Teddy Bears For Tragedy

Monday, January 4th, 2010

The band does have some other shows coming up and among them is The Trauma Teddy Bear Run festival at Camp Conowingo June 4th, 5th & 6th. KB is scheduled to go on June 4 at 6 pm. The idea of this charity is to collect NEW teddy bears for distribution to shock trauma, local police, paramedic, and fire departments who may be dealing with kids who are going through a trauma situation – a scared and badly hurt child could be given a bear to hold onto during this very frightening time to help them cope with the fear they will be facing.

If you can’t make the festival, the guys will accept teddy bear donations at any of their shows or e-mail us and we will try to get someone out to pick them up if you need.

Some of the acts booked for this 3 day bike fest are Jimmie Van Zant, Lou Gramm (Foreigner), and American Idol’s Amanda Overmyer. Tickets for this three day event are $60, $30 for kids under 10; and includes camping facilities. Make your plans now – there are bike runs up to the camp from three locations, check out this website for more:

King Belvedere Retools

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

The guys in King Belvedere are really glad 2009 is over! It was a tumultuous year that saw the parting of the ways with some close friends and quality musicians. Gone from the lineup are drummer Rob Armentrout and bassist Kevin Versak (who played an amazing farewell show at Mac’s in Essex). This capable backline have been replaced by a veteran rhythm section – Johnny Sexx (most recently of Pierce) on drums and Chip Michael (with Delaware rockers Spicer) on bass. Johnny has been drumming at KB shows for much of 2009 and Chip joined back in September – after only three shows together, the audience response and industry buzz for the band has been terrific! Then, in December, guitarist Johnny B. (Coal and Girls Like Cigarettes) joined the band, giving the new lineup two awesome lead guitarists and allowing Jeff to return to his coveted role as lead singer, front man and all around larger-than-life personality.
