ACROSS THE DESKBy Whitey & Robin Noll

April showers bring May flowers, all I have to say is that we

are going to have plenty of May flowers. We have had some

beautiful weather so I don’t mind the rain it is far better than

the cold and snow. I’m lifting up in prayer all those that are

being tormented by the tornadoes and floods happening to the

south of us. I can’t even imagine how people cope with loosing

all their earthly possessions and having to start over. With all

the devastation there are many great people that come together

to help people rebuild and it is heart warming to see how

people work together to heal these devastated communities.

Music is also a great way to heal and to help during crisis in

life. Music is also a way for us to escape our troubles.

There are a number of events coming up in May that will do

just that. Musicians join together with clubs and promoters to

bring people together to have a good time and raise funds for

worthwhile causes. There is no short supply of people who

need a helping hand. One such event is happening on Saturday,

May 10th at Gullifty’s in Camp Hill as Pentagon performs a

Benefit for Cindy Myerly. Cindy is Pentagon’s fan club

president and has several debilitating illnesses not covered by

insurance that have robbed her of her quality of life and have

devastated her financial. Cost will be $15 per person. 100% of

the proceeds go to Cindy. Tickets for the benefit are available

by sending a check payable to Cindy Myerly to Vicki’s Angel

Foundation, 511 Bridge St., P.O. Box 174, New

Cumberland, PA 17070. Tickets also will be available at the

door the night of the show but Pentagon would love for as

many to be sold in advance as possible. If you are unable to

attend the performance you are still welcome to send a

donation to the address listed before, just mark it donation in

the for line.

On May 17th A.R.M.E.D. has put together an event to

support The Childrens Miracle Network. A Poker run during

the day and awesome bands at night! It is the 1st Annual

Halfway to Pay for Play!!! This is gonna be a long ROCKIN’

day! They start out with a Poker Run at 12:30 with a $15

donation you will get one awesome ride and get in to Tubby’s

in Duncannon, PA to see some WICKED bands in the evening!

Bikes will be leaving in groups of about 25 every 15 minutes as

cont inued on pg 2 4 . . .


OUT & ABOUTby RACHEL ROCKS!

Yeehaw!!! The May issue.. that means that summer is

right around the corner! It has been a long winter!! The

recent sunshiney days have been amazing. Even the

Spring rain is beautiful, it makes everything seem like

it’s glowing! I never really write in a notebook like a true

reporter should, so every month I’m sort of amazed at the

amount of bands I saw. It’s not easy having a family, a

new job, etc., and still find the time and the money to get

out there and Support Local Music!! I love it so much

tho, it’s hard to hold me back from doing something that

makes me so happy! I just magically create more hours

in my day, but don’t worry, that’s my little special secret!

The first band of the month was Steel at Double K. I

could see these guys every weekend and it wouldn’t be

enough! Every time I get a chance to make it to a show,

not only do a get a great workout with all the dancing

and shenanigans, but my face gets a workout just from

all the smiling. Every Steel show is filled with members

of Steel Nation, or the Steel Army, or what I like to call,

the Steel Family. This night was Dave Magarro’s

birthday! Happy belated birthday Dave!! These guys

don’t need a birthday to throw a party, but it definitely

helps to have some delicious birthday cake to end your

day. Steel plays some great covers of all of my favorite

metal bands, and even a few originals from their

“Hammered” CD. If you want to guarantee yourself a

good night out on the town, check out their schedule and

come party with them soon!

My next night out was a super busy one, zooming all

over the place. I started out back at Double K because

Take 147 was playing there again. This was a last minute

fill in night for them, and they still drew one heck of a

crowd. With them being right in my backyard I couldn’t

refuse to go over and at least say Hi and hear a song or

two. I was glad to see the party was in full swing, and

quickly zoomed to my next stop.

I really wanted to go check out the 717 Music Awards.

I stopped in and took a few quick pics, but that place was

packed from wall to wall elbows to hiney holes! I

couldn’t believe how many people were there. I heard

the final count was over 500!! There are nights like these

that I miss Gullifty’s 2nd tier. It was so hard shoving my

way to the front. Windchill was taking control of the

stage when I was there. Nick Myers puts on a great

event. He’s been doing an amazing job supporting

original artists from the 717 and beyond. Please keep an

eye on Gullifty’s ad and get out there to support these

amazing original shows. There aren’t many venues left in

our area that let these bands play, but Gullifty’s has been

supporting them for over 30 years!

I tried to go see Fierce at The Fieldhouse next. When

I got there I had to park up top in overflow parking

which meant it was going to be crowded, but I wasn’t

expecting it to be as crowded as it was! I couldn’t even

walk inside to even get anywhere close to the band. I

decided to leave and make them my last stop.

I quickly zoomed across the highway over to The

Alpine Inn for S.O.S. These guys always have a great

crowd at The Alpine. They are definitely a local

favorite. Even their security guy loves these guys and

can’t refuse to come out and dance to a song or two! It’s

awesome to see them getting crazier on stage. Stage

presence is crucial in any party band, and these guys

definitely have it going on. I’m also excited to see them

doing a lot more harmonies, and back-up vocals. It’s

great to see these guys back in the groove with a full

band ready to rock the night away. Check out their ad in

cont inued on page 1 2 . . .


this issue and get out there and enjoy some great local

music!!

My final stop of the night I zoomed back over to The

Fieldhouse for Fierce. I found out it was Mary’s

birthday so the crowd was their in full force to help her

celebrate! Fierce just got a new lead singer, Marti. I

only heard a few songs, but from what I heard Marti is

an amazing singer. Her voice was still going strong at the

end of the night and Fierce sings some amazing songs

that push anyone’s vocals to the limit. Even with a new

singer Fierce didn’t miss a beat. Check out their

schedule in this issue and get out there and give Marti a

nice big Fierce welcome!

My friends Sabrina and Patty were heading up to

Tubby’s and asked if I wanted to go along for the ride,

and I’m glad I did. I’ve heard a lot about 1 Echo 1 and

I’m glad I finally got the chance to catch them Out and

About at Tubby’s. 1 Echo 1 is all original rock band that

have their own unique sound. Their lead vocalist has

such nice clear vocals you can actually hear the very

meaningful lyrics in their songs. Of course I’m also

partial because they have a keyboard player too that ads

in the extra sound you don’t hear too often in bands

around here. Overall 1 Echo 1 quickly sucked you into

their show and had you singing along to their very

addictive hooks in every song. They’ve recently created

their first official music video that’s on their Facebook

page and worth checking out.

