WHO ARE THEY: This Massachusetts-based hard rock quartet’s big break was due in part to the band’s run-in with Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst at a show in Hartford, Conn., in 1997, when Staind was slated to open for Limp Bizkit. Backstage before the show began, the volatile Durst got into a heated exchange with the members of Staind over the cover art of their self-released CD, but after witnessing their live performance he was impressed and exchanged phone numbers with the musicians. A major record label deal was soon to follow and the rest is rock history. Staind’s breakthrough album was 2002’s “Break the Cycle,” which featured the hit single, “It’s Been Awhile”. Three of the band’s five albums have entered the Billboard 200 Album Chart” at No. 1.
WHAT TO EXPECT: These hard rockers rode the post-grunge wave of success in the early 2000s and amassed a sizeable following in the process. Staind is known for putting on a heavy show filled with a good mixture of material from all of their albums. There is not much change in the setlists from night to night, however. In recent years, singer Aaron Lewis has toured as a solo artist while the band has been inactive, but the full band finally returned to the stage late last month. Though the band is known for its hit albums more than its hit singles, fans can definitely expect to hear the band’s biggest hit “It’s Been Awhile.”
