The State College-based hard rock band Nyne bid farewell to area stages last night with their final show at Mojo’s in Clearfield. Nyne’s bassist, Adam Zimmer, is moving on to form a new band with former Til December guitarist Jeremy Edge, Adam’s former Stept On bandmate, drummer Josh Hetrick, and singer Charlotte Kopp. The new band project does not yet have a name, but more details will be announced soon.
Johnstown-based classic rockers Midnight Graffiti have added a second singer, as former Jimmy Sweatpants vocalist Ruschelle Dillon adds a second female voice alongside the group’s longtime lead singer, Natalie Kurchak.
And the area music community pulled together this past weekend to help out a youngster in need. The “Benefit for Chance” concert last night at The Cantina in Altoona drew a large audience of people, and raised over $1,200 to help out 8-year-old Chance Dull, a Bedford area youngster recently diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer. The bands The Marauders, Dragon Fire, The Embalmed, D ick Shack Posse, Sever and FedUP all performed spirited and inspired sets; and the evening also featured door prizes and a 50/50 drawing to raise funds for Chance and his family. Anybody who couldn’t attend the show who wants to help out the cause can donate by making out a check and mailing it to: Trina & Greg Dull 1014 N. 6th Avenue Altoona, PA 16601
