KASHMIR
Kashmir was formed in late 2001, after guitarist Frank Livingston decided to leave the Led Zeppelin Tribute band he was in to form a show based on substance and feel rather than just “fitting the suit”. “It’s important to look the part, but way too often tribute bands seem to forget that without the sound, the look does nothing”. KASHMIR seeks to re-create the mindset of a 70′s Zeppelin Show utilizing authentic vintage stage gear, costumes, and special effects, with attention to great detail in a non pretentious way. But most importantly, KASHMIR does not take liberties on “improving” the music. Led Zeppelin should be played as it was using only the equipment available of the day and should be reproduced “dead on” with great respect and admiration. “It’s not about us, it’s about Led Zeppelin”. KASHMIR performs Led Zeppelin’s entire catalog including but not limited to Led’s Zeppelin’s movie The Song Remains The Same. Don’t miss KASHMIR-THE LED ZEPPELIN SHOW.
BLUE LUSTER
Blue Luster is the perfect blend of high-energy rock and fist pounding metal. Based out of Indianapolis, Indiana, Blue Luster’s music captures the ferocity, the catchiness, and the riffage of years past. On top of this, Blue Luster has a sound all their own that acts as a breath of fresh air in the seemingly stagnant current rock scene.
REVEREND BOOGIEMAN
REVEREND BOOGIEMAN is a TRIBUTE to all of the GREATEST HARD ROCK AND METAL OF ALL TIME!
GUNTER AND COMPANY
Since forming in April of 2009, Gunter & Company has already set it’s sights on the big stage. After spending a few months in some of central Indiana’s smaller honky-tonks and a few legions, the band has began to merge into the northern part of the state playing the larger clubs in the area and is now beginning to make some contacts in the southern region as well. Their songs are focused towards the party crowds, the hard working men and women, and most importantly, as they like to call it, their “redneck- posse”,better known as,” GUNNIACS “.
Currently, the band has been working on more originals and a few more top 40 songs as well. They have been in the studio working on promo material and will be recording their first album to be released in 2010.
Playing top 40 hits and the older classic dance tunes, the band has built a massive following in a short period of time. The energy that floods the stage with each performance is highly contagious as you will see when they strike the first note whether it’s coming from Larry’s screaming Les Paul or John’s kick drum. They take pride in their on-stage appearance and their professional work ethic. The music speaks for itself and their drive is full speed ahead.
Comprised of musicians that have shared the stage with major acts like Montgomery Gentry, Tracy Lawrence, Gary Allen, Ricky Skaggs, Neil Mcoy, Ty Herndon, Brooks & Dunn, Little Texas and a boat-load of others, Gunter&Company is locked, loaded and primed for success in 2010 !
THE ELIXIRS
We are The Elixirs. Our sound is a mixture of Horrorpunk, Rockabilly, and Country. Enjoy, …if you dare.
