Beta Male

This may be old news to those who fervently follow local music news, but I scrape by on press releases and the occasional visit to the Indianapolismusic.net messageboards, so some things invariably slip beneath my radar.

One of those things was the recent addition of guitarist/singer/songwriter Vess Ruhtenberg to Beta Male -- a local band that already was enjoying a good bit of buzz for the merits of its nervy, neo-New Wave sound before they went and added one of the most respected members of the local music scene to its line-up.

Some very nice photos that reflect the new addition can be found at the band's Myspace page here.
