"Chiaro's set was full on show tune rock! Big keyboard pads, tasty lead guitar work, and a good looking lead singer/guitarist with a wicked falsetto. What more could rock fans ask for?" Bodog Review on CHIARO on Bodog Battle 1st round on the 11/10 @ Barfly!
CHIARO @ IVORY BLACKS BODOG SECOND ROUND
CHIARO took the stage next and it was clear that these guys were poised to take the first place spot of the night. They had a grand operatic rock sound with a mean ass guitar solos that melted every face off of the crowd. BODOG REVIEW 11/12/07

Just giving folk some last minute nudges bout this show at Hustlers, Sunday 22nd March. It's ourselves ( Threshold Sicks), crazy death metal Swedes Volturyon, Petersfield death/thrash bruisers Bloodshot Dawn, local death/thrash/grind-meisters Vulsellum, our Perth metal brothers Nerrus Kor, Dundee classic metallers Witchblade and now, death death from up north by Cryptic hate. The doors are at five and so is the entry. That's a lot of bands, so you know you'd better be down early to catch the full effect. What else are you gonna do on a Sunday...go to Church? Big Paul - Threshold Sicks
I'll miss you guys....seriously, very good music! The gigs were always fun too, I'd hoped you were destined for big things.....but hey, I won't fight it. Rock on, former Chiaro members! :-)
