In Local Music News…
A change behind the drum kit for one of this region’s favorite bands. Shawn Hocherl has announced that he is stepping away from the band Vs. The Earth. The parting is on friendly terms, and Shawn has agreed to stay with the band until his replacement is found.
Lost Ledny is also seeking a new drummer, as Jason Kirchner is leaving the group to return full time to Johnstown rockers Pivot. Any drummers interested in the Lost Ledny position can find out more by going to the group’s website, www.lostledny.com.
A new showcase for bands and artists who do their own original music is taking shape in the local area. The “One Voice Musical Showcase” will take place once a month at one of several select area venues, and showcase different area bands each month. The inaugural showcase will take place on Saturday night, Nov. 5, at “The Dungeon” at The Castle Pub in Ebensburg, and will feature the bands House Of Cain, Killjingle, One Gun Salute and Inversion. The show will begin at 9 PM. Admission will be $5 at the door, with proceeds benefiting the Altoona Food Bank.
And Q94, Pennsylvania Musician Magazine and City Limits are teaming up again this year to provide an evening of local music fun and enjoyment to help out the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program. The third annual Toys for Tots Benefit Concert will take place at City Limits in Altoona on Saturday evening, November 12, starting at 8:30 PM, and will feature performances from Blind Jonny Death, Gin & Juice, The Nightcrawlers, Hexhed (featuring four former members of Saucemonster) and Hair Force One. Donation at the door will be either a $7 cash donation, or a new, unopened toy of equal or greater value. Members of the U.S. Marine Corps will be on hand, and all proceeds and toys will go to Toys for Tots, to benefit needy area children and families.