Broken Fayth is one of our newer advertisers and is

another band I’ve been trying to see live for quite a few

years. They’ve come down to the MMC and played on

our Acoustic Stage the past few years, but it was

awesome to finally see them rockin’ out as a full band.

Chuck is another lead singer with such clear vocals he

can quickly suck you in to his lyrics and pull you into the

show. Broken Fayth is really working hard to promote

their band and get their name out there to the masses. I

was excited to see them debuting their first official

Broken Fayth t-shirts. It’s not easy to get a full band

organized enough to get them marketing themselves and

pushing for that next step, but that’s exactly what

Broken Fayth is doing. Check out their ad in this issue

and get out there to support these guys so you can say “I

knew them when”… The sky is the limit and these guys

are just starting to fly!

Again on a Friday night I saw a post that Save the City

was back at Colonial Lounge so I stopped in. This time

their cello player, Sam was there playing along. It seems

that the cello has been making a come back to area

stages. I’ve seen it quite a few times. It definitely

provides a very cool added element to a lot of my

favorite songs even from the 80’s to the most present

favorites. I heard these guys and gal will be entertaining

the Color Runners down in Hershey at the end of May.

I’ll be running on May 31st, and I’m thrilled to know

they will be there entertaining the masses! Hopefully

soon these guys will get out there and promote

themselves so they can be playing other cool venues that

actually have a true dance floor.

Smokin Gunnz was playing at Double K, and one

thing you knew for sure is the locals would be happy.

These guys are definitely a crowd favorite. It’s one of

those shows that brings everyone out of the woodwork.

There isn’t much of a dance floor at Double K, but the

Smokin Gunnz fans take advantage of every square inch

and then some. No matter how crowded Double K gets

the fans are amazing. Every one just squeezes in and has

a great night supporting live music! It’s another one of

those feel good nights that I love going out to support

every chance I get. Their show with their deep fried

obviously too young to truly enjoy the Metronexperience, even tho I did see The Inciters there and fellin love with Rej Troup when I was about 7! Ha! Sheaand Swish were the main entertainers of the night andthey always pack the Blue Moose, so I wasn’t toosurprised by the crowd. All night it seemed like thepeople just kept streaming in. To end the night in fullthrowback mode Jeffrey Gaines took the stage too!Google Jeffrey Gaines and get to one of his shows orbuy one of his many CDs! This guy is a one man bandthat is truly an amazing musician. He’s traveled theworld with his music, and it was honor to have him playin our tiny town of Linglestown. To finish off my month I headed down to the LaunchMusic Festival in Lancaster. With my new job Iunfortunately couldn’t attend the daily conference, butthe music in the evening was crazy good, and I couldn’thelp but get down there to support it. I mainly stayed atthe Aussie & The Fox and enjoyed some solo artists andended the night with Ashley Leone and her full band.When I got there Scott Peoples, one of our neweradvertisers was on the stage. Man he can sing! And hisfingers were like lightning over the frets of the guitar.I’m so glad he’s from right here in New Cumberland, Ican guarantee you I will be checking out more of hisshows! You can check out Scott for yourself on hiswebsite at www.scottplaysguitar.com. He definitely doesplay the guitar and he plays it very well! You can alsocheck out his ad in this issue and get him booked at yourvenue soon! I took a walk outside on this beautiful night andfollowed the music up to the plaza to listen to DietrichStrause and his full band. Wow! These guys could play.It was a little chilly, but they didn’t let it stop them fromsharing their music. As their set went on the crowdslowly grew. It was awesome to watch their music drawthe people in. I was hoping to catch MarshmellowOvercoat after these guys, but unfortunately they were ano show, so I headed back to Aussie & The Fox. When I got back Jared Costa was on the stage. Jaredcame up from Philly to play the conference. I’ve seen hisname around before and glad I finally got a chance tohear him. He not only plays the guitar, but also plays theharmonica. His songs were all unique and great to hear. Iloved his little suitcase display of his merch and CDs sopeople knew who he was. Again at big events it’s hard toknow who all the bands are. One little sign or even a T-shirt hanging from a mic stand lets people know who youare. Most bands play for free at these things, at least youcan get some new friends or fans by promoting the nameof your band. The last band of the month and of the night was AshleyLeone. I was lucky enough to hear her at the MMC andwhen I saw she was playing back in the area, I didn’twant to miss it! Every time I hear her I can’t believeshe’s only 18! She’s been playing coffee shops andanyone that would allow her to play since she was 14.She is a natural singer and it shows. She has someamazing videos and recorded songs on her website,www.ashleyleone.com. She’s playing all around thePhiladelphia area throughout May. If you get the chanceyou really need to check this girl out! She’s headingdown to Nashville in August to attend college andhopefully spend lots of time writing and playing andhelping her get her music heard by the masses! Ashley isdetermined to make music her full-time career, and weall know a little determination goes a long way! Goodluck Ashley!! [Editor note: Rachel Rocks reformatted her disc on hercamera before retrieving her Launch hotshots, sorry] Well that’s all for this month. Time to get going so Ican get to my day-time job. I sure wish you didn’t needmoney to survive in this world, but unfortunately it’s anecessary evil. I hope you all have a great warm,sunshiney month!! Please get out there and support somelive music. The decks are opening and music will beeverywhere!! When you see me Out and About pleasestop me and say Hi! If you have any questions orcomments, e-mail me at [email protected].

NATIONALS By Eric Hoffman

I’m back Rockers ‘N’ Rollers! Apologies for my

article absent last month, I was amidst a yearly music

vacation to Los Angeles. The music scene in southern

California is always truly unbelievable. A great trip

which included shows of Missing Persons and The

Orwells. And visiting the rehearsal rooms of The Binges

and Dave Krusen (Pearl Jam). A great experience to run

into artists daily, like Tom Morello (Rage Against The

Machine), Ryan Adams, Moby, Reverend Horton

Heat, Jared and Caleb Followhill (Kings of Leon). A

massive THANK YOU to former Harrisburg native Torr

Pizzillo (La La La Birdtime) for making it possible and

his hospitality in West Hollywood.

