Watch out, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato. Sisters Jessica, Rebekah and Destiny -- otherwise known as the band Petrel -- introduced their pop-infused rock sound to a packed house at Vibe Lounge in Rockville Centre on Thursday night, and they've got you on their radar. Given a little time and effort under their ever-trendy belts, this perky trio will no doubt establish itself as one of the premier names in family friendly rock-n-roll.
From uplifting rock tracks like "All Right" and "Lovin' Life" to the sugary, disco-dancey "Show Me," Petrel's polished studio collection shows their promise as budding songwriters and musicians. Vivacious lead singer Jessica bopped around the stage, drawing the audience into the show despite some tentative moments. Well-done vocal harmonies added some depth to the live performance.
One thing's for sure: the 'tweens in the audience, no doubt in the process of happily staying up past bedtime to watch Petrel rock out, enjoyed themselves so much they lined up for photos and autographs after the show. Cyndi Lauper described it best when she said "Girls just wanna have fun" -- Petrel certainly looked to have plenty of it onstage and didn't hesitate to help the audience have their share, either!
