Illusion

About Me


Everything else was just make believe...

After almost eight years of some of the finest rock and roll that Northern New York has ever seen Illusion has decided to retire the name. Although all of the members will still be making music in different bands we have decided to retire the name for posterity. But keep an eye open for the occasional alumni reunion show... you never know when we may just appear somewhere to bring back some of the old days....

But then you'll know that everything else was just make believe...