Some other great shows the past month included Har

Mar Superstar at Lancaster’s Chameleon —audiences

are initially thrown off by his sexual prowess, but are

true believers of this R&B artist by the end of the show.

Genitorturers brought their extreme industrial metal

show to Reverb in Reading. My thanks and appreciation

to Reverb for the guest list. The Orwells at U Street

Music Hall in Washington DC —I was fortunate to catch

this band 3 times on two coasts in one month. NME

Magazine recently claimed The Orwells “The best new

live band in America.” Lady Gaga closed the doors of

NYC famous Roseland Ballroom after 92 years of

business, with 7 sold out shows. Gaga was extremely

talented and uniquely entertaining. The Sounds brought

their Swedish post-punk revival sound to Philadelphia’s

Union Transfer and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

celebrated Rock 107’s Birthday Bash in Wilkes-Barre.

Joan Jett seemed extremely happy as she rocked the

entire show with a huge noticeable smile.

NATIONALS news: AC/DC issued a statement

regarding the future of the band. There had been rumors

of the band retiring due to guitarist and founding member

Malcolm Young suffering a stroke. AC/DC stated

“Malcolm is taking a break from the band due to ill

health .. the band will continue to make music.” The

band has seen 13 personnel changes over the years so

one more change does not cause for retirement. Singer,

Brian Johnson, says the band plans to start working on

new music in May in Vancouver, “We’re going to pick up

some guitars, have a plonk, and see if anybody has got

any tunes or ideas. If anything happens, we’ll record it.”

And added “One of the boys is a little sick, but he’s

getting better.” AC/DC hinted a possible tour to mark

the band’s 40th anniversary, playing 40 shows in 40

venues.

The Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame Induction

Ceremony happened in New York on April 10th. KISS,

Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band were also

joined by Hall & Oates, Peter Gabriel, Cat Stevens

and an absent Linda Ronstadt. Nirvana used four

women rockers to sing Kurt Cobain’s songs, including

Joan Jett, Lorde, Kim Gordon and St. Vincent.

Michael Stipe of R.E.M. inducted the band saying

“Nirvana tapped into a voice that was yearning to be

heard.” KISS refused to play, due to original two

members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley opinion, that

the replacements for ex-bandmates Ace Frehley and

Peter Criss should perform at the ceremony instead of

the original four. On stage the estranged band members

spoke warmly of each other. Drummer Criss professed

“You’ve got to forgive to live.” Nearly every surviving

member of KISS was at the ceremony but felt unfair that

Hall of Fame only inducted the original four members.

Paul McCartney released 4 summer tour dates for his

“Out There” tour including a stop to Pittsburgh’s Consol

Energy Center on July 7th. The former Beatle has

already trekked 23 cities with this tour across South

America, Europe, North America and Japan. Macca

promises “more dates to be announced.”

Aerosmith is bringing their “Let Rock Rule” tour to

20 cities this summer. Closest stops include August 31st

– Atlantic City, NJ Boardwalk Hall and September 6th

– Bristow, Va., Jiffy Lube Live. The tour will feature

special guest Slash with Myles Kennedy and The

Conspirators. Singer, Steven Tyler, joked that the band

will play “a couple new songs … if we get some time to

rehearse.”

Foxy Shazam have recorded a new album and

announced a 24 date spring/summer concert run with

opening night in Harrisburg on May 27th at Fed Live.

Caleb Followhill (Kings Of Leon)



THEPROFESSOR’S“LIVE REVIEWS”

By Jim Price

Let the explosion begin! With temperatures warming

up, the outdoor live music season starts to kick into high

gear this month with several festivals, benefits and other

events. It’s already starting to look like a busy warm

weather season for live music!

Indoor venues provided multiple highlights in recent

weeks, including several at McGarvey’s (formerly

Aldo’s) in Altoona. Gettysburg’s Ghost Of War

headlined an epic heavy-rocking four-band blowout in

late March. I arrived in time to see just half of openers

Lies, Inc.’s final song; more on them later. Nanty Glo-

based rockers One Adam 12 made their first

McGarvey’s visit count, as they delivered a strong set of

original hard rock with their own unique stamp.

Singer/guitarist Lloyd Rummell, guitarist Bill Stiles,

bassist Joe Stiles, keyboardist Tony Dostal and drummer

Brandon Adams mixed tunes from their debut CD,

“”Persistence Pays”, and newer songs. One Adam 12

set the tone with their new surf-toned, zombie

apocalypse-themed rocker “Alive on Dead,” and played

their radio song “Devil on My Back,” “Bates Motel,”

“Bodysnatcher” and more. Johnstown’s Blood Union

then welcomed the crowd to the “party of blood” as they

cranked up a high-powered, action-packed set of original

heavy rock. The Inside Out tandem of frontman Tim

Frick and guitarist Jay Snyder, along with guitarist

Darien Lux, bassist Ron Gallucci and drummer Nick

Tercek fired off dark-toned, explosive originals such as

“Wicked,” “Killing Me,” “In My Blood,” “Wake the

Dead” and more. Their stage presentation was confident

and forceful, with Tim rallying the crowd into an excited

frenzy as the set moved along. This set the table for

Ghost Of War, batting clean-up, to drive one out of the

park. A group whose resumé includes serving as backing

band for Anthrax singer Neil Turbin and Metal

Church frontman Ronnie Munroe, Ghost Of War

opened with two original songs, “No Redemption” and

“Heaven’s Burning,” before launching into a succession

of classic metal and hard rock gems, including a number

of forgotten favorites. Displaying a powerful, high-

ranging voice, singer Ronnie Peterson took control of

the crowd from the start, firing them up into the spirit of

the party; guitarist Thane Farace, bassist Gary Daniels

and drummer Jim Mathis provided the thunderous,

hard-driving backdrop. Ghost Of War built momentum

as they pulled out such numbers as Dio’s “Holy Diver,”

Judas Priest’s “Grinder,” Anthrax’s “Metal Thrashing

Mad,” Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon,” Black

Sabbath’s “Mob Rules,” Iron Maiden’s “Hallowed Be

Thy Name,” Metal Church’s “Start the Fire,” Kiss’ “God

of Thunder” and more. Sponsored by Jagermeister,

Ghost Of War tossed out plentiful Jager swag and led

the crowd on several jubilant toasts, turning their set into

a happy-go-lucky metal celebration. The group then

slammed the exclamation point on their set with their

excellent rendering of Dream Theater’s “Pull Me

Under.” Following this show, Ghost Of War headed to

Jacksonville last month to perform at the Monster

Energy Welcome to Rockville festival. Watch for Ghost

Of War’s return to McGarvey’s later this year.

