May 1 2008 Free Fraze Gang Concert this Sat. May 3 2008 in remembrance of David Glenn Moore 1961 - 2008 Dave has been a friend of the guys for over 20 years going back to the Brighton Rock days and has been a true fan & supporter of Fraze Gang since day one. His favorite song from the Fraze Gang cd was "Stargazer" of which he would play before every cancer treatment to get him pumped up. The lines "take what's in front of you & turn it around, cause everybody sings the blues, so stand your ground" really struck a chord for Dave and gave him hope. One of Dave's final requests was, instead of a traditional funeral he wanted to have a Rockin bash with family, friends & Fraze Gang. The band is truly honored & will be Kicking Ass Davie Moore style! This party is open to everyone & the guys invite you to come celebrate the life of a great father, friend & the biggest Montreal Canadians fan ever! YOU ROCK DAVIE!
WE MISS YOU! (for more details click "HERE")
