ARI

Hey Im Ari, and Im a local musician in the Denver metro area. I am currently getting ready to release my first solo album: The Demons in My Mind. Im very excited to share this music and I think for the first time in my life I actually have a recording of which Im PROUD! For those of you who are musicians, you know what Im talking about. I finally figured out that Im not a freekin engineer and I should pay someone who knows what they are doing to record me. And here I am, a year, a life savings, and a good portion of my sanity later with something I cant wait to share. Im in the final mixing and copywriting stages so please check back in the next few weeks for some music on this page.THE MUSIC: A Beautiful Anger. The music is an interesting mix of what I would best categorize as Folk Rock. If I had to describe the content of the songs and their character I would call it a beautiful anger or just plain SEXY:-) There are some solo acoustic tracks on the album mixed with full band rock and straight up metal guitars. Im a metal guitarist by trade, but I cant find any metal musicians to work with who will tolerate my extreme drive.Also, I am beginning to tour the Denver open mike night circuit and I will start booking gigs in the next few weeks so stay tuned Thanks, AA Review from the Pool Cleaners From Distant Planets Website (www.pcfdp.com)Get a Leg Up Battle of the Bands II: Week 4 Hosted by The Toad Tavern BAND: Ari STYLE: solo acoustic rock WHAT THEY DID RIGHT: Good command of his voice, excellent skill with his guitar. Unlike some other solo performers, not all of his stuff sounds the same. Plays without a backing recording. Made a real effort to reach the crowd, especially on the last song: when he was having sound problems, he unplugged and went into the audience. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: I understand how difficult it can be to find a backing band, but if he ever does, it should turn a good show into an amazing one. OVERALL: I'd see him again
