      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

TRI-BAND BENEFIT FOR CRITICAL NOCTALUCA BURN VICTIM 
 

Early on the morning of March 31st, Cincinnati rock band Noctaluca and their fans
were stunned by news that their first roadie and good friend Jason Parsons was
critically burned in a predawn house fire on Apple Blossom Lane in Anderson
Township, a suburb of Cincinnati.  Parsons is currently hospitalized with third
degree burns to 35% of his body and remains in critical condition.  In response,
Noctaluca has organized a benefit for Sunday, April 29th, 2007. An unrestrained
top-drawer evening of music and prizes, the three-band charity event will feature
award-winning Cincinnati music acts, free restaurant foods, numerous donated raffle
prizes (including a new limited-edition Fender guitar and a one year gym
membership), split the pot, and other fundraising activities.

The show will feature a rare opportunity for music fans young and old (all ages
welcome) to see some of the Tri State's best musicians perform together at just $5
per ticket.  The event will be celebrated in the beautifully restored art deco
Madison Theater (www.madisontheateronline.com) just south of the Ohio River on
Madison Avenue in Covington, KY.

Doors open at 4 pm and music starts at five (music from 5pm-9pm). The jazzy Chick
Pimp group opens with their avant-garde improvisation grooves, followed by CEA
award-winning jammers The Ohms, dropping heavy reggae/dancehall mixes. The night
culminates in a full-bore rock performance from the critically-acclaimed Noctaluca
at eight p.m. 



Advance ticket purchases are suggested as space is limited. Tickets can be acquired
online at the Madison Theater website or at the door. Thanks to many local business
donations and volunteer efforts, this promises to be one of the best concert values
of the year.

Chick Pimp Bio:

Chick Pimp was founded in the fall of 2005. Stressing improvisation and alternative
jazz structures, the band started jamming with anyone and everyone.  The
improvisation element has since evolved into a spiritual entity like nothing you've
ever heard. Jokingly described as "ozone jazz", Chick Pimp playfully aggravates a
variety of traditionalists by combining elements of jazz, bluegrass, folk, and
classical music to build a high sanctuary of mind and movement.

The Ohms Bio:

A fresh concoction of new urban jam sounds, the heavy reggae/dancehall influence is
ever-present with The Ohms, as they weave jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop and more into
the mix. With a strong focus on songwriting and originality, they are the organizers
and headliners of The Annual Ohmstead Festival. In addition, they are also winners
of the coveted Cincinnati Entertainment Awards "Jam Band Of The Year" (2005).

Noctaluca Bio:

This group of talented musicians and performers unite a variety of rock styles and
influences to create an instantly recognizable yet unclassifiable genre of
modern/alternative rock. Their neo-classic sound was captured on the highly
acclaimed "Towering the Sum" concept CD, replete with impressive performances,
international graphics from Gottfried Helnwein, and world-class Ashley Shepherd
production. The four piece features CEA "Songwriter of the Year" Jason Ludwig on
lead vocals and guitar, complimented by the progressive riffs of lead guitarist Jay
Aronoff of Mara fame. Their rhythm section pairs drummer/vocalist Brandon Schlunt
and brother Psycho D on bass guitar/vocals. Destined for international exposure,
these four musicians create a plethora of high-performance pieces that have
outside-the-box lyrics and more hooks than a discount bait shop.
