The Bumps, Local Honey and The Killerinas - 31st Street Pub - Saturday March 31st
We
are about eight hours away from a pretty cool show at the 31st Street Pub featuring
two locals, The
Bumps and Local Honey, with special guest from Erie, PA The
Killerinas. You may have heard The
Killerinas mentioned if you listened to Dave Bernabo's interview with Alan
Lewandowski for PNR. They are four girls and one boy on drums and they play
really fun rock n roll with influences ranging from The Go Go's, old Kiss and
The Pixies.
Local
Honey is a project that front woman Becky Corrigan has kept together despite
being the last remaining member of the original lineup. The contributions of
lead guitarist Trevor Thomas and bassist Rob Levkulich combined with Becky's
already wide list of influences added more depth to the band's sound. They are
the type of band who seriously sound better live each time you see them. The
blend of rootsy rock n roll, genuine country western with a touch of 90's alternative
is more than enough to make them stand out.
The
Bumps are just a fun band to watch while drowning your sorrow and stress
away in shots of whiskey and Iron City beer. That fits the 31st Street Pub quite
nicely actually. They describe themselves on their My Space page as countrified,
glorified, crucified, certified rock n' roll played by folks living all over
the great state of Pennsylvania. 'Come In Clear' was a big hit on Pittsburgh
Net Radio. There is nothing polished or overly produced with their sound and
that's 90% of the charm. It's real.
