Two weeks ago, Felix & the Hurricanes competed in the finals of the Pittsburgh Blues Challenge at Moondogs in Pittsburgh, with a trip to Memphis to compete in the International Blues Challenge next February on the line. The Hurricanes came up short and didn’t win the Pittsburgh finals; Ron Yarosz and The Vehicle from Erie won the Challenge. However, the Hurricanes did earn opportunities to perform at the Carnegie Blues Festival and Indiana Arts and Blues Festival, both happening in September.
Hair Force One has found their new drummer. A.C. Lixx takes over behind the kit of the local 80’s hair-band rockers, and recently made his debut with the group on area stages.
The Marauders report that they will be heading back into the studio beginning in August to start work on their third full-length CD.
One of State College’s most popular bands has called it quits. Katsu played their final shows in late May, as the band members go their separate ways to pursue different music and career endeavors. Katsu frontman Dennis Fallon is continuing work on his next solo CD, and recently made a guest appearance on the debut album of State College rap/hip-hop group Midnight Love Ensemble.
