Bakersfield Condors News Release


BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Bakersfield Condors and Noveltown announced today the official release of Growing Up Fighting: Bakersfield Hockey Vol.1.

The Condors teamed up with local author N.L. Belardes and bands to create a compilation CD of original hockey-themed songs such as the Condors Fight Song and Zamboni Zombie. Saturday evenings in the Rabobank Arena can find fans of all ages rocking out before the game and during intermissions to the sounds of local Bakersfield bands like Rocky Nash, Myndsick and The Kookoonauts. The CD even features Condors players Reagan Leslie and Alexandre Bolduc along with former teammates Ryan Cyr, Scott Basiuk and a special appearance by Director of Media Relations & Broadcasting, Devin "Patchboy" Rossiter.

"I've been a hockey fan for a long time", said N.L. Belardes. "I used to listen to Canadian punk hockey songs and thought Bakersfield area bands could do better. The cross support for the compilations is amazing. Noveltown gets funding to publish a children's story, the Condors get amazing fun-filled music and entertainment, and local bands get exposure to a potentially wider fanbase. It's a hat trick all around."

"We truly appreciate all the time these bands have devoted towards making these songs and performing them at our games", said Condors President Matt Riley. "This is something very cool to be associated with."
