The Bad Animals – A Tribute to Heart

Sauk Rapids, MN

Back by popular demand, The Bad Animals- A Tribute to Heart, return to Moondance Jam Sizzlin�17 for a stop on the summer leg of the �Love Rocks Tour�. One of the most powerful and cutting edge female fronted rock acts of the 70's and 80's was the band HEART. Ann and Nancy Wilson set the standard for future female artists, opening the door for women to be a part of a predominately male run music business, and creating some of the greatest and most recognized songs in music history. Recreating the passion and power of an institution like HEART isn�t an easy task for a tribute band, which probably explains why there are less than a dozen Heart tributes currently working in the United States. The Bad Animals are one of the select few that capture the raw energy of a live HEART concert. The Bad Animals are made up of 6 of the most accomplished and recognized musicians from the region: Sandy DiMancari on lead Vocals, Joelle Negaard on Lead Vocals and Guitar, Lewis Sego on Keyboards, Bruce Campbell on drums, Todd Hunter on Bass, and Leni DiMancari on Guitar & Vocals. In concert, the band is incredible, with Sandy covering the power of Ann Wilson and Joelle capturing the subtle and softer side of Nancy Wilson, creating breathtaking harmonies. The band has been touring since the fall of 2003 and has become a 'Must See' Act in the club and casino circuit. Their show spans 3 Decades of Multi platinum HEART Music, performing their Chart Topping Singles, Rock Classics and Arena Rock Power Ballads. In 2007 the band performed at 4 of the major festivals including their first appearance at Moondance Jam, Halfway Jam, RiverFest and the Joe Town Festival, surpassing the attendance record at the Joe Town Festival to 17,000 people, and totaling over 50 thousand fans old and new who saw the band live that year. The Bad Animals were nominated by the Minnesota Music Academy in 2006 for a Minnesota Music Awards for Best Tribute Band and Best Cover Band. The Bad Animals have been dubbed one of the hottest Tribute bands on the circuit, and give an energetic performance capturing the Power & Energy of HEART.
