Somewhere in the fifth circle of hell, the Wrathful and the Sullen stood an eternal guard over Satan’s six-string like hungry hawks over a crippled beast. Times had been tough among the peasantry, but even the notoriously propitious prince of darkness himself had not seen the need for soul searching.
Sure, the list of novice guitarists was miles long and ripe for the pickin’, but with fuel prices were they were and the horrible gas mileage he gets from that god damn infernal Hummer, it just wasn’t worth leavin’ the house for another lousy soul.
Then one Friday night, the sounds of Lemongelli’s new CD, Vintage Vibes, blew through the devil’s parlor. Bewhiffled and borderline offended, the bifurcated one sprang from his couch, the plastic tearing as he muted Rachel Ray.
No sooner could he order his minions to pack his road case, Dustin Drevitch’s slippery lyrics stopped him in his fiery tracks.
“And she looked me in the eyes and she said … she wants it harder and harder … That’s an offer I can’t refuse.”
It was followed quickly by the southern steamroller “Do It to Me,” and the radio-ready rock anthem “Everything.” The devil had hardly wiped his crusty eyes when “Another Round” brought him back to his years of sabotaging The Black Crowes.
“I’m not scared to die, with a life of no regret/And I’ll take a glass of wine, at the table that heaven sets.”
Angry as he was, he knew he had been had. “Sad Love Song” turned out to be everything he wished he had written, and “Blame” proved, at least in his mind, that Lemongelli could not be bought.
The band has been through too much. This is the third release from the Pennsylvania natives – a power trio rising like a Thundersauraus Rex from the former Coal Belt towns where the trees stay barren and the waters reek of sulfur.
Drevitch is the master crafter of Lemongelli’s distinct funk ’n’ soul sound. Born with a guitar in hand and words in mouth, the barely legal frontman’s Christ-like ’fro and searing riffs teach music fans that yes, you can fuse the finer points of Guns N’ Roses with The Allman Brothers, The Faces, and The Crowes … and still be a relevant, modern-rock powerhouse.
Drummer Jamey Fisk drives the tunes like strippers to a pole convention. Jay Hudock’s gargantuan bass lines are clearly the meat in this 5,000-calorie burger, sans cheese.
Lemongelli is on the hunt. They’re going to grease you up. And aim for penetration.
Recently signed to Rock Aye! Records, the band is heading out on a Mid-Atlantic tour after the May release of Vintage Vibes, which has been receiving airplay on Pennsylvania radio and the attention of other PA notables like producer Bret Alexander and Breaking Benjamin guitarist Aaron Fink, who has made a habit out of sitting in with the band during its local gigs.
Faced with this incredible gouge, the devil had but one decision to make. He invited his servants to line hell’s corridors, and he gave his order.
They danced.
There’s no disputing Lemongelli has cracked the formula to eternal success. The only question is …
“Who’s coming with?”
