About Me


Union Pulse - Last Thing That I See (live at Shank Hall, Sept. 30, 2007)

Union Pulse is one of the most diverse and dynamic original groups around today. You could catch an acoustic set, with piano and double bass, or you might hear pounding drums and searing guitars. Serene to savage, the band travels to reach new fans in new cities, as well as returning to places where they have already made good friends. Since the January, 2007 release of their 3rd studio album "Angel on a Wire," Union Pulse has become a group with brand new direction. Please take a moment to check out the albums online (at CD Baby 's online store, iTunes , or the official Union Pulse website ), and then treat yourself to one of the best original rock concerts you'll ever see.
