Aging Baby Boomers now have a band whose music reflects their refusal to grow old gracefully. As pioneers of Senior Citizen Rock and Blue-Haired Blues, The Defibrillators poke good-natured fun at the foils and foibles of aging in their contagious blues-based rock originals. Billing themselves as “the World’s Oldest Boy Band”, The Defibs show they can kick it as energetically as (if not as high as) any of the young whippersnapper bands making the scene. Their high caliber of musicianship is offset only by their subtle theatrics during live performances.
They have a rapidly growing fan base and receive regular air play across the nation from DJ’s that have discovered their music. The Defibrillators have been performing together for more than eight years, and have become a mainstay at the Riverhead Blues Festival for the past six years, the South Bay Festival, the Cedar Beach Blues Festival, the Huntington Fall Festival and many more. Promoters have sought out The Defibrillators to open up for such legendary acts as The Zombies, Leon Russell, Susie Tyrell, Motown Sound and others. Television credits include a recent feature on WLIW Channel 21 on Newsday’s Act II show and several public access TV shows, including auditions for NBC’s America’s Got Talent. Their eponymous CD has garnered rave reviews from The New York Times, Newsday, LI Press, Good Times, LI Entertainment, Aural Fix and other local press.
All the good fun aside, The Defibrillators have rightfully been called Long Island’s first Supergroup by the press. The members of the band are all highly accomplished musicians who have made their mark on the music scene.
Thereminist extraordiniare C. Chris Peters will be performing on the theremin – one of the most unusual, other-worldly sounding instruments in existence. Easy to learn but notoriously difficult to master, the theremin is unique among musical instruments in that it is played without any physical contact!The BACCA 4th Friday Concert Series
