ANAHEIM, CA. (Vixen Media/ www.mcfejj.com) - McFejj to perform their 'spontaneous musical combustion' on Saturday, Nov. 6 for the Right to Rock Concert. Slated to play at 9:30 PM, Anaheim-based band McFejj will join local group Blatant Feel to support
Orange County schools at DiPiazza's Restaurant, Lounge and Niteclub in Long Beach, Calif. A Fender Guitar will be up for auction to raise funds for Right to Rock.
'It is such an honor to be chosen to play at a Right to Rock Concert,' says Ethan McNicol, the band's lead singer. 'We feel it is a privilege to participate in a benefit that will make a difference in the lives of young OC musicians. I am especially proud because my son attends high school in
Orange County.'
The roots of McFejj consist of blues and adventurous rock stylings reminiscent of the bands Phish,
Faith No More and Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Musically diverse, the band's distinctiveness is created from the broad canvas of sounds available from a variety of musical instruments - guitar, saxophone, piano, bass and drums, as well as a supporting cast of percussionists and singers.
Founded by Ethan McNicol, saxophonist
Jessica Noriega, and former band mate Jeff Williams in 1999, McFejj began their quest to continuously evolve their sound by jamming with, and adding like-minded souls to their line-up. A musical scene unto itself, McFejj is well known for its commitment to embracing optional players that sit-in and lend their talents to creating the uniqueness and groove present in their natural tunes. Today, McFejj is a complete ensemble with the addition of Mike Morehead on keys, bassist Nino Paiz, and drummer Rob Warren as permanent players.
DiPiazza's is located at 5205 E. Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach. For directions to DiPiazza's, logon to
