The Ohio State University lights the way for TBP

Friday, August 23, 2013 – The Band Perry was well into its set last night at The Ohio State University performing their smash All Your Life when the generators unexpectedly blew out leaving the band in darkness.

That was until the crowd pulled out their cell phones and created enough light for the show to go on. The sibling trio followed up with their cover of I Will Always Love You, and shortly thereafter light returned.

"We never know what's going to happen when we step on stage," said Kimberly Perry. "One show I'm throwing bits of my shredded dress into the audience, and another we're playing under the cell phone spotlight."

"We already play a cover of Queen's Fat Bottom Girls in our set and after last night we may need to prepare a cover of Meat Loaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light except ours would be called 'Paradise by the Cellphone Light'" said Reid Perry.

"The OSU students definitely lit up the house in more ways than one. They were great and they were with us all the way," said Neil Perry.

CD review - The Band Perry (full length CD) Image-wise, the siblings of The Band Perry are aiming squarely at the youth market.

Their musical style trends young, as well. There's an element of bluegrass in the music, but it's often more of a grace note on top of the pop-rock guitars and drums that remain the focus of the album. Lyrically, the songs also offer a ...
The Band Perry gets its name from the fact that all three of its members are siblings. There's Kimberly Perry, who sings lead, in addition to playing piano and guitar. Her brother Reid Perry is the bassist, while Neil Perry plays drums, mandolin and accordion. The centerpiece song of this five-track EP is the single If I Die Young, which is made all the more striking by the fact that it's also sung by a young lady. Being young is usually no time to contemplate death - leave that to the old folks. ...
