SUMMARY:Cleveland's 90s Goth Industrial Rockers Queue Up Rise From the Dead
DESCRIPTION:\nSat 6/28 @ 8PM\nOne of the bands that lit up Cleveland’s mu
 sic scene in the mid 90s was Queue Up\, a lively\, melodramatic techno got
 h band\, founded by former members of ’80s synth pop groups the Times an
 d Verdanzen Dennis Yurich\, Randy Blaire and Mick Derrick\, plus actress/v
 ocalist Alison Garrigan who provided a striking\, dynamic stage presence. 
 The group acquired a significant following in the industrial and goth scen
 es and even did some showcasing at out-of-town music industry events in Ch
 icago and Toronto as well as Cleveland. It also wrote and performed music 
 for a Dobama Theatre production called "The Vampyres" in 1997. The band br
 oke up when Hernan retired in 1997 for medical reasons. Yurich and Garriga
 n revived the band briefly in the late 2000s. Yurich went on to form moder
 n glam rockers Vanity Crash\, calling himself “Dennis Van Crash.”\n\nL
 ast year\, Vanity Crash did one of its special themed shows called “Our 
 Day Will Come\,” spotlighting the contributions of women to the Clevelan
 d rock scene. It drew on the many talented local women musicians – and o
 ne of those\, who joined Vanity Crash onstage\, was Garrigan. When she and
  Yurich joined voices on old Queue Up tunes such as “I Hate You Mr. Eins
 tein” and “On the Edge\,” the electricity was palpable.\n\n“It fel
 t really comfortable again playing with her\,” says Yurich. “Two years
  ago we started sharing some songs back and forth that we never really did
  anything with. I ended up writing a song I thought was perfect for her\, 
 and then we did the women’s show. We had already been thinking of doing 
 a reunion\, but it never happened. The big catalyst was the women’s show
 —rehearsing with her and playing with her and the fact that we had a lit
 tle bit of a catalog of new stuff.”\n\nThe original 90s Queue-Up had an 
 angular\, industrial-influenced sound\, a product of the times. It ended u
 p using taped bass parts as well as sounds on tape\, “voices\, machine n
 oises\, weird stuff\,” says Yurich. The new configuration drops that stu
 ff and has a real bass player\, Julia Jewels\, along with Vanity Crash sta
 lwarts Matthew Angel on guitar and Thomas Anonymous on drums.\n\n“The so
 ng I wrote was probably closer to vein of old Queue up\,” says Yuruch. 
 “The songs Ali wrote were a little different\, and when I re-worked they
  were even more different. They were still dark but had more of a funky fe
 el. I’m not a person that likes a lot of complex stuff. I like grooves. 
 It’s been a treat for me to dig back in this stuff and discover old stuf
 f and thinking\, we were really good.”\n\nThe new Queue Up makes its deb
 ut Saturday June 28 at the BOP STOP\, sharing the evening with Vanity Cras
 h. Go here for tickets.\n\nqueue-up-vanity-crash-bop-stop\n\n[mappress map
