VIXEN Mohegan Sun Casino Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut November 10, 2019 Photos & Review by Frank Piercy This has been a year of change for Vixen.  Long time lead singer Janet Gardner had stepped away from the band to focus on family and a solo career. Lorraine Lewis of the band Femme Fatale stepped into into Janet Gardner’s spot on vocals. Ironically, it was almost a year to the day since Vixen last stepped onto the stage at the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den, the last time that Janet riled up the Vixen crowd in Uncasville, Connecticut. This night would be the second time that I haveRead More →

VIXEN Mohegan Sun Casino Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut November 11, 2018 A good crowd on a Sunday night coming together for great music at the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den, a free show and the Wolf Den always has great entertainment lined up.  The stage was set that night for Vixen to perform one last show in 2018 in front of a room full of Vixen faithfuls. That past weekend wrapped up the 2018 tours for the band, with this one last show at the Wolf Den that night. The thing about 80’s era rock fans and bands, is that both are equally loyal when itRead More →

AUTOGRAPH | VIXEN | SLAUGHTER ROCK OF THE 80’s Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville, Connecticut October 6, 2017 There is nothing like a night at the Casino, and unlike the night before at Hampton Beach Casino in New Hampshire, a Casino with slot machines. This was one of those rare occasions that I actually was given free tickets to a show I actually wanted to go to and get to take the wife with me. I thought what the heck, why not put in to shoot this one, I was going to be there anyways. Autograph was the first band to hit the stage. I haveRead More →

VIXEN Mohegan Sun Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut April 27, 2017 It had been a long time since I’ve seen Vixen live. The year was 1989 when I first saw Vixen when they opened up for Ozzy along with White Lion at the Centrum (now DCU Center) in Worcester, Massachusetts. Talk about a memorable show with that line-up. Back in the days when a ticket for a show like that went for around $20. Those were the days. Vixen has still remained a constant in my regular musical playlist to this day. Vixen was out on the road again and this night it was at the Wolf DenRead More →

VIXEN February 27, 2016 Mohegan Sun Wolf Den Uncasville, Connecticut There is nothing better then going to the Mohegan Sun with money in your pocket and the anticipation of spending the evening with beautiful women and great live music in the Wolf Den.

The evening started off with a capacity crowd in the Den and people still waiting and hoping to get in and join the party as the vivacious women of Vixen walked unto the stage. The crowd erupted into a roar as theyRead More →
