THE PROPAGANDA TOUR

Featuring Chicago's top-ranked and legendary industrial band, " project.44", along with Invisible Records label mates "Apocalypse Theatre"

project.44

project.44 has a firm grasp on the aggro/industrial/tek metal scene. Hailing from the industrial/tek-metal capital of Chicago, where pioneers like Ministry paved the way. project .44 continues the tradition of Chicago's knack for mixing pulverizing guitar licks with catchy dance beats.

project .44's 'choatic' live show is a direct derivative of the aggressive nature of their music in which no spectator has seen before. Two hard pounding drummers flanked by players who attack their instruments, each other and whatever else is around. Their impressive stage show has garnered them slots at all of the Midwest's premiere venues (Cabaret Metro, The Rave, The Vic, etc.), as well as an accelerated fan base. Front man Chri5 Harri5, an unusual and imaginative new-comer, has an authoritative aura on stage that simply cannot be reckoned with.

Apocalypse Theatre

Apocalypse Theatre (also known as Apox) has been around in name since the early 90's, but Apox has changed sounds and members from song to song, CD to CD, season to season. Always melding styles & genres, & attitudes. Apox has reinvented itself and destroyed itself in fiery crashes a dozen times. Apox has performed in 45 of the United States, and tallied 450+ performances. From the deserts of Nevada's Burning Man festival to the Halls, Clubs, and basements of many many small towns, suburban worlds, and big cities all across the USA. They have shared the bill with Switchblade Symphony, Rozz Williams, Pigface, and dozens & dozens of other notable underground favorites. Apox has released 3 CD's and each represents a homebase. Wash. DC, then San Francisco, and finally Minneapolis where the core currently resides.

Apox is a living journal, with an ever changing cast of mutant cyber-pirates, punks, goths, and metal misfits. Hope Hillman & V. Mercy have alternated in the role of Captain & co-captain, steering this Titanic love child since birth, and inspiring one mutiny after another, tearing the ship in half, sometimes drowning the crew & its cargo. Yet, despite the odds, a spark always survives and eventually it ignites the whole damn bonfire / psycho drama on wheels all over again. There is no need for apology, because Apox is not for everyone, nothing is.. but there are those who seek another hybrid underground soundtrack to dance, gather, laugh, scream, rage & run amok to.

I might, dunno.....techno fest and skinny puppy coming up so I gotta save some bucks.

Damn too many concerts so little time....and cash.

[t1m3k1ll3r]

Yea, there is a lot of industrial/etc. shows in the next few weeks. Good to see that the concerts are picking up though, there's going to be plenty to do this summer, and fall.
