Voted
"Best Cover Band" for 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 &
2007 by readers of The Valley Advocate's "Grand Band Slam"!
For 12 Years Orange Crush has been
winning over the hearts of hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the
country. Recently inducted into the Grand Band Slam Hall Of Fame for
Best Cover Band (as voted perennially by the readers of the Valley
Advocate) "O.C." performs at clubs, on campuses and for public & private
events throughout the year.
Guitarist Jeremy Simonich easily glides from one style to the next, while
Bassist Rich Yirga keeps the bottom end locked down. Drummer Tom
Kielbania JR supplies energy and non-stop flow, and Lead Vocalist Scott
Lawson has become the heart and soul of the group with his strong stage
presence.
Formed in Chicopee, Massachusetts in 1996, Orange Crush initially started
performing as an REM tribute band (taking that bands song "Orange Crush" as
their identifying moniker). With the arrival of a new Millennium, the band had
started reshaping it's set list to focus on dance-heavy smash hits from various
'80s recording artists.
Playing shows at local clubs had resulted in a strong following, and as the band
won their first (of what would later be many) Best Cover Band awards, they often
found themselves taking to the road to tour colleges. The band has toured the
majority of the Central and Southern United States, has opened for such acts as
Reel Big Fish, Guster, Young Love, OK Go! and continues to add to it's
ever-growing fan base.
Today, O.C. plays clubs, colleges, conventions, corporate events, town
green/park and rec. concerts, weddings and private parties - all of which makes
them the perfect band for any occasion for people of any age.
Once witnessed... you might even forget what decade you are living in!
