MUNICIPAL BAND OF ALLENTOWN:                   http://MunicipalBand.org
=======================================================================
Please plan to join the band this summer for free outdoor concerts.
The next date on the schedule will be on Sunday, July 14 at Midway
Manor at 7:00 pm.  MBoA returns to Allentown's West Park on the 21st.



IN THE NEAR FUTURE:


PULSE:                                      http://soundscapes.us/pulse
=======================================================================
Pulse will return to Quakertown on June 21, at Montana West for Bike
Night.  It'll be a blast!  We kick off at 7:00 pm so get there on time,
enjoy a full evening with Pulse, and be in bed at a reasonable hour!

The following week, Pulse will be a little closer to home at the
Maingate.  Friday, July 27, returns to the Maingate's outdoor bar for
the Office Party at 6:00 pm.

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).

"[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
