Each member in the band comes from successful regional and national bands and have years of performance and studio experience to draw from.Have you performed in front of an audience?Concrete Sky performs over 100 shows a year, in Virginia and New York. We are planning to play in states across the US this summer and would like to work with other bands in new areas, and look forward to "gig swapping" with those wishing to gain recognition in our strong areas, primarily in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area. We've played in both large outdoor venues and small clubs. We like big stages, because it allows us to bring out the whole light show and PA -- plus, since we are a high-energy band, we don't have to worry about knocking each other out. We enjoy playing in any size venue, and more people the better. One of our favorite gigs was a concert we gave at a sold-out highschool auditorium. It was one of our first shows, and it let us know we were onto something musically.
Your musical influences
Concrete Sky has influences from all music styles, and is even influenced to a degree by literature, politics and art. Our sound has been compared to Creed, Pink Floyd, Stone Temple Pilots, Jeff Beck, Santana and the Beatles, which should reflect the uniqueness and versatility of the band. The philosophy and inspiration behind many of the songs initiated by Hembree, come from the ideas of Italian writer, Italo Calvino on balancing lightness and weight in literature.What equipment do you use?
We keep it straight forward for our music: guitars, bass and drums, though there are some keyboards and effects used in the studio. We have a strong light show, including intellegent lights, and use a lot of Mackie gear for PA. Bob has a couple Line 6 Vetta stacks, Mike like his Marshall half stacks, and Dan uses a variety of bass amps, depending on his mood. Chris is the same way with drums, you never know which of his sets hell have on stage from night to night.Anything else?
