Domenica Leaves Jaws Agape with "Shut Your Mouth"

Now rockin’ the stage at the Whisky is Winnipeg-based quartet Domenica, fronted by the beautiful Bekki, whose guitar chops are as impressive as her looks. Their head-banging hard rock has captured the attention of the attendees, with quite a few players from other MUSEXPO bands hangin’ out by the stage and obviously enjoying the show. It’s easy to see why: the lead guitarist, bassist and drummer are monster musicians in their own right, displaying a lot of energy onstage that’s being reciprocated by the audience. One of the highlights was a song where they slowed it down a bit--“But it’s still a scorcher,” Bekki promised--the tune “Like Me,” which showcased Bekki’s keen lyrical sense and delivery. They amped the energy back up with “I’ve Got My Gun,” with Bekki wailing over a brutal backbeat and inspired six-string work, following up with the song "Shut Your Mouth," which despite said title left many jaws agape. Anyone that may have been feeling a wee bit drowsy before the set is definitely awakened now by the aural caffeine that is Domenica!
