The Harrisburg-based rock band Red Room is calling it quits after four years together. The decision was a mutual one between all the band members. Red Room will play out remaining dates on New Year's Eve and in January. They thank everybody who has supported them during their time together.
Pittsburgh heavy rockers Skell unveiled their new singer to Altoona fans for the first time last Saturday night at Aldo's in Juniata. The new voice of Skell is Tim Kopelic, who previously sang with Crush Cycle. Tim replaces Pat "Bones" Bono, who left the band to pursue a non-musical career.
The "Backyard Rocker" sends sincerest get well wishes to a former member of Skell, drummer Rich Palone, now with the Pittsburgh band Rokbot, who suffered a heart attack a few weeks ago during a show. Rich is reportedly recovering well, and expects to be back in action soon.
Former Rennis member Craig Stiles is back in action with a reforming band project. Craig has joined Razorback Records recording artists Mausoleum as their new guitarist. Mausoleum is back after a three-year layoff, and is currently writing music for the second album entitled Back From the Funeral. They hope to start recording in January.
And the deadline for band applications to showcase at the 11th annual Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg this coming February has been extended. The new deadline is now this coming Friday, December 15. The Conference happens from Feb. 15th-18th, 2007 at the Radisson Penn Harris Hotel & Convention Center in Camp Hill. For more information about the Millennium Music Conference, visit their website, www.mmc11.com. Two keynote speakers have been announced for the conference as well: Bruce Warren of Philadelphia public radio station WXPN, and Walter F. McDonough, Esq., General Counsel for the Future of Music Coalition.
