We Return!
Yes, its been a little while since our last show, but we’re taking the new year with a vengeance. We play tomorrow night (that’s Friday) at the Brillobox. We’ll be playing some new tunes as well as playing behind Molly Alphabet as she debuts her new CD. Also the very talented Pete Bush will be joining us on bass. Featuring additional awesomeness from City Dwelling Nature Seekers...
Goodnight 2011...
Happy New Year. 2011, you’ve been a good year for The Big Bend — we played tons of great shows with tons of great bands, released the album “For Everyone,” and capped it all off by being named as one of WYEP’s Top 5 local bands! Check it out: http://www.wyep.org/music/yir/2011/local/

Hey La, Hey La, we’re gonna be playing at Thunderbird! And our guitarist Dan “Calcium Deficiency” Dickison will be there despite his broken hip, rocking out in a chair. Come out and see him and wish him well! Note: He’s still in a precarious state of recovery, so don’t bump into him or CVBB will have to bring some crazy Altamont type shit down on your ass. Just sayin.

Hey thanks to all for coming out and watching us at WYEP’s Rock the Block. The show was great, and we had a blast and are still reeling from all the sweet free stuff we ate and drank! Extra thanks to Greg DeCarolis for doing such an amazing job filling in for Dan on guitar as he recovers from his hip-injury!
In other news we got a nice little blurb-type-review from JP’s Music Blog...

We are returning from our short post-CD-release-hiatus this Saturday (July 16th) with a show at Pittsburgh’s home of the blues: The Thunderbird Cafe.
This will feature...
