This is a night to reconnect with old friends and bond once again with musicians from the past. It’s time to break out your spandex and your aqua net hairspray and have a rockin good time! Narcissus Heavy Metal Reunion Event presents… FLESH FLESH hit the Boston music scene in the late 80’s with big guitars, big vocals and yes, big hair. But as the musical landscape changed, they were able to persevere deep into the 90’s.FLESH’s style of hard rock combined with their high energy performances earned them a faithful following. In addition to releasing two CD’s, they signed with EMI Music Publishing, were nominated twice for Best Hard Rock Act by the Boston Music Awards and played a thirty city tour across the US with Extreme. FORTUNE For over two decades, Fortune has regularly packed a multitude of venues throughout New England. Hailing from Peabody, MA, this 6-piece band has long maintained a reputation for smooth three and four part vocal harmonies, dynamic and melodic textures of multiple guitars and keyboards, and tight rhythm section. IN THE PINK In The Pink was formed in Boston in 1986. After a few lineup changes that included Pat Badger (Extreme) and Brian Tichy (Ozzy, Billy Idol, Foreigner, Whitesnake), the band solidified “the family” and became one of the most popular bands in the local rock scene. JEALOUS DOGS JEALOUS DOGS, a high-octane mix of groove-laden hooks and ferocious guitar riffs, was formed in Boston, MA in 1991. Drawing from collective influences, lead singer Michael Bourque, drummer David Christensen, bassist|vocalist Rob Stephen, guitarist|vocalistMarekStycos and lead guitarist Bobby Villemure combined their love of Aerosmith grooves, AC/DC riffs and Queen-esq harmonies to create their own unique 'Dog' sound LOVE POLLUTION Love Pollution was a hard rock band formed in New Hampshire in the late 1980’s. The band moved to Boston in 1990 and became a force to reckon with in the Boston rock scene. Drawing from a wide range of influences from the classic sounds of the Beatles to hard rock bands like Motley Crue. Love Pollution had a very unique sound that still stands the test of time. Hailing from Boston, hard rock legends MASS, have had numerous accomplishments over the years with the selling of over a half million records worldwide! Achieving record deals with A&M, RCA, Enigma, they are now with current European label Escape Music. Their hit single “Do You Love Me” reached #1 for over six weeks on many major radio stations and received rotation on MTV and even hit Billboard charts! Not ones to rest on their laurels, MASS have released two recent albums: “Crack of Dawn” in 2007 winning Best Major Album on Limelight Magazine and 2010’s “Sea Of Black” which critics and fans are calling the best melodic rock album of the year! With many sold out shows in 2011, MASS will enter the studio in 2012 to start recording their 10th studio album with a scheduled worldwide release later in the year! BLUE TIGER Award Winning Band 87 to 91 Released Now on Retrospect Records, with their award winning CD UNTAMED SPIRIT STEEL ASSASSIN Formed as a cover band in 1980, the group officially became STEEL ASSASSIN in 1983, appearing on Metal Massacre 6 in 1985. Despite acclaimed true metal demo tapes and live shows in the early/mid '80s, the band disbanded in 1985, a brief reunion in 1988 keeping the STEEL ASSASSIN name alive. In 2005, four of the five original members rejoined and recorded the highly acclaimed War of the Eight Saints album with new singer John Falzone. SWEET CHEATER Sweet Cheater was formed in the early 1980’s by guitarists, Tom Flaherty and Charlie Leger. They began writing songs together and soon found vocalist Mike Chappel in a local cover band. They later recruited Charlie’s younger brother, Tommy to play drums. Tommy brought in his former high school band mate, Mark Rahilly to play bass and keyboards. They began playing the Boston area clubs, and quickly found a loyal following of fans (figured someone might be interested in this! I'm going cus I love reunion shows and Flesh is a fav of mine!

| _________________________________ [Jun 7,2012 1:44pm - chrisREX ""] I saw Steel Assassin play a recent Wargasm show and their new vocalist was soooo lame. Which is incredible considering their original vocalist. True heavy metal all-star. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 7,2012 1:53pm - KPANZER ""] Repectfully got to disagree with you. Doni , the original singer was an amazing frontman but his vocal really didn't age well. Jon, on the othere hand is an incredible singer AND frontman. imho |
