It’s time to support the local music scene once again.
Yes, I do the regular Friday Night Video post (as I did last night) and the ongoing occasional Weekend of Local Rock series. But these guys asked me personally for help (along with a couple other local bloggers) so I figured this was worth promoting.
You may recall the group Reconcile520, and I reviewed a show of theirs a little over a year ago – they were part of a benefit for the Haitian earthquake. A name change and a distribution deal later, Nail-D is ready to go with a ‘debut’ concert at Veracity.
As Rick Prouse noted in his e-mail to me:
Even though we have done a few shows here and there…..We believe we were born for such a time as this…This is our launching concert.
We are hoping to have the CD ready to sell that night but at the very least we will be able to take presales. Production is just about complete and our CD is getting ready to go into the artwork dept so we are praying it will be here in time…
We will also have a video crew there so we really want this place packed. Veracity can hold roughly 250-300 people standing so we don’t think it will be a problem to do. We are also seeking sponsors to help cover our costs for this as well so if you know of some businesses that you think might help out, let us know so we can either contact them ourselves or send you the promo pack so you could ask for us. All sponsors will get plenty of advertisement for their support..
Even though we are a Christian hard rock “life-metal” band, we don’t want you to think this show is only for Christians or youth… We want everyone who likes to rock hard come out.
Tickets for the show on April 30 are $5 and available at the door, which will open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7:30 show. Veracity is 2 miles north of the Delaware line on Stage Road.
If I can make it there, well, look for yet another ‘Weekend of Local Rock’ post. It’s getting that time of year when bands are more active and the outdoor concert season begins. But these guys are looking at this show as a prelude to a longer tour, so while they may have a few kinks to work out I’m confident they’ll do well.
