Metröpolis
Biography
Metröpolis was formed by Marcus in 2009. He roped in Fonz to help get the band on its feet and Fonz never left!! They played their first gig at Chesterfield FC's clubhouse. Little did they know then that the band would play at the new Chesterfield Football stadium years later to launch their 2nd EP. Metröpolis has gone through various line up changes and has gone from being primarily an originals band releasing 3 EPs and 2 albums to being one of the best classic rock cover acts in the North. They have headlined the O2 Academy room 2 and have played various festivals and venues.
Metröpolis are well known and loved on the rock covers circuit for putting on a professional show which includes their massive lighting rig. They continue to keep the set list fresh and deliver an excellent night of classic rock covers. Coming to a venue near you....

DRUMS
Hi, I am Marcus and I formed Metröpolis in 2009. I love all types of music including Motörhead, Little Richard and Joe Bonnamassa. I play a Mapex Saturn 5 kit, Sonor Mikkey Dee signature snare with Paiste 2002 cymbals, DW 5000 pedals and Wincent sticks. I love to play fast and loud and creating a show that people will remember !

LEAD VOCALS.
Hi, I’m Calida and I met the Metropolis guys about 10 years ago when I was in a covers band called Trinity Road, as we played a couple of support slots for them. Singing since I was about 12, I’ve been in choirs, school musicals, competitions; and then as an adult in covers, tributes and originals - so yeah, some experience over those years! Currently, as well as being in Metropolis I’m the Axl part of an all-girls Guns & Roses tribute (Bras & Roses) and I also work on Synthwave projects with Fonz, releasing one track a month on streaming sites. I grew up on Bon Jovi, AC/DC and Micheal Bolton, amongst a family of bikers and tattooists (I have an sv650 myself). My favourite bands on the planet right now are Mother Vulture and Avatar, and I spend all my money going to gigs and festivals.

GUITAR AND BACKING VOCALS
Hi, I am Fonz and I am proud to say I am one of the founding members of the band. I undertook lead vocal duties for many years but I am ecstatic that Calida has joined as lead singer. I love Whitesnake, Vixen, Van Halen and all the 80's rock legends. I use an EVH Wolfgang Special, Laney amplification and MXR pedals.
Clare "Izzy" Bruzsa
LEAD GUITAR
What’s up Party People!
My name is Clare (or "Izzy" after playing that role in an all-girl GnR tribute band!), I am an over-excited puppy to have taken up Lead Guitar duties for Metropolis!
I grew up in London & always had a guitar in my hands, thanks to moving up to Sheffield in recent years, that my underlying obsession for guitar got to truly take over!
Inspired by this musical city & surrounded by great musicians at every turn, I’ve been nurtured and mentored by Sheffield’s finest in the local scene, who next to my husband & amazing little boy, support me to live out this crazy dream.
Metropolis’ set is full of my favourite rock classics, but away from gigging, I’m into all things metal & heavy & seem to be permanently stuck in the 90s!
