Music Review: Automatic

On Saturday Night, I stopped by Sully’s in Chantilly and caught the last two sets of Classic Rock Cover Band, Automatic.

It was my first time seeing this band, and they blew me away with their classic rock covers such as Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water, the Guess Who’s No Time and Aerosmith’s Walk This Way.

The lead vocalist, Lloyd has an amazing vocal range, and does a dead-on cover of Jim Morrison from the Doors. Rick, the Bass player, also performs lead vocals on some songs, and together, the two of them provide the perfect voices to cover most of the classic favorites.

The lead guitarist lives for his solo performances, and performs these like a virtuoso.

Automatic thrilled the audience, had everyone dancing, and when the lights came up for last call, there were some boos of disappointment and chants for one more song. I will be seeking out a future performance of Automatic, and if you get a chance to see them, you should. Check their website for dates.
