Well What can I say. As far as there show, in short words like Brink stated Larger than life and that is so very true. Faktion started the night of with a BIG BANG. I don't think if you knew they were from dallas, that you could put that in your head.  First of Aaron, has the vocal range that will suprise the hell out of you. Don't try to compare it to Anyone, cause that will not fly. All his own and he ownes it. Awsome stage presence, not all front men have these days by any means.

The Balance between Guitar and Bass is outrageous. The blend that they have reminds you of a well tuned car engine. With the destinction between both, it is un describable.

Coming out demanding the stage, Cult to Follow.. let everyone there know that they were there that night to kick ass. Great Show from First song...to the  Good Nite....  Honestly this is a band that I wasn't expecting there that night, but it was a great suprise. You could feel the energy that they were pushing all the way from the stage to the crowd, and Amarillo loved it.  Not knowing really what to expect..... all I can say is BLOWN AWAY.  Make sure you check their myspace..  www.myspace.com/culttofollow

You can get all the updates, shows, merch...... Great show Guys! Come back to Amarillo Soon......

All the way from Phoenix, Az comes 5 Guys that you could tell were put together for a reason. And that was to Make Music!!!!  Again I got to sit with these guys and get to know them a bit.  I still have questions about Beetsie.... but thats something I might not want to know......

Being together 11yrs, with musical influences from Blues, Rock and all around just music. You can hear it in every song they write. With the songs starting mainly music 1st, with Greg filling in the lyrics is a great start to a perfect ending. The band can really give you what you came for. A Show, Entertainment. Not having to much to say bout George Bush except "Satan", did not lead me down a road for more questions about our President.

They have been touring hard, and the work you can tell has gotten them were they are now.  Screaming, but melodic Vocals.  Great Guitar Riffs, to Rumbling Bass lines, and drum lines. The whole package. With Songs off the Cd, and the Single "All is Numb", sounded just like the CD. Nothing was far from what was on the CD, that is not seen these days. 

Finding out that they do 99.9 % of there promotions, newsletters, meet and greets, is a strong part of these guys so make sure to check out there websites with plenty to find out about what they are doing today, and next week.  Grab the Cd, get a couple Shirts........................................ Thanks guys for a hell of a night.....  Greg, Mike, Mike, Barrett, and Aaron...... Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well folks, Theory of a Deadman.  Some of the best music has come from Canada. With these guys being one of the best and most Energetic band I have seen to date.  I got to met them at the Meet and Greet, and just like a bunch of Guys just hanging out. If you did not know that they were Theory of a Deadman, you would just walk by and say Hi, or could sit around and have a conversation on any subject.  With the Nite not even in my eyes ready to end, they brought it all back around like a New Beggining Kicking the night of with Invisible, and Crutch..... Punch you right in the Jaw..is the Kick Ass feeling you got. My Favorites were of course Santa Monica, and Bad Girlfriend....... Which I did not think I was gonna here that one...but with the crowd of Amarillo's crowd, I did.  Tylers Voice was so on that night... giving and leaving you with chills.  Enteracting with the Crowd..... and the crowd feeding off of him ... again nothing but CHILLS.  These guys were ready to show us what they were all about.  Just the mixture between, David, and Tyler shows pure Musical Bliss. The response from the Crowd was inspiring in its self.

With these dates coming up.... make sure you make it out to catch them... you will not be disappointed by any means:
