After more than 6 month rehearsing  5 days a week, Powerage got the attention of Lipstick International Music Agency and began touring not only first in Switzerland but also in Europe. It was like magic between the way the musicians played and the music they chose to play. The guitar player was only 18 years old at that time and full of energy. The singer, 26 years old was like a live wire. After having searching for 10 years musicians who could click at the first encounter. 
"POWERAGE BAND"
WAS BORN!

December Concert

They started the tour in different places of the Ticino  (County) on the Italian part of Switzerland. 
They toured in many cities  but the very first was  the beautiful Roman city of Ascona (Lago Maggiore) a well known tourist attraction.
The club where they performed was called 
"LE STELLE. 
The particularity of this club was that the (walls) were covered in steel and from the outside you couldn't hear any sound even with this powerful band  "The Poweraage".
They performed one night in December,  before Christmas in front of more than 2000 people. The next day the  news papers revues were full of praise for this professional band who deserved to go in the International Music scene, and they did it!
