Smokey Maverick

While few will mistake Pittsburgh’s local music scene for those found in Austin, New Orleans or Nashville, that’s not to say we are void of musical talent. Enter stage right Big Hurry, complete with their heavy hitting, well timed rhythms and lyrics. The strained, passionate vocals of Kelly Tobias remind one of Erika Wennerstrom, from the Heartless Bastards.

They were featured on WYEP’s RMP this past July, where Morning Mix host Cindy Howes highlighted the female contributions to the band’s sound, with Dani on the drums and Kelly as the singer/synth. Cindy credited the band’s “Loudy, poundy, riot girl sound” and followed with the heavy compliment that Dani “is the best female drummer I’ve ever seen” (!!).

You can test drive their sound for yourself on their MySpace (try Save Your Breath and Radio), but better yet, Big Hurry will be releasing their Silver Screens EP this coming Saturday Oct. 17th at the Brillobox. So hurry on down to the Brillobox this weekend, and partake in supporting some local Pittsburgh riot gal sass for yourself.
