Bio
Fronted by Bekki Friesen on rhythm guitar/lead vocals, Domenica has begun to split away from the "chick band" stereotype. With sarcastic, tongue and cheek lyrics delivered by a group of tightly knit friends whom all have well over 10 years of performance experience each. Domenica's explosive and solid live performances have taken them to the top of the local scene and have seen their reach extend over western Canada. Domenica in essence, is a perfect balance between aggressive and pretty: metal rock with pop hooks. This balance is evident in their stage show, their writing style, and their individual demeanors. Domenica is a sincerely organic project that has grown into a popular local, and now somewhat Canadian, affair.

The band has performed all over the world and showcased at key festivals including the North By North East Go Go. “Reminding us of bands like POD and Evanescence (in that they have some pop hooks as well as strong rock riffs), their metal chops come to the fore in the live show, which almost split it up. 'I Love My Gun' is the recommended listening from their MySpace” With Inc.) and Canada (C12/EMI) in August this year, the debut single “Above Me” is available for free download at www.domenica.ca coast to coast across North America.
