BIO:
Calisus is a high energy, alternative rock band whose live performances have inspired the trademark tag line, "Some bands just have to be seen live... " © Influenced by Classic Rock, Modern Rock, contemporary Pop Rock, Hard Rock, Grunge, Progressive Rock and Reggae, their diversity attracts a similarly diverse audience (18 - 50). With live success captured in a new live DVD/CD set, festival sized crowds and sellouts from Connecticut to Ohio to Maryland, Washington, DC and Virginia (helping venues set food and beverage sales records along the way), Calisus and its latest release, ". . . a new state of normal" are on an amazing upward trajectory. Tireless performers, a typical, highly successful "Calisus live" stop was the band's barnstorming of Columbus. Invited to play at 1 Ohio State's football game postgame concert, Calisus also played Columbus' three top rock bars over the same three day weekend, drawing enthusiastic crowds, and creating mass campus and underground buzz.
Their new album was mastered by the legendary Howie Weinberg (three decades of multi-platinum albums including Soundgarden, Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, and recently with Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers, Muse, The White Stripes). The newest Calisus CD continues Mr. Weinberg's long history of bringing his genius to rock's next generation of great talent.
Executing a unique internet strategy that extends to promotion of live events, the band even has the Calisus live crew, fans that organize bus trips to venues that Calisus plays. The band is technologically fully equipped, but prefers to use a venue's equipment if that is what produces the best sound. Calisus has up to three hours of original music, plays sets tailored to the audience that each venue attracts, and mixes in covers as diverse as its audience and its own original music (Rolling Stones, The Doors, CCR, The Eagles, Tom Petty, Steve Miller Band, ZZ Top, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Sublime, Bush, Oasis, Weezer).
With a non-stop front man, power drums and complex guitar work and musicianship rarely seen in Rock N' Roll, no one leaves a Calisus show unfulfilled. Everyone leaves with a unique mix of energy and exhaustion.