Harrisburg’s StarChild came, saw and conquered

during their first visit to McGarvey’s stage last month.

Lies, Inc. launched the festivities with a strong set of

their progressive-leaning brand of heavy modern rock.

Singer Lily Taylor again displayed a fiery and powerful

voice against the busy, sturdy backdrops generated by



bassist Kent Tonkin, new guitarist Jarrett Bickel and

drummer Ron Brode. Lies, Inc. mixed older and newer

material, including the new “Crosshairs,” an updated

edition of “Don’t Blink,” plus “Waking the Misery,”

“Hypnotic” and more. StarChild then escalated the

party with an all-out, enthusiastic, NONSTOP two-hour-

plus set! Led by the hearty, enthusiastic delivery of

singer/guitarist Jerry Martin, StarChild quickly

established the mood of a Kiss-styled rock-and-roll party

and rocked the house like there was no tomorrow. Jerry,

guitarist X Bomb, bassist/singer Sharon Starr and

drummer Brandon Reece celebrated Kiss early and

often, breaking out impressive takes on “I Love It Loud,”

“Love Gun,” “Psycho Circus,” “Lick It Up,” “Do You

Love Me,” “Firehouse,” “Deuce,” “Strutter,” “Cold

Gin,” the night-ending “Rock and Roll All Night” and

more. StarChild also did their own Kiss-toned original

tunes, including “One More for the Road,” “Forever

Young,” “Change of Heart,” the new “Come Back for

More” (from their forthcoming Volume III CD, expected

out soon), “Her Amazing Grace” and more. Sharon also

flexed her vocal cords on a version of Joan Jett’s “I Hate

Myself for Loving You.” StarChild played at a high level

of excitement that never let up for the entire two-hour

duration; they gave it all on the stage! The crowd

savored every minute of it, and a late-arriving group of

partying women quickly graced the dance floor during

StarChild’s homestretch. StarChild won a number of

new fans this night, and they will return to McGarvey’s

in the fall.

Another group that gives all to their audiences is Chris

Woodward & Shindiggin,’ and they demonstrated this

again during their late March visit to McGarvey’s. The

evening opened with solo sets from Brandon Rhibik

and Rogan Allen. Embracing the popularity of today’s

hit country music; namesake, singer and guitarist Chris,

guitarist/singer Mike Gambardella, bassist Paul Rainey

and drummer/singer Zac Grace quickly packed

McGarvey’s dance floor during both of their sets, as

they celebrated favorites by Kip Moore, Florida Georgia

Line, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Big & Rich and more.

The group provided many highlights along the way;

welcoming both opening performers onstage to join in on

the fun during their first set, leaving the stage to set up

shop atop the pool table in the back of the room during

“Folsom Prison Blues,” and bringing audience members

onstage to help play the instruments during their ‘80s

rock/pop medley. They also morphed Wild Cherry’s

“Play That Funky (Country) Music” into a catchy funk-

country hybrid, and led a hearty crowd singalong on

Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart.” Based on this

night, it’s easy to see why Chris Woodward &

Shindiggin’ is steadily becoming busier across the

region, and even beyond the state’s borders. Watch for

their return to McGarvey’s in the fall.

Area musicians and the community converged on

Pellegrine’s in late March to help out an area cancer

patient. The Sue Kies (Myers) Cancer Benefit raised

more than $7,500 raised for Sue, who is battling two

forms of breast cancer. Music was constant throughout

the evening, with four bands performing on the main

stage, and the Backyard Rockers providing acoustic

transitions between bands at a nearby side stage area.

Root and the Fifths opened main stage activity and

returned for a later set; singer/guitarist Jae Smith,

guitarist/singer Kayla Feaster, bassist/singer Bethany

Helsel and drummer Tyke Dodson played a blend of

classic rocking favorites with a strong emphasis on the

1990s, doing numbers from Kenny Wayne Shepherd,

Social Distortion, Collective Soul, Black Keys, Gin

Blossoms, Cracker, Better Than Ezra, and even an

original song, “Light the Fuse.” Johnstown’s Stone

Bridge Blues Band then celebrated traditional electric

blues as they tapped into the lexicons of B.B. King,

Junior Wells, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Willie Dixon, Texas

Slim and more. Singer/guitarist Mike Borstnar,

singer/bassist Brian Moore, keyboardist Harold

Hayford and drummer John Mundy offered sturdy

renditions of blues canons like “Every Day I Have the

Blues,” “Messin’ with the Kid,” “Hoochie Coochie

Man,” “The Thrill Is Gone” and more; and they

welcomed guest drummer Bill Hocherl to sit in on one

number. Anchoring the benefit, The Sitch fired up the

party with rock, country and funky favorites. Singer

Dustin Reisling, guitarist Greg Larrimore, bassist/sax

man Ryan McCracken, keyboardist/trumpet player

Nate Beatty, bassist Art Martino and drummer Huck

James triggered dance floor action with tunes from

Finger Eleven, Luke Bryan, Beastie Boys, AC/DC, Black

Keys and more; a big highlight was Nate and Ryan firing

up the brass on Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” and

Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music.” And

Johnstown’s Lucky Lad Green capped the night with

original Irish-flavored punk rock that got much of the

remaining late crowd fired up and cheering. Singer Eric

Smay, lead guitarist Ryan McDonald, guitarist Steve

Boyle, bassist Jim Berkin and drummer Bret Berk

introduced numbers from their forthcoming EP like “Tale

of a Sailor,” “Lead Sled,” “Irish Pride,” “Bar Fight”

and more. Hats off to the organizers, The Sitch and Bill

Hocherl for their gear and production work, Pellegrine’s

and their staff, the bands, Rocky 104.9, and everybody

who attended and showed what community is all about!

