Formed in November 2003, the SideFX band has been rocking clubs all-across Southern Minnesota with their fun-filled, high-energy "mini rock concerts". If front man/ lead vocalist Erik Mann's impressive singing ability doesn't blow you completely away, his terrific personality and zany antics surely will! Dev Kortuem on bass guitar commandingly lays down a rock solid musical foundation. Jason Wachtel masterfully drives the drums with chest-pounding, booty-moving beats. And skilled guitarists Ed Hiller and Chris Johnson provide hot licks and tasty chops with the killer guitar tone that can only come from quality guitar equipment and ballsy all-tube amps. Together, the members of this band are quite something to behold--both musically and visually. Great music, wacky antics and stage props, lots of crowd interaction, cool lighting effects...the list goes on. You owe it to yourself to check out a SideFX show at a club near you!
