In Local Music News.
Some newly-announced benefit shows top our look at Local Music News. “Moorefest” will take place at Ace’s Lounge in Johnstown this coming Saturday, November 4th, to raise money for the Josh Moore Fulfilling Your Dreams Fund. Josh, a friend of the Johnstown rock scene, died in a motorcycle crash last year. The show will feature performances from the bands Pivot, The Embalmed, Pelt and Disasterpiece. The show begins at 9 PM, and donation at the door will be $7.
For the fourth year in a row, Pennsylvania Musician Magazine, City Limits and the U.S. Marine Corps are teaming up to present a night of live local music to help out needy area children this coming holiday season. The 4th annual Toys for Tots Benefit will happen at City Limits on Saturday evening, November 25. The concert starts at 8:30, and will feature performances from Felix & the Hurricanes, FedUP, Silver Sunday, Bad Daze and Fayted. Donation at the door will be a $10 cash donation, or a new, unopened toy of equal or greater value.
Half Tempted is seeking a new bass player to take over duties in the new year. Current bassist “Big Jim” Ricotta will be stepping aside in early 2007 due to career reasons.
A name change is in store for Huntingdon-State College-based rock band Anything Jane. The group is changing their handle to Camino Sky.
And an update on a former “Backyard Rocker” guest and area musician…When we last heard from him, former Blue Skye Mourning member David Ramos was in San Francisco and had joined up with a band called Slight. Slight called it quits last year, and now David has hooked up with some musicians in the Sacramento area to form BKD. The group has some songs up on their Myspace page to listen to; check them out at www.myspace.com/davidkamandbrian.
