Buckcherry, Hinder set to rock Redmond
Published 3:30 pm Tuesday, August 23, 2022
- Buckcherry will share a bill with Hinder Saturday at General Duffy's Waterhole in Redmond.
After decades of pop-chart dominance by hip-hop and R&B, the proliferation of hybrid genres, home-recorded music and electronic sounds thanks to computers and the internet, and the decline of guitar-driven music as a viable (non-oldies) radio format, you don’t have to go far to find someone who is willing to declare: “rock ‘n’ roll is dead.”
Don’t tell Buckcherry and Hinder that, however. The two bands (from Southern California and Oklahoma City, respectively) got their big breaks in the 2000s, but both are throwbacks to the hard rock of the ‘70s and ‘80s, when men wore hairspray and women were the subjects of songs with titles like “Crazy Bitch” and “Lips Of An Angel.”
The former is Buckcherry’s bawdy and turbo-charged biggest hit, and the latter is Hinder’s, a post-grunge power ballad about temptation, late-night phone calls and lips.
Anyway, they’re a perfect tour pairing, and they’re coming to Redmond Saturday. It should be quite a scene. Be there or be square, friends!
Buckcherry and Hinder: $60-$120, 4 p.m. Saturday, General Duffy’s Waterhole, 404 SW Forest Ave., Redmond, generalduffys.com.
