About The Lounge Lizards

Craig Schrolucke and Alexis Larsen are good buddies who love a trendy hot spot as much as they do a worn out hole in the wall provided the service is as good as the items being served up. They also love bar talk and all that it entails and are more than happy to belly up to this bar blog and do just that.

Survivor survives SummerFest 2008

By alarsen | Saturday, July 5, 2008, 08:17 PM

They have a will to survive … they sing about it and today Survivor has survived SummerFest 2008 at the Fraze Pavilion as the eighth band in a ten band ’80s nostalgic lineup.

Discovered back in the day (the ’80s in case you haven’t been paying attention) by action hero Sylvester Stallone, Survivor continues to be a favorite on the oldie, but goodie concert circuit. Ending their more than hour long set with “Eye of the Tiger,” the proverbial lid came off Fraze as the crowd was brought to it’s feet and sang in tandem. Fraze continues to keep close to a very tight schedule with Survivor exiting the stage at around 8 p.m.

Update: The crew from Mix 107.7 just came to the stage explaining why John Waite (former frontman for The Babys and Bad English) instead of Lou Gramm (former Foreigner frontman) … it goes like this: Apparently Lou had some health issues requiring surgery and Mix 107.7 crew thought, “well that’s going to be lame, we’re having our 10th anniversary with nine bands …” According to the story, 48 hours ago John Waite gets a call to come to Dayton and he did … on his birthday no less! The crowd just finished singing “Happy Birthday” to him and he started in on his set at 8:35 p.m.

Eight bands down, the ninth on stage, one to go. Stay tuned …
