WE SCENE IT >>>
The Tacoma-based band Voxxy Vallejo played its last gig last night at Cheers West in University Place before taking a few months off to compose and record a new, as yet untitled CD. Expect the new songs to drop in late spring or summer. This will be the band's second album.
"You really don't know how long it is going to take when it comes down to producing," explained lead vocalist Sherrie Voxx Minter between sets at Cheers.
Minter, who many call the "Janis Joplin of Tacoma," performed a high-energy and spirited performance last night, owning every power ballad or classic rock tune she covered. Minter's musical partner, guitarist Gene Vallejo, rocked his six strings like they owed him money. Commanding the skins was the always-cool Markal Harris. Newcomers John Sommer on bass and Paul Coleman on drums rounded out the band. Their addition also prompted the band's hiatus to tap into their creative musical talents.
"We only thought it was fair to bring them in on our previous material," Vallejo said, noting that some of their songs they performed last night will be on the album, while others are still works in progress. "We have enough for two CDs."
