Band break-ups top our look at Local Music News.
Two prominent Harrisburg area bands have split up. Deja Vudoo has announced their break-up effective immediately due to internal differences, and the group has cancelled its remaining shows. Harrisburg progressive/experimental rockers A Utopian Skyline have announced their break-up as well, due to creative differences. The group’s guitarist and singer, Aaron Miller, will begin performing with the group The Drama Club at the end of August.
An update on the band G211…We previously reported that the group had changed their name to Mia Mafia after replacing guitarist Dale Hart with former N.Y.N.E. guitarist Chris Lee. Subsequently, Dale Hart has reunited with G211’s original drummer and bassist, Tony Tamburini and Chris Gallagher respectively, and the three musicians are continuing on under the name G211.
Williamsburg-based heavy metal rockers Condemned Existence have announced that former Amystika bassist Corey Colledge has taken over the bass position in the group.
And according to show organizer Mickey Luckenbaugh, there will be an 18th annual “End Of Summer Jam” benefit concert for Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Details are still coming together regarding this year’s benefit, but the likely date for the event will be Sunday, August 24, with the concert location, performing bands and other details to be announced soon. We will pass along those details on Q94’s “Backyard Rocker” as they become available.