Monster Track Supergroup reconvened on stage with

their latest shindig last month before a packed house at

Montoursville’s Mill Tavern. This turned into a gala

night that showcased a wide variety of music. Opening

the evening was a rising talent to be on the lookout for in

the months ahead, Williamsport-based singer and

The Professor continued....



songwriter Mallory Scoppa. Strumming acoustic guitar

and demonstrating a potent, clear voice, Mallory exuded

a bright singing style and personality as she performed

pleasant-toned original songs and select covers;

including her distinctive versions of the Rolling Stones’

“Wild Horses” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” Next

was Crossroads, who delivered a scorching set of classic

and blues-infused rock. Lead guitarist Bob Regan,

rhythm guitarist Ron Lee and bassist Tony Melfi all

shared singing duties, with Bill Schamberg providing

the drumbeats. Crossroads went for broke as they did

excellent work on tunes from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie

Ray Vaughan, Santana, ZZ Top, Dire Straits, Aerosmith

and more. This band had the crowd cheering, especially

Bob’s blazing guitar solo work! Flipside then celebrated

a milder brand of classic rock as they did numbers from

Gordon Lightfoot, Rolling Stones, Bob Seger, Crosby

Stills Nash & Young, Stevie Wonder and more. For this

night’s performance, the Flipside core of

singer/keyboardist Shane Wittman, guitarist Rock

Anello and guitarist Bob Lacerra was joined by bassist

Jamie Moyer, singer/mandolinist Cindy Person and

fill-in drummer Mike Mummey. Monster Track

Supergroup brought the party with their celebration of

1970s era rock. Singer Jeff Pittinger quickly established

that his voice was in fine form on the group’s second

song, as he emulated Pat Benatar’s vocal range on “Hit

Me with Your Best Shot.” Jeff, guitarists Bret Alexander

and Tony Harlan, bassist Jim Lovcik, keyboardist

Freeman White and drummer Jeremy Hummel also

executed crisp renditions of classics from Badfinger,

Blue Oyster Cult, Cat Stevens, Nick Gilder, ZZ Top,

Free, the Doors and more. They capped the set with a

great version of Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys Are Back in

Town,” with Bret and Tony teaming for precision dual

leads. Williamsport metalheads 44Mag slammed the lid

on the evening with their thrash-geared metal sound,

mixing originals and favorites. Lead howler Jared

Mondell, guitarist Pat Cioffi, bassist Jason Miller and

drummer Jesse Roedts drilled numbers from their

Outlaw Psychosis CD such as “Brain Douche” and

“D.U.I.,” and welcomed guest Tony Harlan to provide

his guitar-shredding capabilities on numbers by

Metallica, Slayer and more. When the crowd demanded

more at set’s end, 44Mag sent them home with their

popular original “50 Miles.” This excellent night again

proved that when Jeff Pittinger and Monster Track

Supergroup put together a party, they make it a

memorable event!

The new mach edition of Pittsburgh-based Rush tribute

Distant Signals made their Happy Valley debut last

month at The Arena in State College. Welcoming aboard

new drummer Dave Normile, Distant Signals amazed

as they fired off numbers from throughout the Rush

catalog; not just the obvious hits, but a lot of deeper cuts

as well! During their two sets, Distant Signals spanned

the Rush timeline, from an audience request for

“Working Man” off the first 1974 Rush album to several

songs off the group’s most recent Clockwork Angels disc

such as “Caravan” and “The Garden.” The group

covered a lot of the Rush catalog between those two

albums as well; playing radio staples like “Spirit of

Radio,” “Tom Sawyer,” “Red Barchetta,” “The Trees,”

“Subdivisions,” “Temples of Syrinx,” “Far Cry,”

“Limelight” and the night-ending “Closer to the Heart,”

plus deeper cuts like “The Enemy Within,” “Witch

Hunt,” “YYZ,” “Animate” and more. Distant Signals’

musicianship was dead-on; singer Dave Smith’s voice

closely paralleled Geddy Lee’s (and achieved some high

ranges Geddy probably can no longer do), Mike

Moscato’s guitar solos were amazing, Don Tomlinson’s

keyboard fills added color and depth, and new drummer

Dave’s Neal Peart-like precision rudiments combined

with tight bass lines from Matt Desantis to provide the

busy rhythmic foundation. With their updated roster and

stage show, Distant Signals brings the rush of Rush

music to stages through western PA and Ohio; they

perform at Pittsburgh’s Hard Rock Café May 3rd.

Harrisburg’s Badd Seed brought their brand of hard

modern rock back to The Arena in late March. Now

comprised of singer Dusty Whitherspoons, guitarists

Troy Wheland and Drew Simonian, bassist Dave

Garry and drummer Ron Matinchek, Badd Seed

sounded strong on heavy modern rock from Staind,

Redlight King, System Of A Down, A Perfect Circle,

Saving Abel, Seether, Pop Evil, Sixx A.M. and others,

plus impressive original tunes like “Wide Open,” “Drift

and Die,” “Let Me Run” and more. Dusty provided

excitement up front as he stalked the front of the stage

and brought the fury, and the rest of the group was sharp

and powerful behind him. Badd Seed maintained an

airtight pace between songs and kept the musical action

constant. Badd Seed continues to develop new original

songs toward a possible full-length album later in the

year.

The last time I had seen Windber hometown favorites

The Characters in action was when they helped open

for Night Ranger’s concert at Windber Stadium in

1993 - more than two decades ago! The planets finally

aligned enough for me to finally catch up with them last

month at Crousey’s in Windber. The core of The

Characters is still the brothers Spinelli: singer/guitarist

Bob, lead guitarist Dan and bassist Jim (plus a fourth

brother, Mike, running the sound board); along with

Robert Moon behind the drum kit. The Characters

mixed up an eclectic variety of vintage rock, blues,

original songs and requests. I enjoyed their song

selection; they were doing the Moody Blues’ “The Story

in Your Eyes” as I first arrived, and they broke out tunes

from the Beatles, Traveling Wilburys, Steve Earle, Pink

Floyd, Neil Young, Bobby Blue Bland and more. Their

original tunes were catchy; one showed off some nice

Beatle-like harmonies, and another had a late ‘60s

Buffalo Springfield vibe to it. The Characters had much

of the large Crousey’s audience dancing and having fun,

and honored multiple requests for “Mustang Sally” to

close the night. I was glad to be reminded just how good

this band is; and I promise it won’t be another two

decades before I make the point to see The Characters

again!

