The Fall Concert Series continues today at Rock & Roll After School (Franklin Commons – 400 Franklin Ave. # 109) with two young bands. At 7:30, SugrHi & Teen BOTB Winners Hiccup Hellen will take the stage for only $1! That’s some kind of bargain people… Get out and support independent music!
SugrHi may surprise you. This all girl, Alt-Rock power trio has been rocking venues since 2003 with the inception of their self titled debut album. Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Erin Fox fuses rock n’ roll chops with pop sensibility and a natural born talent that can’t be taught or manufactured. Drummer/Backing Vocalist Katie Fox is the anchor of the band, her tasteful playing and bombastic style drive the songs home. Bassist/Backing Vocalist Karley Cohen ties everything together with her almost over the top yet tasteful playing style. They have played such venues as Crocodile Rock, The Wildwood Irish Festival, Lickety Split, Bensalem’s TD Bank Amphitheater, and the Palombaro Club amongst many others. SugrHi has supported national acts as varied as Stroke 9, Amy Kuney, and Warsaw. They’ve also had a single and an appearance featured in the motion picture “Jack of Clubs.” Their next single is set to be released this winter, Produced by Artie Amici and M31 Productions.
Hiccup Hellen started in 2005. Working their way out of the basement they moved quickly to larger venues and more locations. Going through a few line up changes, they solidified they group to the current line up in early 2008. Their music is pumping and catchy making you want to sing along to every song. Their live performance is mind blowing how they get the crowd going and participating throughout the show. It is non stop rocking the entire time. Really taking a step forward, the band won a battle of the bands and won a spot on the 2008 Vans Warped Tour in Camden New Jersey. They played alongside Four Year Strong, Sound the Alarm, Jet Lag Gemini, Patent Pending, between the Trees, and multiple other bands on the East Coast Indie/Playworks Stage. Hiccup Hellen also shared the stage at other venues with Ivoryline, automatic Loveletter, Just Surrender, The Highcourt, Goodbye Soundscape, The Hint, The Morning Light, Me you and Everyone we Know, and many other bands. These guys love doing what they do, and are out their to give music that people can listen to and enjoy. Keep an eye out for these guys in the future, because they are a force to be reckoned with.
Get out and support your local young up and coming artists!
