Perfect Red Sets Off Western US Tour
Story by Michele Mussatto
metal band Perfect Red launches their tour of the western
states this week to promote their second album, "Rebuild
the Afterworld." Already a sensation in the Chicago
area, Perfect Red's catchy songs and gritty style are
quickly gaining nationwide exposure.
Still "hold outs, not sold outs" to the
record labels, P-Red is financing their solo tour with
the support of their fans and west coast connections.
Already seasoned veterans of the Midwest circuit, P-Red
has performed with bands such as Disturbed (sold out,
House of Blues, Chicago), The Buzzhorn and Pillar.
Perfect Red's music has been described as bridging
the gap between alternative rock and heavy metal. A
hard rock band in every sense, P-Red's songs are melodic,
rhythmic and infectious -- and are catching on with
fans of indie, metal, and rock-n-roll alike.
P-Red's second album, "Rebuild the Afterworld,"
has gained critical acclaim from radio stations and
music magazines. The first track, titled "Take
Me Home," has already gained airplay and received
great response on commercial radio stations such as
92.7 WQLZ in Springfield, IL, where, due to a high number
of listener votes, beat out many major label bands such
as Staind and Audioslave. Illinois Entertainer magazine
voted P-Red the best band of 2005 under the category
of "Most Pleasant Local Surprise." Fearlessradio.com
features P-Red's songs in their regular rotation,
and rumors are that "Gonna Getcha" off Rebuild
will be used in an upcoming tv pilot.
a dish best served live. Lead Singer/Songwriter Timmmm
loves his fans, and it shows on and off stage. Timmmm
utilizes the entire stage during his performance, and
even mingles among the fans in the audience. He sings
directly to the audience in a very generous way, and
his fans receive his offering gratefully. Timmmm engages
the audience with confidence, as if he was born to perform.
His performance comes from his heart -- you can see
in his face that he's feeling every word he's
singing.
Drummer Tony and Bassist DJ are a force to be reckoned
with. They are fierce performers and very focused, providing
the strong backbone for the music. Tony is an aggressive
drummer and throws his whole body into his performance.
He is meticulous, technical and very confident. Tony
and DJ move as one machine at times, riding the same
brain wave, in the zone, and getting off on their music.
It's impossible not to be swept up by their wave.
Surfs up, dudes!
Jeff is an accomplished guitarist, rooted in the classic
hard rock tradition, but capable of a wide range of
musical styles. He is animated and fun to watch, whipping
his guitar and his long hair around without missing
a note. I've never seen anyone strum as fast as
he does. Jeff's melodic leads follow Timmmm's
vocals really well. A relative newcomer to Perfect Red,
Jeff's style is likely to add an exciting rock
element to P-Red's future compositions as they
write to optimize his virtuosity.
