Saturday Night, April 4th, 2026
Las Vegas has seen its share of explosive nights in the music business, but every once in a while, a band walks in and reminds the city what real rock ’n’ roll looks and feels like. On this sold‑out night inside The Composers Room, Crash Midnight didn’t just perform — they detonated!
For 90 relentless minutes, the band delivered a high‑octane, crowd‑shaking performance that proved why they’re one of the most dangerous and exciting rock acts out of the Las Vegas music scene.

This wasn’t nostalgia. This wasn’t a tribute. This was five world‑class musicians, locked in like a single organism, unleashing two full albums of brand‑new material with the confidence of a band that knows exactly who they are and exactly where they’re going!
The Band: Five Musicians, One Machine!
I call the band's lineup a masterclass in controlled chaos!
- Front, Shaun Soho (Pictured Above) owned the room from the second he stepped onstage. He’s got that rare combination of grit, charisma, and danger — the kind of frontman who doesn’t just sing the songs, he lives them. His vocals cut through the room like a switchblade, and his swagger kept the crowd hanging on every move. Soho doesn’t perform at you — he pulls you into the world of Crash Midnight and dares you to try and get out.
Drake (bass) (Pictured Above) — thunderous, melodic, and driving the engine room with absolute authority.
Donovan Tryon (guitar) (Pictured Above) — razor‑sharp riffs and explosive leads.
Lahi Cassiano (guitar) (Pictured Above) — tone for days, groove for miles, and a perfect counterweight to Donovan.
Mitchell Terranova (drums) (Pictured Above) —He's a human sledgehammer, playing with precision, power, and zero hesitation.
Together, they weren’t just tight — they were surgically locked‑in, the kind of chemistry you only get from a band that’s hungry, fearless, and firing on all cylinders.
A Setlist That Hit Like a Freight Train
Crash Midnight didn’t waste a second. They came out swinging with “CHINATOWN,” “IMMIGRANT,” and “DYNA,” immediately setting the tone: loud, fast, and unapologetically raw.
The new material — marked with * — was the real revelation of the night.
KILLING TIME
HARD LINE DOWN*
CALIFORNIA'S BURNING*
SOCIALITE*
DIG IT ON THE HIGHWAY*
CRAZY*
FUCKIN' DISEASE*
LIES*
…Their set list proved that Crash Midnight isn’t just adding to their catalog — they’re leveling up. These tracks hit with the confidence of future fan favorites, blending street‑level storytelling with arena‑sized hooks.
The band also tore through explosive covers like “HAIR OF THE DOG,” “FIRE WOMAN,” “ROADHOUSE,” and a blistering, full‑tilt “GIMME SHELTER” that had the entire room rock'n!
By the time they reached “SUNSET$,” the packed house was fully in the palm of their hand — loud and completely locked into the moment.
A Night That Felt Like a Turning Point
There are shows you enjoy, and then there are shows you remember. This show felt like both! — The kind of night fans will brag about being at when Crash Midnight explodes onto a bigger national stage.
The Composers Room was the perfect setting: intimate enough to feel the heat, big enough to let the sound breathe, and packed wall‑to‑wall with fans who knew they were witnessing something really special.
Crash Midnight didn’t just play a show. They announced a new era!
And if these two new albums of new material are any indication, that era is going to be loud, dangerous, and absolutely unforgettable!
{My Take}
When the final notes rang out, it was clear Crash Midnight had delivered a performance as flawless as it was ferocious — a masterclass in both sound and visual spectacle. Every member of the band operated at peak precision, each one elevating the others the way only true top‑shelf musicians can. Soho’s command of the room, Drake’s seismic bass lines, Donovan and Lahi’s twin‑guitar firestorm, and Mitchell’s explosive drumming fused into a single, unstoppable force. And when they closed the night with a blistering, full‑throttle run through of Ted Nugent’s “Stranglehold,” the message was unmistakable. After tonight, Crash Midnight doesn’t just have momentum — they’ve got a stranglehold on the Las Vegas music scene!
