The country music is done, and
now it’s time for a little local rock
’n’ roll and motorcycle fun.
Psychostock Three starts at 10
a.m. Saturday at Sankey Park. It
features eight bands, who will wrap
things up at 8 p.m.
Sweet Home Choppers also has
its 90-mile Fifth Annual Motorcycle
Poker Run scheduled for 10 a.m.
Saturday. The poker run will bene
it
Sunshine Industries, which is raising
money to construct a new facility on
Clark Mill Road.
Bands performing at Psychos-
tock include The Berated, Caducus,
Crimson Guardian, Laser Light
Shotgun, Brudos, Funkle Ted, To-
dayisNow and Brallix.
Brudos and Brallix are new to
the event.
Brudos has been playing shows
with Cadacus and The Berated,
most of whose members are from
Sweet Home. Brudos recently re-
corded a CD in Sweet Home with
John Pelcher of The Berated and
Caducus.
Laser Light Show and Funkle
Ted share a bass player, Chad Miner,
formerly of Sweet Home. All four
members of Christian act Todayis-
Now are from Sweet Home.
“That’s the thing,” said Psycho-
stock volunteer Andrea Culy. “That’s
the whole purpose – to give bands
like these a chance to play in Sweet
Home. These are our kids too.
“Some people are not country
music fans. It gives them something
different and edgier, and it’s not all
metal.”
Admission to the festival is
free, Culy said, and vendors can
set up for free. They just need to
bring their own tables. Concertgoers
should bring a picnic lunch.
This year, Psychostock organiz-
ers, for the
first time, have gathered
15 local sponsors to help pay for
full-sized posters, she said, and she
wanted to extend their appreciation
to the sponsors.
“It doesn’t cost anything to do
this event,” Culy said. The sponsors
are simply helping get the word out.
Jobe Woosley and Jeff Faulcon-
er, guitar players with Caducus, are
planning to participate in the poker
run, Culy said, then they’ll head to
Sankey Park to perform.
The poker run starts off at Sweet
Home Choppers, 4639 Hwy. 20 and
then runs through Gridiron Sports
Bar in Harrrisburg, Dixie Creek
Saloon in Tangent, the Brownsville
