About Me |
|
Veilside's members have played in local bands for many years. Members have been involved in local acts including Onyx, Khaos Theory, and Altered State of Consciousness (ASC). Vocalist Chris Heller's departure in 2005 led to the addition of Tony Engel on lead vocals in 2006. After toiling around, playing mostly to the four walls of their practice studio, the band has come "back out of hibernation" to play a contributor to the local scene in 2007. 2007 was a great year for Veilside, as their return was met with great reviews. 2008 promises to be even BETTER!! The current lineup consists of Ron Thomas on drums and vocals, Jon Badalamenti on guitar and vocals, "Cabo" Bob Hilton on bass, and Tony Engel on lead vocals. Look for VEILSIDE to play near you and check out the show!! CHECK OUT THE TRAILER FOR "SECRETS OF THE CLOWN" BELOW, this is the movie in which our song "REALIZE" is featured!!! A chat with Mario from chicagosrock.com - make sure you check out chicagosrock.com each month for the latest on the Chicago music scene!! Video from the CD release party of our new song, "Smile" with a short PSA from Tony and Ron. Check out other videos in our "videos" section here on our myspace page! |
