Cory Monteith has proven he’s adept at air-drumming and/or playing un-miked drums on “Glee” for two seasons, but word has it the 28-year-old Canadian is an actual real-live drummer — just like fellow Canuck Justin Bieber! This word comes from Monteith himself, who has announced he’s in a band called Bonnie Dune that will be performing January 9th at Los Angeles’ Roxy.
Bonnie Dune have posted two songs on their Facebook page and one on their MySpace, all of which sound like an extra-poppy version of Death Cab for Cutie. There’s “Sea Sick,” a floppy uptempto with a lame attempt at a rave-up during the bridge, “Haunting,” a broken-hearted ballad, and “Better View,” a bright, wistful tune that’s the most polished of the three.
Though Monteith sings lead in the fictional New Directions, he’s a backing vocalist in Bonnie Dune — singer/guitarist Justin Wilczynski is the group’s main vocalist. Guitarist/singer Seth Roberts (who also plays in Lakes) and bassist Josh Kerr round out the lineup, and Jason Massey is listed as the group’s producer/cowriter. Wilczynski, who appeared on the MTV show “Kaya,” actually formed Bonnie Dune with a pal several years ago, according to his MTV biography, and the band started recording a debut album in 2007. Since Wilczynski is listed as the band’s rhythm guitarist and drummer in that old bio, it’s safe to assume Monteith had not yet entered the picture.
Sidenote: “Glee” has pretty strict rules about its stars recording music outside of the series’ very successful albums. Costar Mark Salling put out a solo disc called “Pipe Dreams” this year which led to speculation that he’d been axed from a few episodes as punishment. Finn should be careful, lest he get sent to Buffalo for the remainder of the show’s run.
