Christian band, Rockfish needs a venue - By N.L. Belardes

Find Brent at Bite Me Cookies in the Haberfelde...

I recently discovered a Christian hard rock band that isn’t getting enough coverage even in the Christian sector… It’s a band called Rockfish, and after spinning their CD “Have you heard the news” I am convinced these guys need to tour local churches to develop a following. Yes, I understand you have to evangelize the heathens if you’re a Christian rock band. But you have to develop a following. And, lots of heathens go to church anyways. You can always count on friends bringing friends and so forth. And then, Whammy, work ‘em with your musack, Rockfish!

With that said, bass player Brent Hicks is a follower of the local music scene. I saw him at the Vendetta Red show where Lostocean jammed to a big crowd. Yes, Brent and his Christian cohorts are all old timers, but so what? Their Jimi Hendrix style is amazing. And they're cool... Brent also makes a mean tri-tip sandwich over at Bite Me Cookies in the Haberfelde building. I should add I get a lot of vanilla Cokes there too (friends will notice I refused to use the ‘P’ word).

If you’re part of a local church or other venue and you want a hard rocking Christian band to come and play, then please contact me and I will get the word over to Brent. Or better yet, go to Angelina’s and you will find him. It’s in the same downtown building as Going Underground Records…

(Hey Brent, you guys need to be on 'MySpace'!)
