The question really isn't who are 12 Years Coming. It's more like WHAT is 12 Years Coming. The first thing that people react to at a 12YC show is just that...
The show:
It has been said that a 12YC show is the closest thing you can get to a full-on arena experience up close & personal. Lights, action, girls girls girls! It is, plain & simple, a return to the rock show.
The songs:
"Shut Up", the bands debut EP, has been selling out as fast as they come in. If people don't pick it up as soon as they see the album cover (& it never hurts to have a cover that screams "you have to have this"), they do once the songs are performed.
Tongue-n-cheek hard rock (think Motley's "Sticky Sweet") that fits right in with Buckcherry and Nickelback on the radio, while keeping true to their hard rock influences (Motley Crue, GnR & Aerosmith just to name a few).
The achievements:
Top on the bands lists of achievements are the many benefits they do for not only their own communities, but for anyone who is in need of help. In April of '06, they organized a benefit for a little girl with cancer & with help from their promotion company, Rock Widow Promotions, raised over $11,000....with only 3 weeks planning! In March '07, a fellow musician across the state was in a horrible car accident, & they quickly scheduled a benefit show to raise money for his medical bills. Christmas '06 the band played "Rock 4 Christmas" & raised more money & toys for Nebraska kids than any previous year. There have been more, & will be many more to come.
12 Years Coming was selected to record "Shout At The Devil" for Versailles Records upcoming "Too Fast For Love: A Millennium Tribute To Motley Crue", due in stores June 5, 2007, already being heavily hyped on motley.com.
Another credit that the band is particularly proud of is their fans. Their fans are rabid, driving across state to see the show & devoting websites & myspace pages to them. There are more & more people that have become such fans that they haven't missed a show in months, & with 2-3 shows/week, that's amazing. It's become quite common for fans to drive upwards of 4 hours to see the show.
