This is one of the best 2 night weekends of the year coming up at Peter B’s in Sarver. Friday night its Freudian Hips, a very “groovy” band performing all kinds of recognizable jammin songs, but ones that aren’t over-played. These kids are quite talented, and have quite a bit going on. Check them out at http://www.mypace.com/freudianhips
Saturday night it is the return of Mia Mania (formerly Mia Mafia). These guys are one of the best cover bands I’ve ever seen, and are a real breathe of fresh air for the venue. These guys are very crowd interactive, and the energy is high and constant. Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/miamafiarocks
The Shady Lady Crew will be out both nights, so come party!!! Both of these bands will totally be up for it. Check out http://www.shadyladyproductions.com or http://www.peterbonline.com for more information.
Great show on Saturday at The Altar bar… Slaughter at the Altar. The bands were fantastic, with Terafin literally blasting things off to an explosive start. Broken Bone’s set was tight and consisted of several cover songs the crowd all recognized. To bad that was their last show, then who knows?
Kaj took the stage with an eerie intro citing the apostles creed, which led into their new song I Deny, which will be available on their upcoming 2010 cd release “Cold Silence”. The crowd swelled for Kaj’s set, filling the entire floor.
Dofka hit the stage and kept the energy moving, with blistering guitar and soaring vocals, playing an all original set. Dofka is actually competing tonight as one of 5 area bands to open for the upcoming Kiss concert.
The last band of the night, Skell, made sure nobody was confused about whether the venue was a church or a night club. They played almost a straight 45 minutes of original music that had the place in a frenzy. They closed out the night with some covers, and one of their cars having been towed. Is there really nothing better for people to do?
Very noticeable was how many people from the AK Valley area were present. It didn’t hurt that a large school bus brought a good bunch of them down for the show, but many made the trip on their own as well. It really punctuated what an incredible music scene we have in this area, as the percentage of people from here of the crowd of 200 was definately greater than locals. We also got a good bit of help from out-of-towners in town for the next day’s Steelers game.
The Altar Bar is a nice venue with decent sound. It was my first show there, as well as my first foray into the city other than booking some of my bands at The Hard Rock. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful, although the bar staff was definately the most miserable and unfriendly I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve travelled the world and drink a lot of beer. Got lots of comments and complaints about them, don’t know what was up with that. Maybe they are Jonas Brothers fans, and just didn’t like our music.
Anyways, want to give big thanks to those who helped make the show what it was… the bands for sure, especially Skell for providing backline and Kaj for all their help in organizing the party bus. Drusky Entertainment for giving us the opportunity and helping us out. Josh Sherkel for coming down for the PA Musician Magazine. Sticks for doing sound. Jess for working the door. Cindy from Twisted Draggin’ Designs for doing the graphics and t-shirts. The Altar Bar for letting us slaughter their place.
If you enjoyed the show, DO NOT MISS… The Heartbreakers Ball on February 13, 2010 at Peter B’s in Sarver, PA. Pics from the show are up at www.shadyladyproductions.com, and I should have video up soon as well.

Killer blues band tonight at Peter B’s in Sarver. Great vocals in the vein of Janis, and this kid can shred on the guitar! It doesn’t ever seem to matter which rythm section they have either, they all are so tight and more than adequately fill the spaces.

Slaughter At The Altar
Oh yeah, St. Patricks Day BREWtality is what keeps me doing this crazy thing. In my opinion, one of the best shows we have put on, with one of the best crowds we have ever had. If you weren’t there, I don’t even know how to express how awesome the crowd was, and how much ass the bands kicked that night. Hats off to Peter B’s and their staff for putting up with us, and catering to such a large crowd. Check back often, we have many more things coming up through 2007.
Tell me you did not miss this show. I have to hear from you if you did, especially if you are locals from the Sarver area. Don’t get me wrong, last years show kicked majored ass (did you see AK Soul???), but this years show was no less. Doppler Affect was as good as I’ve ever seen them, and in my opinion were the band of the night. That is not to take away from anyone else though, nooooo…. Ford Thurston’s debut at Peter B’s certainly won them some new fans, and you couldn’t have found a better closer than RBJ. As always these guys hit the stage and started “Shifting Gears” on the whole evening.
Make sure you check out our gallery from the nights activities, and hopefully we are back to do it again next year. See you there!
For the past 7 years Rock for Life has been raising money for people with cancer and other life threatening illnesses by holding a summer music festival at Iselin Ball Field, in Iselin, PA. This year they are holding a winter show at Ozzy’s Underground in North Apollo on Dec 9. This is a great cause and a great bunch of people, not to mention some of the best in local entertainment. So come on out and check the show out. Minimum donation of $5 gets you an entire night of fun and ass kicking live music.
