Live from Chicago Dirty Dan and Mongo Man Show Wednesday's 9:00PM CST  

Bloodstream Parade is a new dynamic metal band. Their sound comes from several influences ranging from the early rock/metal bands to the latest underground metal bands. BSP has experience along with business education. They speak loud and carry the big stick. Shawn and Wolf lead this machine. Shawn sits behind the set and and hammers the tempo. Wolf rips the bass with power and carries the bassist personality. These two rockers know metal and understand business management. BSP added their guitars who both have unique talents. Ryan is very methodical with the talent to integrate strong lyrics to the music they play. Tim is the free spirit who rocks out. His personality is the same both on and off the stage. This allows him to play open and rock hard. The final piece of the puzzle came when Tony joined to blast the sound waves with his vocal demand. Tony is very comfortable leading the band on stage. His vocal range and interaction with the crowd prove to be a valuable mesh with the rest of BSP. This band has experience, knowledge and hunger to grow to the metal giants they strive for. After the birth of their first album: -------------------- "The Apocalypse: in Retrospect"--------------------- BSP will overpower the underground metal scene and produce many incredible albums for years to come.

The fabled "Band Bio"....who reads this stuff anyway? So...we'll talk about how the band came to be. The current lineup started out in late 2006 when Jon Badalamenti, M.D. rescued 3 beautiful women from a burning building. Not wanting him to get all the credit, even though he did all the work, Tony Engel, Esq claimed HE did it and garnered much fanfare. So Jon enlisted the help of Bob "Cabo" Hilton, who was a bouncer at the "Circle K Lounge" and called famous attorney, Ron Thomas in case he could make a quick buck in a lawsuit. The ensuing carnage became the MIGHTY VEILSIDE. The "Mighty" part was dropped when the guys deemed that name to be too stupid, and just went with Veilside. In mid 2009, the band was held hostage by a short guy with long hair and a cowboy hat and after negotiations got intense, Russ Odean was convinced to join the band.....the resident terrorist and bartender. Okay, we made that part up. We came together like most bands do...from OTHER bands! Although the members all tend to listen to different styles of music, Veilside's sound is modern rock with big harmonies and a great live show. In June of 2008, the band released their debut CD, "Chapter One" that has sold over 1000 copies to date by word of mouth alone. 2009 saw the band head out to Los Angeles for NAMM and more shows that will allow them to become a regional force. The writing has begun and the plan is to record a successful follow up for release in 2009.
