About Pike 27
From 2000 to 2007, Pike 27 was a fixture on the Cincinnati music scene. The band garnered acclaim and awards for their 2001 release Falling Down Hard, opened for national acts (including Chuck Prophet, Dave Alvin, Robbie Fulks, Vigilantes of Love, Jason Ringenberg, and the Ass Ponys), and developed a reputation as one of the best live acts in the area. The band went on hiatus when singer/songwriter Dave Purcell moved away to work as a sociology professor at Kent State University. In summer 2013, Purcell returned home and put together a new lineup including: bassist Sean Rhiney (his long-time co-conspirator in Pike 27 and Clabbergirl and the co-founder of the Midpoint Music Festival), lead guitarist Mike Fair (Wojo, Mike Fair & The Adventure Seekers); and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Dave Killen. The new lineup debuted by opening for Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion in November. Pike 27 is jangly, smart, sometimes noisy, joyful. Good to raise a pint to. Like some of their influences (REM, Alejandro Escovedo, Elvis Costello), they are hard to pin down.
