In Local Music News… A member of local 80’s hair-band tribute rockers Hair Force One didn’t just pay homage to the 80’s in the past few days, he’s been on tour with one of that decade’s biggest names. Keyboard player Michael Troy, who goes by the name Roman in Hair Force One, just finished playing some South American and Mexican tour dates as part of legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen’s touring band. Another Pennsylvania musician who has been playing out of country recently is Pittsburgh R&B favorite Billy Price. The Billy Price Band recently returned from playing a series of dates in France opening for the Fred Chapellier Band. Billy Price appears on Chapellier’s new Roy Buchanan tribute album, Fred Chapellier & Friends; A Tribute to Roy Buchanan. Billy sang with Buchanan for a few years during the 70’s. According to Billy’s online newsletter, he and Chapellier had such a good time performing together, that he may be headed back to France in the spring to play some more shows; and that he and Chapellier might even do an album together. Some band personnel moves to report. Altoona heavy rockers FedUp have a new bass player, as Roman Dell replaces Don Singer. Local lady rockers Kitty Whip are again seeking a new drummer, male or female. Punxsutawney-based lady rocker Just Megan has completed work on her sophomore CD, called I Get What I Want, which should be released shortly. Several songs from the CD can be heard on Just Megan’s Myspace website, www.myspace.com/justmegan.
