the band.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s next stop is in Moorhead, Minnesota Sept. 11 at Bluestem Amphitheater with Hairball. They are also confirmed to perform at major bike events such as Biketoberfest (Daytona October 15-17) and the Lone Star Rally in Galveston November 5-7. BHB has just launched their official web site at http:\/\/BadlandsHouseBand.com<\/a> and announced plans to headline the New Year\u2019s Eve concert at Badlands Pawn in Sioux Falls.<\/p>\n

Badlands Pawn, Gold & Jewelry opens Thanksgiving Day, 2015 and will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day of the year. For more information, visit http:\/\/BadlandsPawn.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
