Ideas for the new Fear Incorporated album 'Dark CarnIval' are being put together and written at this time.
Many tracks have been written for this and this new album is themed on a terrifying troupe of misfits,freaks and geeks touring the wastes in search of unwary towns and villages to put on their ghastly performance with their pandemonium circus show.
Dark Carnival again will bring a new sound to Fear Incorporated-never wishing to stay in the same vein and exploring new boundaries to petrify our audience.
Circus organs will screech and we will pump horror into your hearts as the carnival klaxons scream and wail to our blood curdling soundtrack of fear and blood stained candy floss..
So just who are this heinous bunch of miscreants in this troupe of terror?
An undead Elvis,Lazurus Rattle-a man who will not die,a reptilian Lizard Lady and a Demon trapped in a box amongst other horrible characters...
Stay tuned for more updates on this macabre musical maelstrom.

We had a fantastic time last week at the Chicken Coop in SJ... thanks to our families and our friends who came out to see us play... a very good looking crowd with great taste in music... :- )
it's sooo much fun to play this music... the band members all agree that the Doobie Bros. Music is challenging and fun at the same time... their music includes Pop, Country, R & B, Hard Rock, Gospel and a little Southern Rock too... that's the beauty of their song list... it feels good to pay tribute to the Doobie Bros. and we're happy you enjoy their music too... we'll see you at the next LTR show... cheers...
The Band is currently writing more music for an upcoming album - Stay tuned!
Check out the shoutout I got from The Marquis - Music blog here. Huge thanks for the kind words! :)

Today is the official street date for the first-ever vinyl release of the Pernice Brothers' classic, The World Won't End. The album has been remastered for vinyl and the early reports give it high marks for the sound quality and presentation (Thanks, early reports!) This is the first in a planned series of Pernice Brothers vinyl releases, so please help spread the word.
The album is housed in a beautiful reverse-board jacket with a lyric insert and download card. The original artwork has been modified for this release.
The World Won't End remains a master stroke of pop songwriting. The album has been universally hailed for its elite-level literate pop and the overall marriage of pathos-laden lyrical content with shimmering sonics.
Joe Pernice's exquisite voice (a mix of Colin Blunstone's raspy croon and Elliott Smith's breathy whisper) and his keen, evocative, storytelling turn tales of love, romantic frustration, and depression into celebrations of real human moments.
Featuring classics songs such as "Working Girls," "Our Time Has Passed," "Flaming Wreck," "Endless Supply" and production which displays a genuine appreciation for the soft-rock textures pioneered by Todd Rundgren, ELO, and 70's era Beach Boys, the album is widely regarded as a high-water mark for Americana and progressive power pop.
"...bringing instruments and melodies together in (remarkably lush) harmony" - NME
"Pernice Brothers could best be deemed a power-pop group, but singer-songwriter Joe Pernice delivers his dark tales with such an overwhelming sense of heartbreak and resignation that the word "pop" sounds inappropriate." - AV club
