Looks like Lareau -- the modern-pop band with two Erie natives -- has a hit on its hands.
"Changes" -- the title cut from its Rust Records' debut -- leaps to No. 33 from No. 39 on the latest airplay chart for adult-contemporary stations, as compiled by trade publication Friday Morning Quarterback.

Lareau includes Pete Gool, who still lives in Erie, and Darrin Payne, who was born here and later relocated to Jamestown. N.Y. Other members -- including band leader Larry Lareau -- hail from Warren.

"Changes" is perched between a sliding hit -- Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" and Nickelback's "Everyone," which shows what company they're in. The current No. 1 is John Mayer's "Waiting on the WOrld to Change."

Yes, that's the Bay City Rollers from Scotland who'll roll into Docksider on March 16 -- a Friday, not a Saturday night. But whatever. "Saturday Nite" was their biggest American hit, back in 1975. It reached No. 1.

Rochester blues man Chris Beard will return to Erie for a March 10 show at Docksider. And Big Leg Emma heads back for a Slider show on March 3, so March is blowing in like one rocking lion.

The video for "Ressurection," the title track of Chimaira's upcoming CD, will debut this Saturday on MTV2's "Headbangers Ball." They play Cleveland's Agora Theater on April 5 with Killswitch Engage.
