Touring

Domenica has toured Canada and the United States independently since 2006. Since then, they have toured successfully through Canada, the USA, Europe, and Japan.

In addition to tour dates, the band has performed at industry conferences such as Canadian Music Week (2006 & 2009), NXNE (2007), Musexpo Europe (2008), Popkomm (2008), Musexpo Los Angeles (2009), Canadian Music Week 2010, South By Southwest 2010, and Redgorilla Music Fest 2010.

In 2010, Domenica played at the Canadinns Stadium in Winnipeg, Canada for Rock on the Range.

Television and film

In 2007, their track "I Love My Gun" was featured in the television series renegadepress.com.[4] In 2008, Domenica performed live and interviewed on Episode 6 (Season 1) of Arbor Live, a national television show on APTN in Canada.[5] Additionally, singer Bekki Friesen contributed vocals to "Give it All I've Got", the second main title song from the Center Stage 2: Turn It Up soundtrack.[6] "What Goes Around" is featured in the movie soundtrack for Degrassi Takes Manhattan.

Radio

Domenica's first single, "The Luxury", landed them a spot on Power 97 FM's Class of 200x compilation CD in 2006 as the first female-fronted band to accomplish this. Heavy airplay of the single followed on select Canadian radio stations.

Following the release of their debut studio album The Luxury in 2009, their single "Above Me" received heavy video and radio rotation in Canada and an equal amount of support across Japan. Their second single from this album, "What Goes Around", written by singer Bekki Friesen and Marcos Curiel (P.O.D) was chosen by Burrn! magazine's (Japan) editors as one of the top 10 hard rock/heavy metal songs of 2009.[7] In the October 2010 issue of Burrn! magazine (Japan), Bekki Friesen is featured as a female rock guitarist to notice.
