Millvale
"The Beauregards formed in late 2009 after the indefinite hiatus of their
former band. Beginning as a trio with Tim Korenich on vocals, guitar,
and bass; Josh Hischar on lead guitar, bass, and other instruments; and
Evan Bellan on drums, the band looked to break into the indie music
scene. In 2011, the band welcomed Chris Trepagnier to take over on bass,
allowing the band to progress further musically. The band released its
first EP (Good Try) this past year, which is available on Bandcamp,
Amazon.com, iTunes, and CDBaby. The Beauregards are looking forward to a
busy summer of shows on the East Coast."

Favorite concert ever?

Least favorite concert?
Evan: Walk Off the Earth.
Tito: My mom took my siblings and I to go see Bo Bice for free. The whole time we were just asking her, “Can we leave yet?”
Josh: Passion Pit.
Tim: That Jeff the Brotherhood show was really disappointing. They didn’t seem to really care. Toward the end they said they’re playing a few more and going to bed. No encore. It left a lot to be desired.

Favorite thoughts, experiences about
Pittsburgh?
Josh: Our music really doesn’t fit in with a lot of the “scenes” that are around the city, especially with folks our age. But I love the people and the city with all my heart.
Tito: Great city to live in. Great atmosphere, and who doesn’t love the South Side?
Evan: Primanti’s, bitch.
Tim: Pittsburgh’s a major city that has a real blue-collar vibe to it. There’s a strong work ethic and an honesty to the people that live in the area. I love it here, and on the rare occasion we do play out of town gigs, it makes me proud to say we’re from Pittsburgh.
