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:
