PULSE:                                      http://soundscapes.us/pulse
=======================================================================
Pulse will be at Rios Brazilian Steakhouse on Friday, February 20, from
9:00 pm to 12 midnight.  Rios never used to have music and this is an
experiment for them.  It is important that people attend live music
performances or else the clubs stop hiring living, breathing musicians
in favor of DJs, Kareoke, or no entertainment at all, none of which are
anyhere near as exciting as live music.

As always, please visit our website to find maps, directions, and other
information about each club we play.

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).

Having a party?  Hire Pulse to play and your friends will talk about
your party for months to come.


TRESPASS:                                      http://trespassmusic.com
=======================================================================
Trespass will play a show at the Sellersville Theater on Saturday,
February 21, at 8:00 pm.  They will play a great evening of Genesis
music from both the Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins eras with stunning
visuals, costumes, and theatrics.  Tickets can also be purchased online
at the band website and at http://www.st94.com
