“Rory Kelly fue guitarrista de Crank County Daredevils, una de las formaciones de hard rock, con base bluesera y surena, mas destacables de los ultimos anos. Temas solidos como rocas, mares de sudor sobre el escenario y actitud como para papar un tanque. Y cuando parecia que iban a arrasar el planeta, van y lo dejan. Evidentemente, un culo in quieto como el de Rory Kelly no iba a acomodarse, asi que no tardo en empunar el micro, y en montar una nueva banda, Triple Threat.”

““Our plan is to do real well in Europe and hopefully catch on in the U.S. Hendrix started over there, and Twisted Sister did too. We’re hoping to get picked up by a big label, and if not, we’re self-contained. We have everything condensed as small as you can go. We have 17 songs in the can for our next album, and we’ll keep pushing the current one until it catches fire and stops selling, and then put another one out. We’ll keep on playin’ and don’t look back,” said Mike Kelly. Rory, Mike and bass player Billy Miller currently play 100 gigs a year.”

“The July 3rd Waterfront Park show in South Amboy drew anywhere from 6,000 to 10,000 people, depending on where you get your estimates from, and was the largest crowd Rory Kelly played in front of. However, Mike said that, “At a biker rally at Hot Springs, NC, up in the mountains, the bikers really took to us. There were about 2,700 people, just watching”

“The latest Rory Kelly album “Don’t Shake My Family Tree,” is doing very well according to Mike. “On May 22nd, it went worldwide, and can be purchased through the internet and virtual stores. We’re going over to Europe in October, and had to send albums in advance, so they’ll have it physically. They wanted it in May to promote it. The Germans loved the album, and gave it a 5-star rating in a magazine over there, and said, ‘This is what American Southern Rock is like.’”

“Rory Kelly, is on Rusty Knuckles record label, and also has a very energetic agent, Ralph Miller who is a graphics designer from Oakland, CA. He has designed Super Bowl rings. Miller started the record label with 7 top-notch bands. Kelly also has their own recording studio. “In our studio, we have video capability and no overhead. Rory is the best engineer with the best set of ears I’ve ever heard in my life,” said his proud father Mike.”

“The band’s Face book page www.facebook.com/rorykellystriplethreat describes their sound as “swamp rock with a Southern blues influence.” Also performing at this spectacular rock and roll show will be the opening band Shakedown is a newly formed acoustic cover band featuring Christina Kelly, Tom Small and Rich Fuentes…all familiar faces to the NJ cover band circuit. Expect to see this trio expanding and hitting the scene this summer. Next in the lineup will be the return of “The Bomb Squad”. One of (OBMM) Old Bridge Metal Militia bands. Original lineup: John “Boy” Crothers-lead guitar; John Poper-lead vocals; Mike Kelly formally of South Amboy-drums; Mike Bloomer of South Amboy-bass guitar. The show’s sound will be produced by “Basement Audio Productions”. Owned and operated by Emerson Jones with over ten years of experience. Emmy Jones is a bass player and a member of the “Rockdaddy’s and has performed in a band with Mike Kelly, drummer in “RORY KELLY”,”

“In March of 2011 they scored a coveted series of showcases with Texas Rock fest, which takes place in the heart of downtown Austin, Texas each year during the world famous South By Southwest music conference. Those showcases brought “RORY KELLY” interest from endorsement companies and a connection with Rusty Knuckles, his label. Summer ’11 brought more recognition to “RORY KELLY” as they were thrust into and embraced by the Southern biker circuit. “RORY KELLY”’s new album was released in late Spring of 2012, and has captured the interest of well-known NC radio personality Steve Blanton who will assist “RORY KELLY” in the production of their second effort. Revealing a band edging toward a harder sound, (Don’t Shake My) Family Tree, will be released to world-wide distribution through Rusty Knuckles with both US and European tours planned for 2012 in support of the record.”

“ His ability to fill out the low end with precision and smooth refinement makes Mike Kelly’s contribution to Triple Threat’s performances mesmerizing. Billy Miller, the bands bass player, also a skilled musician, experienced from touring gigs with Voodou and Super Sport, brought the ultimate component needed to round out this dirty rock n’ roll trio, forming a exceptional rhythm section with the elder Kelly to compliment the smoldering swagger of Kelly’s rock riffs. In 2010 “RORY KELLY” released their first album, Better than the Blues and soon was recognized by venues as a ‘house filler, bringing the house to capacity’ and a total crowd pleasing experience.”

“ SOUTH AMBOY — Not only will there be a spectacular fireworks show on July 3rd, but get ready for a good ole fashion “All American Hootenanny” with music that will “rock out” the Raritan Bay County Park. “RORY KELLY” is a 3 piece swamp rockin, blues band, headed by main man Rory Kelly. Triple Threat is adamant in its delivery of exactly what swampy’ rockin blues is all about; the core essence of pure southern music. Rory Kelly drives the force of Triple Threat with his stellar guitar work, powerful vocals and a true captivating, charismatic front man. Possessing a playing ability in a league with prodigies, Kelly is a self-taught musician that picked up the guitar as a boy and strummed alongside his father, drummer and South Amboy born and raised, Mike Kelly. Mike Kelly has quite the back story in thrash metal as well, being part of the infamous Old Bridge Militia of thrash metal fame. ”
