IN THE NEAR FUTURE:


XEROID ENTITY:                                 http://xeroid-entity.com
=======================================================================
The Electro Music 2007 Festival draws electronic musicians from all
over the globe.  Don't forget to get your tickets early at
http://electro-music.com so you can hear Xeroid Entity at this
fantastic festival which runs from June 1 to 3.

Xeroid Entity is an electronic music ensemble consisting of Howard
Moscovitz, Greg Waltzer, and Bill Fox.  Our debut CD is called "Moons
of Saturn" and is available at http://electro-music.com.  We've
captured a lot of good music at our show at the Deer Head Inn and have
released some of it on our second CD, "Live at the Deer Head Inn."


MUNICIPAL BAND OF ALLENTOWN:                   http://MunicipalBand.org
=======================================================================
Please plan to join the band this summer for free outdoor concerts.
The first concert on May 20 at West Park in Allentown was rained out so
please keep an eye out for a replacement date.  Meanwhile, the next
date on the schedule will be on June 10 at Emmaus Community park.  Show
time is an early 6:00 pm.  But there is a food vendor stand handy or
you make a picnic basket.  Either way, the band has a great line up of
music to play for your listening pleasure.


PULSE:                                      http://soundscapes.us/pulse
=======================================================================
Pulse will next be playing on June 9 at Club 316.  This is shaping up
to be a do-not-miss event because Pulse is preparing new music!  See
you there at 8:00 pm SHARP!

PULSE plays at the level of a tribute band without specializing on any
one band.  This is no mean feat!  This high caliber Classic Rock band
plays the music of Steely Dan, Santana, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Moody
Blues, Jethro Tull, Blues Brothers, 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),
and Billy Fenstermacher (drums and vocals).

Read the latest Meld review atProGGnosis:


"[Pinnacle] are able to competently infuse their obvious influences
with a good degree of originality..."
- MJBrady

WLVR, WDIY, and WMUH are already playing tracks from Meld as well as
many internet radio stations!!!!!

Meld 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.

Our first CD of five original tunes and one extra bonus surprise (after
all this time, is it still a surprise?) is available at our website and
at CD Baby!  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.  Check it out at
