SECOND WEEK LINE-UP FOR MEDIA THEATRE'S ONE SONG ROCK FEST
On Thursday August 16, Neon Karrot takes the stage. Formed in Media in 2009, the four musicians write what they refer to as 'fun, catchy, and original music'. The members are Media residents Alex Mercer, Mitch Moir, Sean Moir, and Tim Weathers.
Friday August 17 has NULL, also formed in 2009. With guitar, bass, keyboard and percussion the band creates the 'full sound experience' with their original tunes. They are followed by Keystoned, who performed in last summer's Garage Band Festival, making their second Media Theatre appearance. Keystoned presents a tight blend indicative of their diverse musical backgrounds. Now in their fourth year, they are working on their second CD to be released in late 2012.
The Great Socio also performs Friday August 17. They explode with lyrics about life, love, and paranoia with four keyboards, huge bass lines, and a trumpet-wielding frontman with a brave new rock sound. Formed out of The Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem, and Philadelphia, The Great Socio flaunts a unique brand of synth and bass groove rock.
Saturday August 18 brings Effusion 35, a creation of singer/ songwriter/ guitarist Pat Manley. Based in the Philly region, Effusion 35 melds the melodic style of The Velvet Underground and R.E.M. with the riff-heavy hooks of Led Zeppelin and Nirvana.
High Olives also performs on August 18. Formed in 1998, the band has a unique brand of rock music that was meant to counteract the boy bands which saturated the airwaves in the late '90's. Their sound is influenced by The Beach Boys, with vocal harmony and a tight structure, but is purely their own. High Olives was formed by Andrew and Nick Arbutina.
Modern Colour joins the festival on Saturday August 18. With influences of Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, they perform "Rockin' Blues".
To get "Rockin'", be sure to attend The One Song Rock Festival at The Media Theatre. For tickets, call or visit www.mediatheatre.org
