Dark Aether Project in Washington DC area next Saturday

[Adam Levin <alevin@DarkAether.net>]

The Dark Aether Project will perform live in the Washington DC area at 8pm
on Saturday October 30th 1999 at Phantasmagoria (301-949-8886) located at
11319 Elkin Street in Wheaton MD. Admission is $10 at the door for this
all ages show.

The Dark Aether Project's music has been described as "jazz-inflected,
often minimalistic...classy... mature musicianship without
pretentiousness" by Progression magazine and "..intense and blistering
lead work...amazing loops and shimmering textures that are at once
haunting and dreamlike...worthy of attention." by Expose. The Dark Aether
Project will perform in support of their latest album _Feed The Silence_
of which Progression writer Larry Nai writes: "Dark Aether Project hits a
lot of progressive rock pleasure points with Feed the Silence, but make no
mistake: this is not another derivative band with little new to say...this
is an absolutely fabulous album." See http://www.DarkAether.Net/ 

The Dark Aether Project is:

Adam Levin - Warr 8 String Touch Guitar/Keyboards/Loops
Ray Weston - Vocals
Allen Brunelle - Drums/Percussion/Keyboards/Vocals
Steev Geest - Guitar/Guitar Synth/Loops

Also appearing is Iluvatar who will perform in support of their brand new
release _A Story Two Days Wide_, their first studio album of new material
since 1995's _Children_. When attempting to describe the music of
Iluvatar, one is tempted to compare and contrast it with other well-known
groups such as Genesis, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Marillion, Kansas, and
others which fall into the same genre. While Iluvatar have certainly been
influenced by these and numerous others, they are a clone of none. They
successfully create their own unique and diverse sound. For more

Chris Mack - drums, percussion
Glenn McLaughlin - lead vocals, percussion
Dean Morekas - bass guitar, bass pedals, backing vocals
