Buffalo Live! Music Podcast

Shownotes for podcast #12 – Breakerbox

This weeks podcast features one of Buffalo’s hottest new bands, Breakerbox.

Caution: May not be work-safe, some adult language is in the live recordings!

This is the first real rock band I’ve done a podcast of, and all I can say is, it’s about time. Breakerbox is as exciting as it gets. Lead singer and bassist, Christina Reilly, has a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners stage presence and the voice to match. Her charisma and sheer attitude will have your attention from the first note.

Cosmic Stepping Stones guitarist Joe Pinnavaia and drummer Scott Calandra, complete the group and bring an intensity remarkable for a three-piece.

Thier web site describes the band:

“Born out of Buffalo, New York; a city known for discovering such acts as The Goo-Goo Dolls, Rick James, Ani DiFranco and Spyro Gyra. Breakerbox is on a mission to bring rock-n-roll music back to the fans and to the music industry. With their unique brand of Heavy Metal Motown (as they describe), they are influenced by everything from Motley Crue, Robert Palmer, David Lee Roth, Etta James, Pantera, and The Eurythmics. Their songs surround your eardrums with thick crushing guitars, big bombastic drums and strong sexy vocals that will leave you breathless and wanting more. This is something that is so missing in todays music, and is coming back with this gigantic wall of sound trio.”

In interviewing the band, I found they were a group of serious professionals, dedicated to pursuing their future with whatever it takes. Watch this band, they will be going places.

Recorded and interviewed February 25, 2006 at Club Paradise in Blasdell NY http://www.clubparadiseofbuff.com/
