AC/DC Tribute Band To Perform In Cortland
By: Jennifer Conkling - The Cortland Standard
(Cortland, NY)

     If Music lovers who will be at The Third Rail Saturday close their eyes, they will think AC/DC is on stage.
     Ballbreaker, a tribute band to the famous AC/DC, will be at the 1 South Avenue Facility from 10pm to 2am.
    "I guess we are a tribute band," said bass player Jerry Harkins, "But we don't look like AC/DC. We do sound like them though. If you turn your back (to the stage) you would swear AC/DC were playing."
     The Rochester-based group has played at The Third Rail numerous times. "We love Cortland," Harkins said in a telephone interview, "We've always had a good crowd." They also like the support The Third Rail and Bill Delaire gives them. "Bill and his crew do a fantastic sound job," he said.
     Other members of the group are lead singer Ed Spock, guitarist Mark Stevens, drummer Todd Tracy, and guitarist Steve Felerski. Harkins said the lead singer's voice sounds just like AC/DC singer Brian Johnson.
     "We say when it comes to a point when the voice goes, the band will die," Harkins said. "We have a blast on stage," he said, adding there is a "high energy" to their performance. He also used the word "bizarre." The guitarist will come off stage and wander through the audience. Harkins will wear a devils mask and there is some spitting of blood.
     Harkins said he is definately exhausted after a high-energy, four hour performance. "We put our all into it," he said.
