Afterglow Playlist for March 30, 2006

http://soundscapes.us/afterglow/playlists/2006/060330.html

Afterglow is where I present an eclectic mix of genres with an emphasis on
Progressive Rock.

If you or your band have a version of the Genesis song, Afterglow, send it to me
and I will consider using it to start the program. If I use it, the band gets a
link on the Afterglow web site!

I also host The AM/FM Show every other Saturday morning and will be there on
Saturday, April 8.

================================================================================
Thanks to all those who came out last Saturday to the New Jersey Proghouse for
our CD Release Party/Concert. Opening act Fear of Flying was just fantastic and
the crowd gave us a great reaction to each and every song we played.

Initial reactions to the CD is overwhelmingly great! We think you're in for a
real treat when you buy the CD! Order now because THEY'RE HERE!!!

WDIY/WXLV and WMUH are already playing tracks from Meld!!!!!

The CD was mastered at Star City Recording by Carl Cadden James (of InsideOut
recording group Shadow Gallery) under the supervision of legendary producer Jeff
Glixman (Kansas, Yngwie Malmsteen). The cover art was done by Martin Kornick
who has done covers for Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Transatlantic, and the mighty
Spock's Beard.

While you're web surfing, check out the Pinnacle web site at the NEW address:
http://pinnacleband.com You can order Meld there right now!

Our first CD of five original tunes and one extra bonus surprise is available
there and at CD Baby! Check it out at . You can
also see any member of the band to buy your very own copy of our first release
called "A Man's Reach..." We had fun putting it together and still love the
results. You can read the CD's first public review at the ProgGnosis web site:

hand, we'll be beating the bushes for more gigs before then! Meanwhile, check
out the new look at the website.

Former members of ShadowPlay, Strange Brew and the Critters have combined their
talents to form this high caliber Classic Rock band which features great dance
material as well as great listening music (ear candy!) by groups such as Steely

Joe Cocker, Beatles, and other top shelf groups. The group includes Greg Van
Allen (guitars and vocals), Rod Gilkeson (vocals), Bob Ashmore (Keyboards), Bill

by to Rob Stewart who has bowed out of the band for personal reasons. Sorry to

capacity is only 75!!

Pinnacle will play a concert in support of the release of its second CD "Meld"
on Saturday, March 25 at the New Jersey Proghouse! We're practicing our asses
off to play some very complex material that is faithful to, yet independent of
the CD. If the CD is half as good as we think it is, then you're going to be in
for a real treat when the CD is ready! Pre-order now because they're due to be
ready NEXT WEEK!!!

The CD was mastered at Star City Recording by Carl Cadden James (of InsideOut
recording group Shadow Gallery) under the supervision of legendary producer Jeff
Glixman (Kansas, Yngwie Malmsteen).

While you're web surfing, check out the Pinnacle web site at the NEW address:
http://pinnacleband.com You can pre-order Meld there right now!

Our first CD of five original tunes and one extra bonus surprise is available
there and at CD Baby! Check it out at . You can
also see any member of the band to buy your very own copy of our first release
called "A Man's Reach..." We had fun putting it together and love the results.
We hope you will, too. You can read the CD's first public review at the
ProgGnosis web site:
http://www.proGGnosis.com/MUSIC_DBCDInfo.asp?txtCDID=8302

CD in hand, we'll be beating the bushes for more gigs before then! Meanwhile,
check out the new look at the website.

Former members of ShadowPlay, Strange Brew and the Critters have combined their
talents to form this high caliber Classic Rock band which features great dance
material as well as great listening music (ear candy!) by groups such as Steely
Dan, Santana, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Blues Brothers,
Joe Cocker, Beatles, and other top shelf groups. The group includes Greg Van
Allen (guitars and vocals), Rod Gilkeson (vocals), Bob Ashmore (Keyboards), Bill
Fox (bass and vocals), Billy Fenstermacher (drums and vocals), and Rob Stewart
(guitars, percussion, and vocals).

CD Due Out Soon

I'm so stoked!  I'm in a Progressive Rock band with Greg Jones and Karl Eisenhart.  We meet at Karl's to rehearse or record or write or arrange.  From late 2003 to late 2005, we (Pinnacle) recorded, mixed, and mastered our second CD titled Meld.  We are very proud of our accomplishment and think that it is a quantum leap above our first CD.  I hope that others will agree.

So why am I stoked?  Because the CDs are due to be in our hands mid to late next week!  That's just in time for our big CD Release Party at the New Jersey Proghouse on Saturday, March 25.  You can hear a sound bite at the Pinnacle website.  I'd love to get your comments.
