It was a Monsters Ball on Tuesday March 10th, 2026 at Piere’s in Fort Wayne, Indiana with Butcher Babies, Lylvc and Remember Me crashing into town and melting our faces for the night!

Remember Me warmed things up for the evening! They are a 4 piece metalcore band based out of Indiana! They are not strangers to playing at Piere’s as they formed their band a couple of years ago and have been gracing the stage ever since. The band’s lineup consists of: Chris Storm[Vocals], Jonathan Ensz[Drums], Nathan Valdez[Guitar] and Justin Robbins[Bass].

Up next was Lylvc  (pronounced “Lilac”) a rock/hip-hop fusion band based out of North Carolina. After speaking to both vocalists prior to the show, I was so excited to see them perform. Energy and connection with their audience is important to them and it showed throughout their performance! They gave it their all and it was fun to witness. They also value the importance of mental health which I greatly appreciated. They played a cover of Papercut(Linkin Park)which they did amazing on. They also played their new single Starless. The band’s lineup is made up of: Alyse Zavala[vocals], Oscar Romero[vocals], Cameron Gillette[keyboard/synth/rhythm guitar], Seth Morgan[lead guitar] and Lee Hutt[drums].

Butcher Babies, heavy metal band based out of LA,  headlined for the night and they delivered a power packed performance! Vocalist Heidi Shepherd is one of the most energetic and dynamic artists I have ever seen. She commands the room and this show was no exception! Their crowd interaction and relentless energy is a force to be reckoned with! At one point near the end of their set Heidi entered the crowd and sang from the center of a circle pit! That was so fun to witness live. After this tour ends, the band is headed to Europe and then playing a couple of festivals here in the United States. If you like metal and intensity, you will love Butcher Babies!
