When The Fury rolls into Lucy’s Retired Surfer’s bar tonight, the band will have one goal: to revive the Syracuse music scene and to promote its new album.

‘The music scene here has been a little dry lately,’ said Bryan Wynn, the Fury’s manager. ‘This is a step toward making it better.’

Boasting two Syracuse-area natives, The Fury is excited to return to its roots, Wynn said. He said the band plays an upbeat rock and roll style that will make for fun party music in the bar that will keep the crowd going all night.

‘It gets the girls dancing and having a good time,’ Wynn said.

The Fury released its first album, ‘She Rocked Me,’ this year, and the songs debuted on iTunes during the past two weeks. The album’s cover features a photo of the lead singer, Mick Fury, holding a guitar to the sky with his back to the camera and no clothes on.

This show will serve as way of generating publicity for the album, as well as generating a buzz for music in general in the area.

‘The plan is to get the kids in Syracuse excited,’ Wynn said. ‘Those kids are crazy up there.’

Wynn said the band is working on setting up a show at Chuck’s and would like to play at least three more shows in Syracuse before the end of the school year. The Fury will also be playing bars in lead singer Mick Fury’s hometown in Fayetteville, and at the State University of New York Geneseo.

‘In the long term we want to do as many Syracuse shows as possible,’ Wynn said.

The band will begin playing at 10:30 p.m. and will most likely continue until 1:30 a.m., Wynn said. He expects there to be a $5 cover at the door.
