Manticore (A Tribute to Emerson, Lake and Palmer) w. Ad Astra
Saturday December 1st 2018
$10 ADV // $15 DOS
Doors at 6PM // Show at 8PM
Manticore - a tribute to ELP is a new project that is just now being released to the public. We’re a tribute band paying homage to the legacy of the incomparable 70’s symphonic rock band, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. We faithfully reproduce the music that, in the early 70’s, had a powerful & vital impact on the burgeoning music scene at the time. They took classical pieces by the masters - Bach, Tchaikovsky, Bartók, Janáček, Copeland, Mussorgsky, Ginastera, Brubeck - and reinterpreted them in a way that the original masters could never have foreseen. ELP infused them with the wilder elements of rock ’n roll - distortion, rhythm, power & flash. They established a foundation for future bands such as Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Queen & Dream Theaterand raised the bar for rock bands, enticing them to go big or go home by performing this music in concert halls, stadiums & arenas worldwide.
We have grabbed the gauntlet and are attempting to run with it.
Come & see the show!!
AD ASTRA is an Instrumental Progressive Rock/Fusion band that has been active in the NYC/LI music scene for over 10 years. With a clear focus on melody and arrangement, over complex rhythm and harmony, their songs always keep your interest and never sound monotonous. They've released two CDs of material and are writing for a third. Highlights over the last few years include performances at the New Jersey ProgHouse, a show with world-renowned bassist Stu Hamm and a blistering 90-minute set at the 2016 ProgDay International Progressive Rock Festival. So far in 2018 they have played the Long Beach Music Festival, are booked for Progtoberfest 2018, an annual three-day progressive rock festival held in Chicago, and have performed with national touring artists in the Instrumental Prog/Fusion genre. Things have been looking up and they're excited to do more and expand their reach.