The crew of Flight 19’s “Party Plane” saw another

change recently as Rogan Allen replaced Denny Frank

on bass. I caught up with the new-look Flight 19 during

last month’s performance at Altoona’s 4D’s Lounge.

Rogan brings a new shot of energy to the “Party Plane”

as he joins singer Brian Thomas, guitarist John

McKelvey, keyboardist Phil Steele and drummer Paul

Caracciolo, Jr. Flight 19 kept the dance floor filled as

they mixed up a wide variety of upbeat favorites;

spanning such names as Audioslave, Toto, Volbeat,

Theory Of A Deadman, Black Keys, Ace Freehley,

Nickelback, White Zombie and more. Flight 19 broke

out a few surprises this night, such as their rocking take

on Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” the Godsmack version of

“Rocky Mountain Way,” and with Rogan’s country

background, a rendition of Luke Bryan’s “Country Girl

(Shake It for Me).” And by the third set, the “Party

Plane” locked into its dance grooves with their

funk/disco medley and an ‘80s new wave medley to keep

the dance floor filled. Flight 19 next taxis down the

runway at the 4D’s Lounge May 10th.

More than a year after first debuting, This Albatross

has emerged into a popular dance floor attraction on

Altoona area stages. During last month’s appearance at

the 4D’s Lounge, This Albatross kept the dance floor

busy with a mixture of modern and classic rock, pop and

countryfavorites. Singer Autumn Shiffler’s bright,

strong voice has become this group’s centerpiece

onstage; flanked by guitarist Phil Wagner,

guitarist/keyboardist Paul Johnson, bassist Mike

Stanley and drummer Les Beatty. This Albatross kept

the dance floor busy with hits from Bonnie Raitt, Van

Morrison, Gretchen Wilson, Pat Benatar, Blondie, Joan

Jett, Cyndi Lauper, Bon Jovi and more. The group threw

in some interesting surprises during the third set, such as

their versions of Starship’s “We Built This City,” John

Travolta and Olivia Newton John’s “You’re the One That

I Want” from Grease, Triumph’s “Magic Power” and the

Tiffany take on “I Think We’re Alone Now.” When the

4D’s crowd wanted more at the end of the night, This

Albatross responded with Vixen’s ‘80s-rock chestnut

“Edge of a Broken Heart.” This Albatross has become

frequent flyers on Altoona area stages; they return to the

4D’s Lounge May 3rd.

Continuing to get Fridays off to a hearty bluesy start in

State College is the Triple A Blues Band, who plays

early Friday evenings at Zeno’s. Singer/guitarist Andy

Tolins, singer/keyboardist John “JT” Thompson,

bassist Peter Jogo and drummer Stubby Stubbs fired up

the crowd with their tasty variety of traditional blues,

original songs and more. Among the highlights were

versions of Curtis Mayfield & the Impressions’ “It’s

Alright,” John’s original song “Cab Ride Boogie,”

Andy crooning Robert Johnson’s “Come On In My

Kitchen” and more. Since Triple A minus Peter also

anchors Natascha & the Spy Boys, Natascha

Hoffmeyer stepped up this night to belt out some

premium soulful voice on three numbers during the last

set. Triple A Blues Band frequently welcomes guests to

sit in during their weekly Fridays at Zeno’s; see them on

other Centre region stages as well.

Northern Cambria’s City Hotel is again staging their

fifth annual Battle of the Acoustics competition this

spring. Staged over consecutive Thursday nights through

the middle of this month, Battle of the Acoustics

provides the opportunity for local and regional acoustic

performers to display their talents in front of cheering

crowds, with audience votes determining preliminary

round winners, who advance to the semifinal and final

rounds. During five preliminary rounds, some 31

different acoustic acts and performers took part;

advancing to the semifinals on May 1st are Andy

Lubert, Jae & Kayla (Root and the Fifths acoustic),

Chelsie & Stevie Moses, Mike Jubas & Mike Kinley,

Brian Nipps & Dave Mallin, G-Street, Ground Crew,

Alex Clarke, Chandler Weaver & Kenzie Blake,

Solegion Rock (Jarod Bartok) and Paul Hoover. One

more wild-card entrant from the preliminary rounds will

be added to the semifinal field. The winners at contest’s

end will score a variety of prizes, and the top winner also

wins a guest appearance later this summer on Rocky

104.9 and Rocky 99’s “Homegrown Rocker” local

music program.

Other performances I’ve seen recently included several

Sunday visitations of The Hurricanes at Shaw’s Bar,

and the musical fun and fireworks of Wednesday Open

SANE ADVICE By John Kerecz

Habits and attitudes can make you or break you. Many

a hapless adventure has been broken by the habits and

attitudes of its owners. Here is a compilation of the

common habits and attitudes of successful entrepreneurs.

They are good for any venture including your personal

music business.

Focus: This is the secret to getting things done.

Think: Take a moment and think about your situation.

Evaluate your options, weight them against their means.

Opportunities: See the opportunities that are

everywhere. They really are. It’s just that most people

can’t see them. But you must.

Develop good work habits and attitudes.

Don’t let criticism crush you: Everyone is an expert on

your problems. Realize that you’re probably the best

person to evaluate your own problems.

Never forget why you’re doing this: Sometimes, we

lose sight of what we are working for.

Be willing to take calculated risks: Evaluate the

benefits of doing something and compare it to the

benefits of not doing it. If you can afford the

consequences of failing, then do it.

Start even when you don’t have complete information:

You will never know everything you wished you knew

before undertaking anything. We just can’t know these

things, so don’t make knowing all the answers a criteria

for taking action.

Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses: Most

of us aren’t good at everything we try to do. Learn what

you’re good at and let others do the rest. Focusing on the

things you do well is the best use of your time.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes: You will learn more

from your mistakes than you do from your successes. Try

not to keep making the same mistakes over and over.

View every disaster for what it is: an opportunity to

learn and improve.

Persist: It’s been said a thousand times and a thousand

ways... persistence pays.

