For the last two years Fallen Angel fell out of sight, but now they’re back, brandishing their proud and proper tribute to the incredibly popular 80’s band Poison for public perusal. Originally formed in October of 2009 with over a hundred years of music playing between them, Jimmie Barr (lead vocals), Bobby White (lead guitar, backing vocals), Tim Copp (bass, backing vocals) and Rick Bietsch (drums), for all practical purposes, quickly became Poison in central Illinois. The high energy stage shows combined with intense audience interaction, including “beads and Jello shots” set the group up to become just the thing for those needing to have a righteous good time. The band became a huge draw all over Illinois, with no antidote in sight, bringing on the party atmosphere to every show played. After the two-year hiatus, Fallen Angel is now flying again, ready to deliver the promise of “nothing but a good time” everyone remembers from performances past. The Rewind opens the show, setting the stage for the triumphant return of our favorite Poison.
