[NEohioPAL] Dennis Rocks Rocky - Upcoming Queue Up Shows

[Dennis Yurich]

Dennis Rocks Rocky

While it appears that Queue Up has been lying low of late, Ali and I have actually been quite busy. Ali has been hard at work creating a new theatre company. Talespinner Children's Theatre will create productions for kids who would normally not be exposed to quality theater. And while Ali was deep in strategic planning, I jumped at the opportunity to play guitar in Rocky Horror. I am lucky to be working with extraordinary musicians who are not afraid to rock hard. Plus the cast is outstanding one and all. The end result is an irreverent execution of the classic musical under the masterful direction of Greta Rothman.

We have now done four shows to enthusiast audiences. Each night has gotten better and bigger audiences, with this past Saturday SELLING OUT. This has obviously been fueled by fantastic reviews of the show. We have three more weekends of shows left, so NOW is the time to reserve your seats for a science-fiction rock-n-roll sex comedy that will have you laughing and dancing at the same time. Shows are Friday and Saturday at 8pm. Oh by the way, this Saturday we are performing our one and only midnight show. DON'T MISS IT!!!

It is happening again! Rising from the ruins of Debacle 2010, the biggest local musical reunion is back. Like last year, fans once again will dive head-first into the music that ignited a generation of late Boomers and Gen X'ers. But this year there are even more bands. 18 of the most influential bands from the Akron and Kent punk/new wave /rockabilly era will perform live along with 2 brand new bands and 2 new bands featuring members of 2 legendary bands for a total of 22 bands over the course of 2 nights! The Debacle is September 16th and 17th at the Lounge/Backstage (formerly the Daily Double) in Akron. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Debacle-The-Akron-Kent-Band-Reunion/181955961827079

Vampire's Kiss CD - Get it NOW - http://Queue-Up.com

A whole bloody body of Queue Up material has been dug up and compiled onto a new CD called Vampire’s Kiss. Inspired by the b-side track of the same name, the disk contains studio works and performances long gone, but not forgotten. Many of the tracks date back to the mid 1990s when Queue up was touring throughout the midwest.

The CD contains everything from studio demos to tracks from the stage play “The Vampyres” to classic live performances. To add to the mix are two tracks from the recently revived Queue Up line-up featuring guitarist Dennis Yurich and vocalist Ali Garrigan - a live version of Bauhaus’ "Spirit" and an unplugged version of Souixie and the Banshees’ "Cities in Dust." The two founding members of Queue-Up bring on a newer, leaner, more visceral incarnation of the darkly enigmatic, Gothic/Industrial band of 15 years ago. The CD can be purchased online at http://Queue-Up.com.
===================

In the 1990's Queue Up was a musical force to be reckoned with. With its dark lyrics, emotionally disturbed imagery, slinky horror-struck guitars, sultry vocals and over-the-top stage theatrics, it was one of the strongest draws around. In 1995, Queue-Up's debut CD "Possession" received critical acclaim and plenty of college radio across the US and even in Europe, China, Mexico and Columbia. The band was invited the band to play a festival in Bogata but the trip was cost prohibitive. The CD also earned Queue-Up a slot at Lollapalooza that same year. The band's run was cut short due to Garrigan's unforeseen health issues. 

Two years ago Garrigan and Yurich reunited and have since been up and running strong, as a two piece or at times, with drummer Jason Giaco and bassist Brian Hager.
