In Local Music News…
Some key changes for some prominent regional bands…Pittsburgh heavy metal rockers Skell have yet another change on the lead vocal front, as Tim Kopelic has exited the group, and his predecessor, Pat “Bones” Bono, has replaced him.
Lancaster-based party juggernaut Green Eggs also has a change in their roster. Longtime guitarist Steve Nelson has left the band to devote more time to his family. Former Badwrench/Stept On/In guitarist Matt Day has replaced him.
The Bethlehem-based band Spitshine is seeking a new bass player once again. Anybody interested in trying out for the position can get more information by visiting Spitshine’s Myspace website, www.myspace.com/spitshine <http://www.myspace.com/spitshine.
Two new bands have announced their formations in the past week. First, from the remnants of 4 Days Dirty and Saucemonster comes Slacker Theory; featuring singer Steve Danfelt and bassist Paul Greiner from 4 Days Dirty, Steve’s former Saucemonster bandmate Rob Bonsell on drums, and former My Turning Point guitarist Dalton McDonald. Slacker Theory is currently working on song material and should surface on area stages within the next few months.
Also forming is a new mostly female rock group called Kitty Whip. The line-up features Crystal on lead vocals, Dawn on guitar, Kimi on bass and Justin on drums. Kitty Whip will be making their first appearance on area stages shortly.
Due to a schedule conflict at the venue, recent “Backyard Rocker” guests The Scraps had to move the official date of their CD-release party at Aldo’s back two weeks. The official release party for the group’s new CD, Therapy for Retards, has been moved to Saturday night, August 18.
A group from Happy Valley music scene past is reuniting for a special show. The State College-based band Wentle Trap is getting back together for a reunion show next Saturday night, August 11, at The Brewery in State College. Lowjack will also be on the bill.
