Epicenter: The Envy beckons a crowd

Canadian rockers The Envy are having a couple firsts today -- the band is the first act at today's Epicenter festival in Fontana and it's the first time they've played California.

It's the band's last date on tour with Kiss, playing tonight. Gene Simmons signed the band to his label.

"It's true that everything is much more beautiful on the west coast," lead singer Shaun Frank told the crowd that grew with each song.

I'm liking his indecisive half-shirt, half-tank top which seems appropriate for a day like today that's feeling super-hot so far. Could make for a fantastic sunburn pattern later too.