Be open to changing the way you work: The way it’s

always been done isn’t necessarily the best way to do

things today.

Keep pushing, even in good times: Just because you

had a good week is no reason to sit back and relax.

Determine your goal, then systematically overcome your

obstacles. The tragedy of life isn’t failing to reach your

goal. It’s in not having one to reach.

Triple A Blues Band by Jim Price


PROGMIUM - “PROJECT DIAGNOSIS” (The Project

Diagnosis Foundation) Every so often, we are reminded that

music can be a therapeutic and healing force. The band project

Progmium is the culmination of

Hollidaysburg-based lyr icis t Tim

Surkovich’s therapeutic journey through

the adversity of being diagnosed with

multiple sclerosis, and the “Project

Diagnosis” CD musically documents that

journey. Seventy-five percent of proceeds

from sales of the disc go to the National

Multiple Sclerosis Society. Conceived during sleepless nights

after learning he was stricken with MS, Surkovich wrote lyrics

about his struggle, and assembled the cast of singer Randy

Sciarrillo, lead guitarist/keyboardist J. Luis Morales, bassist

Rob Cunningham and drummer/keyboardist Dave Shaffer to

bring his song ideas to life. Surkovich and Progmium crafted

a modern progressive rock opera over “Project Diagnosis’”

dozen tracks, generating a style and sound often reminiscent of

Dream Theater, Pink Floyd and Queensryche’s peak Operation:

Mindcrime/Empire period. The arrangements vary from full-

bodied rockers to sullen introspective journeys, often bridged

together with mood-setting interludes. After the brief intro

“Through My Eyes” sets the tone of one of Surkovich’s many

middle-of-the-night lyric-writing sessions, the driving rocker

“Invincible” describes what he thought he was prior to the

diagnosis; a former high school football player and band

member, an active “man made of steel.” But that reality

changes with “Numb,” about awakening with one side of his

body numb; the first attack of multiple sclerosis. “Diagnosis”

documents Surkovich’s thoughts and emotions as he is

informed of his debilitating condition, and “Denial” describes

his struggles with coming to grips with his situation. Clocking

in at more than nine minutes, “The Beast Within” reveals the

double-edged sword that was Surkovich’s initial steroid

treatments - and their undesirable side effects. The acoustic-

driven ballad “Glimmer of Hope” depicts how modern

medicine can provide light at the end of the tunnel. The brute-

force “Rejected” boils over with Surkovich’s frustration over

what MS has done to his life, before the somber “Alone”

accepts that new life’s reality. The uplifting “As I Am” takes

stock of loved ones’ support through the ordeal, before “Take

Up the Fight” offers a message of hope to anybody else

dealing with a chronic illness or other adversity. The songs are

well-crafted and hook-laden, and Progmium delivers them

with heart and soul; Sciarrillo packs emotion into his vocals,

and the rest of the group tightly executes the detailed

arrangements. Produced by the band and Shaffer, “Project

Diagnosis” sounds full and powerful, with the band’s

components sounding clear and distinct. “Project Diagnosis” is

an engaging, electrifying listen; a well-compiled

documentation of one man’s ordeal with multiple sclerosis.

Hopefully, this CD will enlighten listeners to the realities of

this chronic illness, while financially assisting in the quest to

someday find a cure. (The CD can be purchased through the

website www.progmium.com.)

INSIDE OUT - “UNBREAKABLE” (no label) Formed in

1990, Johnstown’s Inside Out released two impressive full-

length, hard-rocking CDs during their initial lineup’s run on

regional stages; their self-titled 1993

debut album and the 1996 follow-up,

“Seasons.” But while founding guitarist-

turned-singer Tim Frick has kept a

version of Inside Out operational on

area stages continuously since then, a

succession of personnel moves

(especially guitarists) and evolving

recording technologies delayed a third album into an 18-year

stretch, save for a 1990 cassette single and some teaser demos.

But if you believe the adage that the best things in life are

worth the wait, the long-awaited third Inside Out disc,

“Unbreakable”, is a powerful, rewarding listen. Perhaps it was

the lengthy distillation and stage-seasoning process for many of

the disc’s 14 songs, coupled with Inside Out’s unwavering

knack for hook-laden melodies, alluring dark-toned lyrics and

tight and powerful execution; but “Unbreakable” stands tall as

an impressive, cohesive set from start to end. The group’s style

and sound have evolved from the 1980s-flavored melodic hard

rock of the first two discs. The current line-up of Frick, bassist

Larry Philip, drummer Mark Gindlesperger, and guitarists

Kolt Green and Jay Snyder ride the borderline between

classic-styled and modern heavy rock; the melodies are rooted

in the classic 1980s and 1990s tradition, delivered with a

contemporary abrasiveness and edge. Charging out the gate,

“Demons Inside” gets down to business and announces the

brute-force arrival of the current mach edition of Inside Out. It

kicks off a succession of infectious, sturdy rockers including

the regaining control ode “Taking My Life,” the give-it-all-

themed “Sacrifice,” the introspective “Inside Of Me,” the evil-

toned “Devil’s in Your Soul,” the disco beat-driven

“Love/Hate” and the throw-caution-to-the-wind “Giving

Myself Away.” Inside Out slows it down twice on the disc,

both impressively; the darkly erotic “Vampire Eyes” (a hit at

live shows and on regional radio) and the plea for forgiveness

“Say.” The group throws in an acoustic-laced pop rocker in

“Heaven,” and closes the disc with their stormy, nearly eight-

minute title song epic “Unbreakable.” Tim Frick has evolved

into a masterful frontman, conveying emotional intensity in

each song; and his surrounding cast packs power into the song

arrangements with thundering rhythms and stinging guitar

work. The production and mix sound full and balanced, giving

the group’s attack full bite while serving the melodies. It took

18 years, but “Unbreakable” delivers the goods as a premium,

hard-rocking set, as well as a statement of Inside Out’s

undying resolve. Bottom line…”Unbreakable” was worth the

wait. (The CD can be obtained through Inside Out’s website,

www.insideoutrocks.com.)

