MUNICIPAL BAND OF ALLENTOWN:                   http://MunicipalBand.org
=======================================================================
On Sunday, August 10, the Municipal Band of Allentown will play at
Bethlehem Rose Garden.  Concert time is 7:30 pm.  The concert is FREE,
outdoors, and a lot of fun!  

On August 15 and 17, the Municipal Band returns to West Park.

PULSE:                                      http://soundscapes.us/pulse
=======================================================================
Pulse will be at the Maingate for Bike Night on Tuesday, August 12.
Doors open at 6 pm and music starts at 7.  It is important that people
attend live music performances or else the clubs stop hiring living,
breathing musicians in favor of DJs, Kareoke, and other entertainments
that are nowhere near as exciting as live music.  And you don't need to
ride a motorcycle to attend, either!

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).




IN THE NEAR FUTURE:


XEROID ENTITY:                                 http://xeroid-entity.com
=======================================================================
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."

Xeroid Entity will perform at the electro-music conference in
Kingsport, Tennessee.  The festival is August 14, 15, and 16.


PINNACLE:                                       http://pinnacleband.com
=======================================================================
ProgDay is the longest running progressive music festival.  Held in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina at Storybook Farm, this outdoor venue will
host two days of international acts August 30 and 31.  On Sunday the
30th, Pinnacle is pleased to be the act at noon.  Stay in a hotel or
go camping.  It doesn't matter which you do just so long as you come
for a weekend of fun, sun, and music.  http://progday.com has details.

On Friday, September 12, Pinnacle will open for Polish band Riverside.
Riverside will be playing at two music festivals in September and this
is their only non-festival show in North America this year.  So catch
them while you can.  Pinnacle will unveil some new music that night and
proceeds from this concert benefit the Metlar Bodine House Museum in
New Jersey.  So while you're having fun, you can save history, too!

We've been asked to contribute a track to Tuonen Tytär Volume 2 which
pays tribute to Progressive Rock of the '70s from Finland.  The final
mix has been sent in for this compilation to be released on Musea
Records later this year.

Reactions to Meld, our latest CD, is overwhelmingly great!  A new
review appears on the Progplanet website at:
http://progplanet.com/index.php?categoryid=42&p2_articleid=701

We think you're in for a real treat when you buy the CD!  Order two or
more from CD Baby at http://cdbaby.com/group/pinnacleband and save 20%.