NAILDRIVER - “THE WHITE DEVIL CHRONICLES

VOLUME 1” (no label) Altoona’s Naildriver doesn’t mince

words or riffs on their first official EP

offering, “The White Devil Chronicles

Volume 1”, as they loudly and proudly

put pedal to the metal. Naildriver brings

brute-force, modern thrash metal over the

disc’s five tracks; paced by Kevin

Siegel’s precision rapid fire drum

thunder and Scott Bush’s quaking low-

end bass rumble, both laying the foundation for the snarling

twin-edged guitar attack of lead axe Scott Botteicher and

rhythm guitarist Todd Dale. These backdrops serve as the

launching pad for the Phil Anselmo-informed Doberman snarl

of lead throat man Matt Watson. Watson’s over-the-top

delivery drives home the intense rage of “Hypocrite’s Anthem,”

an impassioned, high-velocity condemnation of the Westboro

Baptist Church and its agenda-serving protests. Watson turns

introspective with his anger on the bracing disc-opener

“Enemy,” exploring how such internal anger should be

channeled. Naildriver takes listeners inside the mixed martial

arts octagon on the bold and volatile “Seal the Exits,” and the

disc-closer “Executioner” unapologetically levies the final

penalty. Naildriver shows a darker flavor on “Phoenix,”

ushered in by a piano prelude by the disc’s engineer and co-

producer Dave Villani; here Watson explores temptation and

the struggle between good and evil, with Villani’s dark mid-

song organ interlude providing extra color and depth.

Naildriver’s agitated performances attack from start to end.

The guitars snarl, and Botteicher’s scorching guitar leads slice

with surgical precision. Watson rages with savage abandon; his

rapid fire bark shows no mercy. The mix and production enable

Naildriver’s attack to authoritatively pound, rip and tear; the

sound is clean and razor sharp. “The White Devil Chronicles

Volume 1” offers power metal that connects with the jaw from

the get-go; Naildriver’s heavy-hitting calling card will make

fans of the metal arts eager for more where this came from.

(The CD can be purchased through Naildriver’s

website,www.naildrivermetal.com.)

RODGER DELANY - “MOMENT OF TRUTH” (no label)

Simplicity can often be the best approach. On “Moment of

Truth”, the first full-length solo CD by Philadelphia/South

Jersey-based singer/songwriter Rodger Delany, it’s often the

songs with the simplest, stripped-down arrangements that yield

the greatest impact. Through the disc’s 16 tracks, Delany

utilizes mostly simple arrangements of acoustic guitar, piano,

harmonica and voice to convey his myriad of thoughts and

emotions. This enables Delany’s raw

voice to directly communicate the

emotion behind his compositions, and the

intensity of his guitar picking and

strumming to compliment that emotion.

His bare-bones style frequently hints at

Harvest/After the Gold Rush-era Neil

Young, as well as the more stripped-down

sides of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen.

On the title track and album-opener, “Moment of Truth,”

Delany shares his point of self-realization, while his sullen tone

on “New” reveals his coming to grips with getting older. His

gentle guitar and vocal tone express humble, heartfelt

appreciation on “So Proud of You,” and his contrite tone admits

vulnerability on “Catch Me When I Fall.” On the other end of

the emotional spectrum, stormy relationship issues bare their

fangs on Delany’s angrier rants, “Blind,” “Without You” and

“Second Guessed.” Delany throws a twist into the presentation

with three piano numbers; his ode of longing “Coming Home,”

the remorseful “Mischief” and the appreciative “Still Love

America,” which closes the disc. Delany’s presentation is

honest and from the gut; his words are delivered like he would

express if he were seated next to you at a bar or café. The

production and mix are appropriately simple, letting Delany’s

minimalist performances do the talking with few, if any, major

studio enhancements. For fans of basic, heartfelt emotion and

music that gets directly to the point, Rodger Delany bares his

soul on “Moment of Truth”, a moment of true person-to-

person musical power. (To obtain the CD, visit Rodger

Delany’s website, www.rodgerdelany.com.)

LADY BEAST - “LADY BEAST” (Inferno Records) For those

who long for the sound of classic ‘80s-styled heavy metal,

Pittsburgh’s Lady Beast offers hope in the form of their self-

titled debut CD. Formed five years ago, Lady Beast’s sound is

entrenched heavily in the tradition of the

early ‘80s New Wave of British Heavy

Metal; informed by elements of Judas

Priest, Iron Maiden and Saxon (and to

this reviewer’s ears, an obscure ‘80s-era

Belgian metal band called Acid, I

digress). Rampaging, rapid fire rhythms

from bassist Greg Colaizzi and drummer

Adam Ramage anchor Lady Beast’s

attack, topped with snarling power chords from rhythm

guitarist Chris “Twiz” Tritschler and searing solo work from

lead guitarist Tommy Kinnett. With a confident style

reminiscent of the late Ronnie James Dio, Deborah Levine

displays her own brand of power and might on the vocal front;

boldly singing out odes to warriors, battles, ambitions and

honor. Each of the disc’s eight tracks (plus bonus track) attacks

from the get-go and hits quick, jarring the listener into full

attention. Opening the disc, the group’s title track and mission

statement “Lady Beast” sets the ground rules, with Levine

proclaiming “I set the bar, the stakes are high.” Lady Beast

genuflects to the metal gods with “Metal Rules,” proclaiming

devotion to metal music, its majesty and imagery. Battle

themes prevail on “Lost Boys” and “Armor,” while honor and

ambition shape the words of “Birthrite” and “Hot Pursuit.”

The closest thing to a love song here is “When Desire Is

Stronger Than Fear,” a hard-hitting pledge of devotion. Lady

Beast closes their official set with the hopeful “Go For the

Bait,” before slamming an exclamation point on the disc with

their charging bonus track “Ram It Down.” The performances

are brisk and go-for-broke, as Lady Beast floors the

accelerator and never looks back. Levine’s voice proudly rides

atop the mix with strength and range, and the mix allows Lady

Beast’s attack to bare full teeth with minimal studio polish.

This is old-school-styled metal the way it felt in 1982; Lady

Beast’s tenacity and enthusiasm makes it vibrant again in the

current age, and this disc should provide an ideal soundtrack

for “upping the irons” everywhere. (The digital album can be

obtained through the group’s Bandcamp page,

www.ladybeast.bandcamp.com. The CD can be obtained

through www.inferno-records.net.)
